Okay, now it’s time to meet Carlo. A double major in economics and finance. Carlo is going to dig a little deeper into all those extras that together, make up the Cincinnati experience. Things like this amazing view from Morgens Hall. Carlo, you are on.

– Hey everybody, I just finished up my first year at UC as an economics and finance double major. I was at first hesitant to go to a school in my hometown because I always wanted to experience places across the country. With UC being in my own backyard, it didn’t seem like this was the place for me to do that. But then I started learning more about UC’s incredible co-op program. I realized that I could have a number of co-op opportunities out of state because UC is so focused on experience-based learning. After learning about UC’s focus on co-op and real-world learning. I realized that this was the right place for me. UC has so many people friendly places to gather and study. In addition to the Lindner College of Business, which was my go-to grind spot because of the sick couch desk that they have. There’s Langsam Library, Tangeman University Center, several coffee shops right on campus, and so many other great places to hang out with friends. Last year, I lived in Morgens Hall, in a learning community on the fourth floor. This was perfect because everybody else on my floor was in the honors program with me. So we could easily gather to study and work on projects. I also lucked out because my roommates were some of the coolest guys that I’ve met in my entire life. So if you don’t even have a roommate lined up for this school year, I would say, don’t worry about it. Because sometimes being assigned a roommate, can lead to the best friendships of your life. If you’re looking for a late night burger or Mac and Cheese, Center Court is the place to go. Or if you just got out of a tough workout at the campus rec center, you’re going to want to head over to On the Green, because they will hook you up with some of the healthiest foods. Speaking of the rec center, did I mention that ours has been ranked number one in the nation? 212,000 square feet. That includes fitness equipment, a suspended running track, swimming pools, courts, workout classrooms, and a climbing wall. In high school, everybody is always looking forward to the summer. I know that UC is right for me because it’s summer right now, and I already can’t wait to get back on campus. Overall, I’ve had an amazing time at UC and I’ve been able to learn so much. I even landed a full-time internship with the help of the honors program. Now, I’m looking forward to finishing up my summer internship, and getting right back here on campus. What’s next Alex.

– Best of luck with your internship Carlo. You’ll be back on campus before you know it, and with so many great places to study, eat and hang out, it’s no wonder you can’t wait. As they say, we’ll see you around the quad. Cheers Carlo.
