University of Cincinnati Reviews

"University of Cincinnati is a well known place for its business and design colleges. I am majoring in MS-IS, which is Masters in Information Systems. I actually took my bachelor's degree in Information system from the University of Cincinnati. As you can see I have decided to do both of my undergrad and grad school in University of Cincinnati. UC is located in Cincinnati, which has many big companies like P&G and GE. These companies usually comes and visits UC to hire students for internships/Co-Op or full time jobs."

"The university of Cincinnati has all the things that a future student should desire in a big public school. if you want to take classes with 60 other students in large auditorium style classrooms- then the University is for you. If you decide that maybe you want smaller size class rooms so you can maximize learning, the university of Cincinnati also has several surrounding campuses that offer those small class sizes. The professors typically aim to help and most give extra credit. There are stores every where on campus and during the fall time during football season the campus lights up. If your looking for a community college then this school may not be for you, but if you want a step below Ohio State then the advisers at UC can get you started."

"The University of Cincinnati is an excellent school for such a transitional period in someone's life. The campus is centralized, so classes aren't spread out which makes it a convenient place to live. It's in the suburbs of Cincinnati, in a neighborhood called Clifton which is on the upswing. Recently the university has taken a much more intense stance on campus safety, which has helped me and many others who are from out-of-state become more comfortable in a new place. As a student of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences, I have been exposed to opportunities from being an ambassador, a tutor, and tour guide. The degree program is comprehensive, and secular. I have a knowledge of not just strict academia-loaded political science, but through unique courses offered I have met Jerry Springer (former mayor) and delegate candidates and utilized computer statistics in ways I never imagined that were relevant to my degree. Through a broad range of classes, and an even wider outside life, UC has provided me the drive and skills needed to attend graduate school."

"I completed my Masters Degree through their online program, so I have no insight on campus life, etc. However, I enjoyed working with and learning from all of my professors that I encountered through my program. Even though it was online, there was good communication and great learning opportunities. Overall, the University of Cincinnati is a great college."

"Very diverse, unique learning experience. I am so glad that I went to a school like UC."

"Incredible college with caring and interesting professors. Always welcome for office hours and the staff seemed genuine in their helping of students. Campus was always abuzz with some activity or other to keep students engaged and interested in campus life."

"This university has a gorgeous campus with faculty that truly cares. The courses are made to challenge you, while helping you succeed. You cannot beat the quality of education and opportunities you are given. This university allows all the joys of downtown living in a safe environment."

"My program is a very unique program. It allows me to get a one year Graduate Certificate in Jewish Studies. It works very closely with a Rabbinical School across the street, allowing for usage of their research materials and their campus. The program is intensive, being a one year program, but they set you up for success by having access to Faculty, Staff, and Career support."

"UC business is a great college only if you are willing to put time and effort in it, the faculty there is very well networked and knowledgeable."

"UC is a great school that allows you to create the innovations you imagine."

"This college is ideal because of its location near an active and booming city, and its diversity of programs. If you need to do internships or co-ops for graduation, or solely because you have interest, the surrounding city has plenty of opportunities, and many of these businesses have experience taking on interns/co-ops. While the university itself may seem like it isn't a stand-out, it has many nationally-recognized schools and programs, such as the Conservatory of Music and the School of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning--among others. Hands down, the best part of my experience and education at the University of Cincinnati was the co-operative program. U.C. was one of the pioneers of this program, and many universities still don't have such a program in place. Its in-state tuition also can't be beat. Due to its plentiful and reasonable off-campus and on-campus housing, as well its beautiful, expansive campus, U.C. should not be overlooked."

"The online distance learning program is amazing. It is a wonderful option for the nontraditional student. The professors are experts in their area and encourage/facilitate online learning and dialogue. Professors get back to you quickly and are easy to with. It is easy to post and submit assigments through the Blackboard feature on the UC website. Group work is even completed online with other students in your class."

"The Social Work program at UC was poorly run, did not challenge students, and did not adequately teach students to prepare for the job field."

"Come to class prepared, if you have any questions go directly to the professor as soon as possible. Go to the professor's office hour(s), they like to know that you care enough to make an effort to seek help/bounce ideas off of them. Stay on your professor's good side, they can write you recommendation letters and if they remember you as a good student they will write you a recommendation that will help you tremendously. Find a good internship/co-op! Ask your professor's in your major classes where they recommend you go for an internship."

"It's a fun and diverse college experience. You can really pick what you want to get involved in and there are lots of different communities (athletics, honors, Greek life, arts, etc.)"

"Beautiful campus, wonderful school, great experience."

"The academic aspect of the graduate program is wonderful. Faculty are supportive and accessible. Doctoral program and dissertation tailored to students' area of interest."

"The IT degree program I went into was rather light on theoretical knowledge that would help in the long term; it focused mostly on short-term practical skills."

"The music program at UC is great. The level of students is competitive and the faculties are excellent. The facilities are also great. The only thing I don't like is the surrounding environment. Some of the areas around campus are not adorable."

"I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati's Mental Health Counseling program. I felt a major pro of this program was the quality of education, as I feel competent in the profession and well prepared to practice as a mental health counselor. A major con I identified from this program was miscommunication between faculty members and lack of organization. Students often received conflicting answers to questions or no knowledge at all. However, I feel grateful to have graduated from this program and learned a lot of valuable information from the faculty."
