Crete A friendly college town located within short driving distance of Lincoln, Crete features historic homes, gracious parks, an excellent school system, and a quality of life that’s hard to match. A community of just over 6,000, living and learning in Crete provides the best of both worlds—a safe, scenic, close-knit community in which to engage in academic pursuits, yet just 25 minutes away from the many attractions and resources of Lincoln, a city of fewer than 250,000.

Lincoln
While big enough to be able to meet new people from across the nation, Lincoln offers the safety and security of a smaller community. In addition to a laid-back lifestyle, Lincoln offers a virtually endless array of academic, professional, cultural, and recreational resources and outlets. As a Doane student or faculty, you’ll enjoy exploring everything from charming restaurants, bustling shopping malls, and intriguing antique and thrift stores, to concerts, theater, and nearby vineyards. You'll have the ability to go fishing, water-skiing, motor boating, camping, jet-skiing, and even skydiving! In addition, you also will build close connections to the local community by leading and serving in events such as the Relay for Life organized with the American Cancer Society.
