Freshman: I am currently enrolled in gateway community and technical college for an online computer programming course. Overall I love the convenience and affordability this school provides along with a variety of other helpful resources such as work ready programs, counseling for those struggling (let's be honest most have more than school droning on your every day life and a release of this tension could be all it takes to make or break someone's determination to finish their course), daycare, and plenty others. I recommend this program to anyone looking to further their education!... Read 174 reviews

Graduate Student: As a current graduate of the University of Cincinnati, I am ecstatic to share my overwhelmingly positive experience! The university's commitment to academic excellence and supportive faculty truly stood out during my time there. The diverse and vibrant campus community fostered a welcoming environment, encouraging collaboration and cultural enrichment. Cutting-edge research opportunities and state-of-the-art facilities further enriched my learning journey. UC's emphasis on practical skills and real-world applications prepared me for a successful career ahead. I am forever grateful for the lifelong friendships and professional networks I developed. Without a doubt, the University of Cincinnati is an exceptional institution that has empowered me to achieve my dreams!... Read 4,082 reviews

Sophomore: I couldn't wait to share my experience with everyone! I was amazed by the excellent communication and thoughtful attention to every last detail from beginning to end. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel appreciated as a student and welcomed. With calming music playing in the background and a tastefully designed room, the ambiance was welcoming. My expectations were significantly exceeded by the quality of the goods or services provided; it was obvious that only the best components were put to use. The addition of additional diversity to their goods is the one item, though, that I would most like to see changed. Don't get me wrong, they offer excellent service as it is, but I think adding more items to their repertoire could appeal to a larger audience.... Read 1,949 reviews

Freshman: Hi, I’m Mi’Kela and I’m an upcoming college freshmen. During my orientation, it was informative and diversified. My orientation was informative because of the strong leaders, support of the students, and discussion. We all came together to discuss the next steps into college with playing games to get to know each other, asking important questions and touring around campus. The strong faces of UC showed me why I wanted to attend there. The leaders were passionate, caring, supportive, attentive and more people should be like them. They showed me why being a UC student was, someone strong, compassionate, on time, dedicated and more. The only I would change is it’s a two year college instead of four and I wish I could stay at the wonderful UC. Thank you for this opportunity.... Read 420 reviews

Other: I am CCP student at Miami University and so far my experience has been nothing short of incredible. While Miami University-Hamilton has a smaller community than most colleges, it has one if the strongest. The staff at Miami University-Hamilton are always there to help. My experience at Miami University-Hamilton is not rare. my mother, sister and extended family have all had the same kind of experience at Miami University-Hamilton. One things I would like to see change is the allowance of student to use things like skateboards, bikes, roller blades as an alternate form of transportation around campus. Overall I have had a very pleasant experience thus far!... Read 268 reviews

Other: Clermont College is a great option for anyone looking to take basic college classes. The class sizes are small and the professors know their students by name. Because of the small size of the school, most students study and hang out in the same areas and become familiar with each other. All the students and friendly and the professors really care about each of their students. The cafeteria food isn't great, but that's not a big deal since all the students commute. All the classes at Clermont College use the same technology that the rest of the University of Cincinnati uses, so the college's learning management system is high quality and easy to use. The biggest downsides to Clermont College include the lack of extracurricular activities, the lack of specialized classes and degree programs, and the lack of prestige and course rigor....

Sophomore: I have attended MUM for 3 semesters and they have been highly enjoyable! The classes are lead by very capable and knowledgable professors who are willing to lend aid wherever possible. The student body is a very complacent and nice group of individuals, a good portion of which come from Asia as transfer students. The campus is situated in a place surrounded by forest (not deep or thick forest) whith interweaving trails. The English Learning Center faculty holds various events throughout semesters that are very fun and relaxing, such as a meditation room during finals week or holding an Asian culture day. MUM is a wonderful school and location and I would recommend it to anybody and everybody!... Read 143 reviews
