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 4,079 reviews

Other: I attended Owens for 4 semesters as a CCP student and really enjoyed my time there. I gathered 34 college credit hours before graduating high school and will be transferring them to a 4 year public university this fall. 26 of these credits were taken online and 8 were in person. The professors really cared and offered support, encouragement, and advice whenever they could. I loved all of my professors and met some really cool classmates. I highly recommend Cory Hoover for English courses and L. Scott Deaner for Human Geography as a general elective course. They were my favorite professors and I took 2 classes with each of them because the content was so interesting. I learned a lot during my time at Owens and met some great friends. It is definitely a different experience from public universities and there aren't a lot of student activities compared with bigger schools since the student body on campus is relatively small. Overall, I am pleased with my experience at Owens.... Read 439 reviews

Freshman: From the moment I expressed interest with Franklin University, I was immediately welcomed by their admissions and academic department. Franklin University had given me just the amount of courage and persistence I needed to continue to pursue my goal in becoming a psychiatrist. I found Franklin University while I was online researching schools of interest. I wanted an online school that was able to give me an in person experience while still being able to maintain life outside of school. I attended online school before and it wasn't half the experience I have already begun receiving from Franklin U..Once I learned Franklin University was one of the top choices for adults offering the best online Psychology Degree programs, I just knew this was a great option for me. I then became knowledgeable of how affordable, available and successful they are and I was furthermore influenced to choose Franklin University. I am excited to learn from them and encourage others to research them as well!... Read 553 reviews

Freshman: My overall experience at Kent State University at Tuscarawas was very good. The only thing I had trouble with was some of the professors I had that made me struggle more in the academic department. I enjoyed being hands on in Biology Lab with my peers and learning more as the days went by. My favorite part about this campus is how they offer the Vet Tech Program. I am in fact now in the program and cannot wait to take on more hands-on experience. The reason for my struggles with the professors are the reasons being that some were really hard to understand while others were very unorganized. A lot of stress came upon many students including me when these professors were giving us what we needed. For example, I had a professor that did not give us the correct material to have before tests due to him generating the tests on a website. Even though there were some issues during my first year of college at this campus, it was still a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to start back!... Read 150 reviews

Sophomore: I received the Presidential Scholarship for Northwest State Community College, which covered my tuition for my time there, but other than that, this institution is very affordable. My advisors were very helpful in organizing my degree plan for my semesters there and helping me build up to a transfer to complete my bachelor's degree at another institution. The professors, both for my online and in-person classes, were excellent. For the most part, they were always able to provide timely and helpful answers to my questions, and they have flexible office hours for commuters and online students. The environment is so friendly, and there are opportunities to seek support, both with courses and with general life challenges. The writing center is one of the best features of the tutoring center on campus. I felt well-prepared to take the next steps in my education after attending NSCC.... Read 249 reviews

Alum: My experience at Lakeland was like no other. I graduated from high school in 2020. I was planning on heading to Kent State when COVID came into play. I knew that going to Lakeland was a good decision, I just didn’t know how much it would impact me. Being mostly online for the past 2 years I still enjoyed every moment. One major thing that made my experience at Lakeland was having the chance to graduate with my aunt. During COVID she thought to herself and brought it to us, why not go back to school? Nobody had an answer to why she shouldn’t. So back to school she went. We actually had 2 classes together! One in person, one online. 2 years later, her and I were able to graduate together with our associate of arts degree and this is something that I will cherish forever. I couldn’t have done it without her by my side. She is one of my biggest supporters, my inspiration, and so much more. So thankful for such a great experience here at Lakeland, I will definitely miss it.... Read 430 reviews

Freshman: I came to Sinclair to acquire a skill in my "gap year" between high school and reapplying to Hillsdale college. I've enjoyed my times at Sinclair and have learned invaluable skills. It was the perfect, affordable option for this year, but because I chose to go to Sinclair, I haven't been able to save up money for the next year of school I need to pay for. Overall, I've been very impressed with Sinclair and their campus. Happy to start next semester with them!... Read 1,203 reviews

Freshman: I love my experience at Zane State College so far. The staff, faculty, and teachers are all so kind and truly amazing people. Zane State offers so many opportunites for students to get engaged as well. The college has so many valuable resources for the students, and everyone there always has the needs of the student in mind. Im so glad that I chose to attend Zane State. It keeps me close to home, which allows me to spend quality time with my family and friends. If I were to recommend any college to an unsure student, I would 1000% point them in Zane State's direction!... Read 179 reviews

Alum: My time at Cuyahoga Community College was excellent. I highly recommend this college to everyone. It was my first college to attend and figuring everything out about college was overwhelming but everyone there is so nice and welcoming. The counselors there are very knowledge about the different degrees, majors and universities if you plan on transferring. Getting financial aid was a smooth process because the experts will walk you through each form that needs to be completed. I also felt helped with registering for classes, tutoring and navigating blackboard because the resources they have are vast and accessible. Another thing I love about Cuyahoga Community College is the range of available classes they offer. They offer the same class at different time and days so this is perfect for anyone who can only do part time, evenings, weekends online, etc..... Read 1,137 reviews

Senior: I am a returning student at The University of Akron. After earning an associate's degree in 2002, I joined the working world. After many, many years away from school, I decided to return for a bachelor's degree. I reached out to an advisor who was extremely helpful. She worked with me to make sure that all of my prior credit hours were applied to my new degree, and worked with me to create a school schedule that would accommodate my full time work schedule. She has been instrumental each semester to ensure that I stay on track to meet my graduation goals! Taking online classes has been much easier than one would expect. All of the professors and instructors are accessible through email, and will meet in person, or teleconference. Email responses are very quick. Everything has made returning to school so much better than I anticipated.... Read 2,944 reviews

Sophomore: Rhodes State is a great school! The class sizes are small, so the professors really get to know you. The tuition is affordable, and so far my Pell Grants have covered most of it. If you are planning to go to a four year school later, you’ll save a lot of money on Gen Ed courses if you start at Rhodes. Rhodes also offers a lot of great certificate and two year degrees that will get you a well-paying career for half the cost of a four year degree.... Read 242 reviews

Junior: Wright State University (Dayton campus) is an amazing institution. It is located in Fairborn, Ohio, and the closest big city is Dayton, although Columbus and Cincinnati are fairly close too. All of the professors I had during one semester there were amazing (majoring in psychology). The campus is beautiful, especially in the fall, and the school has underground tunnels for when it is cold or raining outside. The dorms are close to the campus, and for people with cars, there is parking available. There are a lot of international students. There are a lot of commuter students too, so the events on campus are not visited that much. However, they are awesome! There is a fitness and wellness program, with a swimming pool, group fitness classes, two gyms, and more. Wright State is one of the cheaper universities too, especially for locals. Overall, I would recommend anyone to at least take a tour.... Read 1,783 reviews

Senior: Malone is a faithfully Christian university with huge strength in the community and faith. It offers courses that will highlight the Christian experiences in many different ways from digging deep into the theology of your faith to expanding your religious horizon. Malone also excels in other areas like its student and faculty body. Though the music department has lost a lot of its students and majors, it is one of the most inspiring and talented sections of Malone. Its choir never disappoints, the band is amazing, and the individual talented artists are mind-blowing. Malone also has an extensive wildlife biology program with its very own petting zoo and aquarium. The animals are taken care of by students and those students are hand-selected by their professors. Another area in which Malone excels - is its student/ professor relations. I have never attended a school where the professors truly loved and cared for both their students and their jobs....

Sophomore: I genuinely love attending AU. Everyone, including the professors, is so welcoming and puts emphasis on you as an individual. The professors want to and try to build genuine connections with their students. This being said, each student is assigned to a faculty advisor in their program after their freshman year, which establishes more personal connections. The class sizes are not so small that you feel uncomfortable, but small enough that you don't feel like a number. I wouldn't trade attending Ashland for the world!... Read 791 reviews

Freshman: North Central State College is a true gem in the world of higher education. From the moment I set foot on its campus, I was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and the dedication of the faculty and staff. The quality of education I received during my time at NCSC exceeded my expectations. The professors at NCSC are not only experts in their fields but also genuinely care about their students' success. They go above and beyond to ensure that you understand the material and are always willing to provide extra help when needed. The variety of courses and programs offered is impressive, catering to a wide range of interests and career goals. The campus itself is well-maintained and offers a comfortable learning environment. The library and other resources are excellent for academic research and study. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a quality education in a supportive and vibrant community.... Read 190 reviews

Freshman: My experience at Clark State has been such a joy. Initially when I started I was only going to get a eight week certificate, however when I got in that classroom setting and seeing all the other students that were my peer and we all had the same goals which was to better ourselves in life I decided to get my bachelor's degree. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my future I just knew I wanted to be out in the world helping people saving lives. And I knew that I wanted to do something that was going to make a difference in other people's lives I decided to take the addiction recovery/mental health course.
