Baldwin City

A tiny, tiny town. Yeah, it may be small.. But mostly everyone is friends here. There are no gangs, big crime. Most kids don't realize how nice it is to grow up in a calm place. Sure, its not that entertaining and fun, but that's what Lawrence is for. Our school is pretty mellow- there's not a lot of drama, and its a fairly happy enviroment. We have a few little stores, sonic, gas stations, a pool, and all that good stuff. It could be worse, guys.. It could be worse.
You grew up in.. Baldwin City?
Yeah! It was a nice childhood, now that I think about it.

Baldwin Wallace University

Formerly known as Baldwin-Wallace College. BW is a small liberal arts college in Berea, Ohio, which is home to beautiful parks and lakes. Unfortunately, aside from the parks, Berea offers very little except a club called "Wing Warehouse" where students punish their livers with copious amounts of alcohol.

The curriculum at BW focuses heavily on liberal arts and offers many unique classes. One such class is the innovative (and required) course called "Enduring Questions for an Intercultural World" which is widely regarded as a "big fucking waste of time." A BW student is also required to take multiple health and physical education classes because fuck you that's why.

Additionally, BW is home to a world-class conservatory of music, which houses one of the leading Musical Theater programs in the country. And those Musical Theater kids won't ever let you fucking forget it. Despite a shiny new conservatory building, the Musical Theater students still prefer to rehearse their songs in any space that is not a practice room. Campus cafes, dining halls, dorm lobbies, you name it! - there are sure to be Musical Theater students screaming their rendition of "Seasons of Love."

BW is also home to many other notable programs, and has been making headlines around the country for the business, education, and neuroscience programs, and (most recently) for being home to an ecstasy-producing drug lab.

Coe Lake sure is pretty, though.
"Hey, I heard there was a huge drug bust at Baldwin Wallace University!"

"To be fair, drugs are really the only way to cope with those Musical Theater students."

Baldwin Park

A small town that you grow up in until you realize you're a big fish in a small pond. Schools are walking distance, the first In-n-Out is down the street, and you make lifelong friends here.
