[quote=Anonymous]Since there haven't been too many responses, I will chime in.  I did not attend but I live in Cincinnati and am familiar with the area.  I also have friends with children in the school or recently graduated.  Its a very large university, surpassing 50,000 students this year or which ~38,000 or so are undergrads.  As noted above, DAAP is very highly regarded.  Its also has a well regarded Conservatory of Music and known in this area for its co-op based engineering programs.

The school itself has invested substantially in its physical plant in the last 20-30 years and it is a defined campus, though perhaps a bit dense.  At ~255 acres, it doesn't cover as much land as say, Indiana University (~1950) for a similar sized student population.  To me, the campus feels more defined than Pitt, but it does have a more urban feel as it is adjacent to a very large medical campus.  More like UPenn feel to me.

I think it's a place a student should visit, if possible, to see if they like the feel.  Its a very busy, vibrant campus with so many students.

Culturally, sports are pretty popular and due to the large alumni base in the city, radiates out into the broader community (along with Xavier U.)

The area around the campus is a bit rough around the edges and there is crime, somewhat depending on which direction you go.  I would say its not as intense as larger cities, but like any city, it is import to be aware of your surroundings, dont walk alone at night, etc.

Students seem to like the school and enjoy their time there, from what I see.  And alum that I know take pride in their school.  Generally, outcomes are very good from the school and Cincinnati has several large companies that call the city home or have a large presence like Procter & Gamble, Kroger, Western and Southern, and GE Aerospace that employ grads
