Anyone going to Cincinnati this year? Know anything about the school or city (other than what you find on the website, that is)?

Go Bearcats

I'm a native Cincinnatian and current student at UC- been affiliated with the University for the better part of the last decade. What do you want to know about the school?

Lanthy, thanks for the offer!

I'm visiting in a couple of weeks, so I'll get a feel for what I want to know a bit better after that point. But right now I'm thinking about housing - trying to set up times to see places when I visit. What are the spots to stay away from for housing, and where to aim for? I hear Clifton is almost all undergrads, and that Clifton Gaslight is more grad students, but still close to campus. I also hear downtown is pretty hit-or-miss, and can be really sketchy. How do students find housing - is there a campus office, or a set of realtors that are most helpful? Or is it more craigslist and word of mouth?

Hi, LanthyPhair. I just accepted admission to the SOC grad program at UC. I live in NKY, so I'm worried about the commute over the bridge every day!

Any tips or advice for an incoming SOC grad student at UC?

Thanks,

Debbi
