It’s All UC

Transcript

Okay, now let’s join. A’jiana, a criminal justice major, for a closer look at Cincinnati’s one of a kind award-winning campus. The New York Times called it, the most ambitious campus design program in the country. And it’s no wonder, this pedestrian friendly beauty surprises at every turn, mixing classical architecture, with modern style. Tell us more A’jiana.

– Thanks, Alex. The uptown campus of the University of Cincinnati, is home to about 47,000 students. And is full of well-known traditions, photo ops spots, and hidden gems. Listed among the world’s most beautiful campuses. UC’s beauty can be seen not only through its striking architecture and landscaping, but also their student life. So, let’s start with location. Campus is roughly 253 acres. And just two miles from Cincinnati’s vibrant downtown. One of my personal favorite spaces on campus is Sigma Sigma Commons, which also happens to be the largest green space. Here we host our annual Red and Black Bash, which is a concert that’s free and open to all UC students, the Sigma Sigma Carnival, and hammocking areas for a nice breezy day. Just up main street is Nippert Stadium, home to the best student section in the nation. And when there’s no varsity games or practices going on, students are free to use the stadium. Whether that be throwing a frisbee, running the stairs, or just cutting through to get to class. UC is also home to great artistic performance too. Cincinnati’s top ranked college Conservatory of Music, offers more than a thousand musical and theatrical performances each year, the most in Ohio. And many are free to UC students. Just across Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, is UC’s east campus. Home to its four healthcare colleges. Pharmacy, nursing, medicine and allied health. East campus is also home to UC’s clinical affiliates, UC Health, and Cincinnati Children’s Medical Hospital. Cincinnati Children’s is ranked among the top five in the nation. And UC Health provides the regions only level one trauma center. And just down the road from UC’s east campus, you’ll find Cincinnati’s 1819 Innovation Hub, and it’s soon to be completed Digital Futures building, both a part of Cincinnati’s growing innovation district. Already one of the best cities in the Midwest for startups, Cincinnati is becoming recognized for its unique partnerships between industry and university, and as a destination for top talent. But more than anything, campus spirit and UC’s sense of community are what made me a diehard Bearcat. I chose UC, because it’s a global leader in experience-based learning. It offers a top tier education, and numerous opportunities post-graduation. And it’s provided me with a true home away from home. UC ensures that it has a space for everyone to be unapologetically themselves. Well, that’s my story back to you, Alex.

– Thank you A’jiana. While it’s true there’s nothing like actually being here, A’jiana’s given us a great snapshot of Cincinnati, the campus. We’re so glad you found your home here, take care.
