Terra Haute or "The Haute" as it is known to some1 has garnered a bad reputation over the years, with people thinking of it as smelly, dangerous and in the middle of nowhere. To a certain extent this is deserved however it overlooks the many positive aspects of Terra Haute.
The Good

The Terra Haute area is home to several instutes of higher education including Indiana State University, Saint Mary's Of the Woods and Rose-Hulman Insitute of Technology. It is worth noteing that Rose-Hulman is home of the worlds largest hand built bonfire2
Restaurants
For the middle of nowhere Terra Haute has an awful lot of things to eat with over 200 resteraunts including Square Doughnuts. If you go to Terra Haute get yourself some square doughnuts.
The Colts
