We think our campus is inspiring, but don't just take our word for it! Continually recognized as one of the Most Beautiful College Campuses (Forbes), Cincinnati is an urban campus with green space to spare. We think you'll agree with the New York Times that the University of Cincinnati has the "most ambitious campus-design program in the country."
The true beauty of the campus extends beyond the built environment to our varied academic settings, cutting edge laboratories, open green spaces, and winding pathways, all of which have been designed to both arouse intellectual curiosity and prompt a healthy social culture. People thrive on our campus because it is a place where they can learn, problem solve, collaborate with one another, or simply have meaningful and memorable college experiences.

It is a city in the midst of an exciting urban revival and a place known for its love of the arts, passion for sports, and its seriously impressive local food.
As the center of culture and commerce for a region of more than two million people, the Queen City is an important hub of the Midwest. It's our source for professional opportunities, celebration, and culture. Our backyard is home to nine Fortune 500 companies and lays claim to one of the most vibrant startup ecosystems in the nation. Inhabitants of Cincinnati experience big-city amenities while enjoying a small-town friendliness and collaborative feel that is characteristic of the Midwest.
The typical University of Cincinnati student is, in fact, not typical at all. That is what makes each and every student on campus so special. Our students push boundaries, challenge ideas, and make a way for themselves on campus and beyond.
The University of Cincinnati is made up of a large community where tens of thousands of students, faculty, and staff come together each day to learn and live with one another. We have more than 44,000 undergraduate and graduate students across multiple campuses and our faculty and staff here empower them to challenge and change the world.
