University of Cincinnati

About Me

Intro

Most people stereotype me as a middle-of-the-road state school. They aren't wrong, but I'm also a place that does a few things extremely well. My music and criminal justice programs are killer, but my design school (DAAP) is where I really shine. It's one of the top three in the world.

I might not be able to save the world or produce world-renowned intellectuals, but I'll definitely give you an excellent educational experience. Emphasis on "experience." I'm kind of a people pleaser.

If you're a bro, a computer geek, or an exchange student from Korea, I have clubs, classes, and activities just for you. I'm like the rad college equivalent of an IHOP—I've got something for everyone.

I didn't become #HottestCollegeInAmerica from my academics alone. There's more to life than time spent in the library. I'm trying hard to revolutionize the college experience, you know?

Name

The Cincinnati Bearcat, but you can also call us #HottestCollegeInAmerica.

Hometown

Cincinnati, Ohio (who could have guessed that?). Other names include The Queen City, Porkopolis, and "that city where parts of Rain Man were filmed."

Birthdate

1819

Body Type

About 45,000, but half of my students drive back to their parents' house at the end of the day. Yeah, I'm a "commuter school," but that's just because I like to be accommodating. I even have a few satellite campuses for those that live a little too far outside the city. Oh, and BTW, I'm hot—Forbes ranked me one of the most beautiful campuses in America for my combination of old and new architecture.

Current Living Situation

Cincinnati isn't a big city. A lot of students drive to school and leave after classes. For those that do stay, there are dorms of all sizes, school-sponsored apartments, and plenty of only slightly sketchy-looking off-campus housing.

Relationship Status

Did I mention I'm #HottestCollegeInAmerica? Good. I'm pretty self-absorbed. Xavier might be physically close, but we rarely communicate unless it's yelling. Ohio State University likes to hang around near me, but she's way too egotistical for my taste. It's best to think of me as a one-college wolf pack.

Politics

Even though Cincinnati proper is fiercely politically divided, I'm pretty open to all political beliefs. So long as they reside in my often-criticized "free speech zone," of course. There are tons of political groups represented on campus, from the Socialist Campus Anti-War Network, Bearcat Libertarians, and College Republicans to the UC Democrats. If you have a political opinion, chances are, someone else here shares that same opinion.

You should apply to me if...

you're interested in the design, music, criminal justice, or law fields, but don't want to pay the heavy price tag from some of those name-brand state schools. Or, you're an average student who lives by the motto, "Cs get degrees."
