More than one of the “most beautiful campuses in the world”

Forbes magazine named UC among the world’s most beautiful college campuses. And our campus isn’t just beautiful. It inspires. It ignites curiosity. It brings us together.

  • A vibrant community life with 500+ student organizations, from academic and professional groups to community activism and cultural groups, and everything in between.
  • With students from 91 countries and all 50 states, you’ll always find someone new to connect with–and you’ll never stop growing your understanding of the world.

Your Life in The Queen City

Students love living in Cincinnati, Ohio. In fact, it’s been named the #1 city in the U.S. for new college grads for four straight years (SmartAsset). With a regional population of 2.2 million people, Cincinnati offers a big-city adventure with plenty of small-town charm.

What makes Cincinnati right for you?

  • This isn’t your average college town. Between our vibrant downtown entertainment, professional sports teams, and our flourishing arts and cultural scene, there is always a new experience waiting for you.
  • Life in the city doesn’t mean saying goodbye to nature–Cincy ranks in the top 10 in the U.S. for best parks. Unwind after class at Smale Riverfront Park, taking in the views of the Ohio River. Then spend your weekend exploring 1,500 acres of nature at Mount Airy Forest or kayaking with friends down the Little Miami River.
  • Ready to get to work? Cincinnati is headquarters to more Fortune 500 companies per capita than NYC or LA–and it’s one of the Midwest’s top incubators for startups. You won’t have to go far for internships, co-ops, or to land that first post-grad job.

For the best college experience, we know what works. Historically top-ranked academics. A spirited, tight-knit community. A place where you will learn and grow.
