Like Indian Springs, Culver Creek is located in Alabama and shares a few features with the real school, though Indian Springs is much different today than it was when Green attended in his youth.
He wrote on his site that the barn Miles and his friends spend their big all-nighter has been torn down, and that the dorms are nicer now and finally have air conditioning , but that the location is still very much the same.
He also pointed out that instead of the fictional bufriedos that were the talk of the Culver Creek cafeteria, Indian Springs students would chow down on crispitos — which is basically just a taquito. While some scenes were shot in cities throughout Alabama , much of the series was filmed in southeast Louisiana , according to the New Orleans Advocate.
But anyone who does want to see the "real" Culver Creek can simply make a day trip to Indian Springs — just like Green did back in For as much as Indian Springs has changed since Green was there, his visit which he filmed for his popular vlogbrothers channel to his former alma mater revealed that some of the touchstones of Culver Creek were still intact then, and are likely still intact now.
In the before, the four friends spend their time together and get into your typical high school antics, while in the after Miles searches for the meaning behind a tragedy that befalls the group. I fell in love with the novel when I was in high school, and I was almost scared to watch a series based on one of my favorite books because a lot of my favorite books have been ruined by their screen adaptations.
The second Miles lays eyes on Alaska in the first episode, she quickly becomes the only thing he thinks about and he gets the notion that she is his destiny. Most of the series focuses on him trying to get her to love him, while she still has a boyfriend.
The second she is separated from her boyfriend, Miles makes his move and they share a single night together. After that night, Miles uses his time with Alaska to progress his character while Alaska remains a mystery to everyone, including Miles despite claiming he loves her so much.
Best and worst cheesecake flavors?! We get the image of Culver Creek as this tidy, insulated place where Miles finds the possibility of his Great Perhaps. So when Alaska dies away from the Creek, the protected world that Miles has built for himself implodes. And when Alaska is gone, the Colonel has to leave campus to grieve, but Miles doesn't.
Even though several key events do occur away from Culver Creek, the majority of the transformative experiences that Miles has are right there on school grounds. This is sort of the version of Culver Creek that readers are privy to. Because the narrator is a junior on a boarding school campus, the setting is almost devoid of adult authority in a way that teenagers don't usually experience in traditional schools.
Miles is on his own for studying, for meals, for getting up on time, for getting to class—it's a huge amount of freedom. And the adults who are at the Creek fulfill fairly narrow roles that only broaden slightly as the story progresses. The Old Man is the theological mentor of Miles in a fairly standoffish way. The Eagle is the token disciplinarian for more on him, check out his Character analysis.
And that's pretty much it. Teachers, except for the Old Man, are interchangeable. Much more important are the spaces where adults don't go or rarely go, such as the dorms, the Smoking Hole, and the barn.
The dorms at the Creek are places where adult and teenage worlds overlap, so the shenanigans that take place there need to remain under the radar. The Eagle may pop up at any moment, or parents may call on the pay phones at the end of the halls, and people can visit one another's rooms with relative impunity.
Much of Miles's and the Colonel's relationship develops in the dorms, over video games and snarking duels. Alaska, too, becomes integrated into Miles's dorm experience, though over Thanksgiving she introduces him to the secrets and mysteries dorm rooms have to offer.
