Ottawa University’s residential campus is located in Ottawa, Kansas, the seat of Franklin County with a population of nearly 13,000. The 64-acre campus is conveniently situated along Interstate 35 and is within one hour’s driving distance from Topeka, the capitol of Kansas, and the Kansas City metro area.
