The University of
Cincinnati
Welcome to my
small dedication to one of my favourite places in the world -
The University of Cincinnati. I currently have senior standing,
but I don't anticipate graduating until spring of 2002. Why so
long? Well, for one, I put off those damn science requirements.
:-) Secondly, I tend to take only four or five classes a quarter
because of working full time. And finally, I'm in one of those
very popular majors where it is impossible to get any of the classes
that you really need. I have been a student at UC since I was
sixteen years old, and this is the place that helped me define
myself. There is quite literally something for everyone here.
UC is the summation
of what a college experience should be. The campus is located
in historic Clifton, which is the perfect college student hangout.
The town is swarming with things to do. Visit Short Vine to catch
a show at Bogarts, eat dinner
at the best Skyline
in the city on the corner of Clifton and Ludlow, stop in Graeters
for the best coffee ice cream in the world, roam the streets of
the beautiful Gaslight District, with it's huge mansions and beautiful
architechture. If you're looking for excitement, visit Vertigo
in the University Plaza on Friday or Saturday night to catch the
male strip show. :-) *Highly Recommended.* Also, don't forget
to visit Highlands on the corner of Highland and East University-
It's the best coffee house in Clifton.
But enough of
the surrounding areas. Let me give you a little information on
the University itself. UC is a public institution of higher education.
Pu blic = cheap. :-) Always a plus when making that important
college decision. But just because it is a public school does
not mean that you'll gain less of an education. UC is one of the
best public schools in the nation. We're most famous for our outstanding
DAAP (Design, Architechture, Art & Planning) school, the College
Conservatory or Music (home of many past and future Broadway stars),
The College of Business Administration, our Engineering School,
The Schoool of Education, and one of the best medical programs
in the country.
Aside from these
major schools within the University, one cannot overlook the other
programs that UC offers. In fact, there are hundreds of majors
to choose from. If ever you dreamed of going to college, UC is
more than likely to help you accomplish your goals. As the motto
says "All dreams are welcome here."
One aspect that
I love so much about UC is how large it is. With nearly 40,000
students, you're going to encounter more people here than you
probably will for the rest of your life. It's a fully diverse
campus, and meeting people is easy with the number of clubs and
activities that UC offers to the students. Other assets include
wonderful sports teams (NCAA Division I), classes offered at all
hours of the day, and the wonderful events you can always find
happening on McMicken Commons. Be sure to pick up a current copy
of The News Record to find out about other upcoming events, public
speakers, and general university news.
I cannot fully
show the wonderful aspects of this University here on this webpage.
It would take too much time to explain all that UC has to offer
to prospective students. Instead, I urge you to visit their homepage-
The University of Cincinnati.
Here, you can learn more about the history of the University,
the programs that they offer, and request information or an application.
See ya around campus... I can be found most of the time in Teacher
College, or cutting class and enjoying a sunny day out on the
commons.
