• My university had mostly 4 campuses: the med campus, the main campus, the blue ash campus and the digital futures/1819 campus all pretty nearby
• Main campus and the med campus had libraries and gyms.
• There are various student orgs that organise various festival events. you need to reserve the facilities and then hold the event.
• Extracurricular activities depend on you. all are available; you need to chose what you want to do and join that club

• I stayed off-campus, as they were very affordable compared to campus. Also the grad students prefer to live off campus, as it is more peaceful. The university may help you to find housing. Also, there would be shuttles running around the campus so there will not be any difficulty in transportation to/from your house.
• Rent was about 650 to 700. some places had the wifi and electricity included and some did not.
• The challenge was knowing the location. unless you go and see the place, it is difficult. so better is to get a temporary accommodation and then shift to a permanent one.
• My house was 15 min walking and 10 min by the shuttle

• My College has 3-4 campuses here in Cincinnati. One is in Clermont, other one is in blueAsh and other is in west Cincinnati.
• All the campuses provide a library and very big sports stadium like Basketball indoor stadium where inter-university matches are played.
• They have medical services covered through University health services.
• They have popular and regular events for international students. Sports are very regularly held at our very famous Nippert Stadium. 

• I opted for an accommodation outside the camps. I felt the campus dorms are comparatively costly compared to the off campus dorms. The off campus accommodation is quite cheap if you take a flat with 4 or 5 of your friends.
• I have a taken a flat with 5 of my friends which costs me around 360 USD per month for my rent. My monthly expenses for my accommodation would be around 400 USD per month. 

• There are many campuses. The list and locations are available on the internet and UC website.
• All facilities are available. Library, Hospital, Soccer stadium, Football stadium, Tennis courts, indoor/outdoor basketball arenas.
• More than 100 campus festivals happen, 867 student clubs.
• Indian student association, alongside numerous other student orgs exist and are active on campus. There is an event every week.

• I used online facebook groups to find off-campus housing.
• The monthly rent is around $800, it is quite expensive and you need to start looking early to get good options near campus.
• I live a 10 min walk from campus which is considered very close. Most Indian students stay nearby on Ludlow Ave. There is also the indian store nearby (<5 min walking distance)

• Teaching assistant, research assistant, departmental assistant, jobs in libraries, food service and administrative offices—these are some of the available part-time jobs on campus. An estimate of 10-15% of students get selected for the above-mentioned position. These positions offer a salary of $12-$20 per hour.
• A few other on-campus job options are food service, residence halls, IT support, etc. These jobs pay less compared to TA/RA or DA; the pay is approx. $10-$15 per hour.
• Students can work up to 20 hours per week during the semester and 40 hours per week during breaks.
• There is a very tough competition for on-campus jobs like TA/RA/DA, library assistant, IT support, etc. Students earn between $10 and $20 on a per-hour basis.
• The demand for on-campus jobs is high since they offer flexible schedules and convenience.
• In order to secure an on-campus job, it is suggested to get help from seniors, apply through an online portal, i.e., Handshake and get a recommendation from faculties.
• Non-academic on-campus jobs are relatively easy to get and their wage varies on factors like skill, age and experience.

• There are lots of apps to find accommodation; apps that helped me are Zillow, Apartment Finder, and Craigslist. You can also join student-specific groups on Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram. I connected directly with the landlords; it helped me save the brokerage cost to the agent.
• My rent was around $300 per month for a shared apartment with basic facilities and Wi-Fi at an additional cost. If you are looking for a one-bedroom apartment, then the rent may range from $600-$900. Some apartments offered amenities like a gym, laundry, and parking. It can be difficult to find accommodation due to various reasons, some of which are high competition, long lease terms, language barriers with the landlord and many rental scams. To avoid such issues, I recommend starting with your house hunt before arriving here. Use student groups for genuine leads and talk to the landlord before making payment.
• My apartment was about 15-20 minutes from the university by public transport. Many Indian students prefer areas like Clifton and Corryville, which are close to campus, or Oakley and Mount Adams, which are slightly farther but more affordable. These areas are well-connected by buses and have grocery stores, restaurants, and shops catering to international students.

• There are lots of events and fests that happen round the year. For Indian festivals there is Diwali, Garba, Holi etc. and fun fundraising events that serve exotic Indian dishes like pani puri, samosa, chai, etc.
• There are also organizations like PAC that host fun events for students like roller skating, tye-dye t-shirt making, valentine card making etc. There really is something that interests all of us.
• There are a lot of clubs, both academic and sports, for eg, ECON club, SWIM and DIVE club etc. There are also a bunch of extracurricular activities like movie nights, interactive sessions, game nights, where you can meet and bond with new people.

• For my 1st year I did on-campus accommodation. It was pretty decent. I was in the Calhoun hall, which doesn’t have very big rooms and a kitchen but since I had a meal plan it worked out.
• There residence halls with much bigger rooms and kitchen. It really depends on what you opt for. Since my second year onwards, I switched to off- campus housing because it is much cheaper.
• I found a house at a 15 mins walk distance from campus and live there with 2 other friends of mine.

• The University of Cincinnati has one main campus in Cincinnati, Ohio. It offers great facilities like a well-equipped library, sports centres, and medical services.
• Popular events include cultural fests and career fairs. There are active clubs like AFFIRM, where I’m a treasurer, and sports are a big part of campus life. Extracurriculars range from adventure trips to volunteering and student organisations promoting community engagement.

• On-campus housing is amazing at UC. Just the website provided by UC was enough for me. I also selected a person that I already knew so living here was easy. Rent for my on-campus housing was $1200 a month, which was an apartment. That is the maximum you could be paying. No security challenges were faced by me and the RAs were helpful too.
• This being an urban university, everything was near and accessible.

• I can see there are 3 campuses for my university; one is for engineering, LAw, and biomedical. These are very close to each other. There are many festivals conducted for each Indian festival, like Diwali, Garbha, and more. There are some clubs called SASA for Indian festivals. They are more jovial with people to attend every event.

• I usually say job opportunities depend on what knowledge you have and what level of skills you have. But besides that, you will get more opportunities through this college by applying in Handshake. Most of the average salary would be 80k per annum. The highest salary I can't predict purely depends on skills and knowledge.

• There are so many events going on in the university and there are many Indian events hosted by the Indian clubs and you get free food on campus from the events. There are all the facilities you can think of like a library, gym, recreation centre, medical centre etc. The famous events on my campus are UC Dhadak, Movie Night and many Diwali events.

• I am not aware of the full-time job opportunities after graduation. But according to Google on average, I think it’s about $60,000 - $65,000 per annum. We have the career fair where many companies come and students can interact with the recruiters.

• The University of Cincinnati has one main campus in Clifton (Uptown Campus) and two regional campuses: Blue Ash and Clermont, both located nearby.
• Campus Facilities:
• * The Walter C. Langsam Library is a great place for studying, with tons of resources and
• quiet spaces.
• * The campus has awesome sports facilities, including gyms, basketball courts, and even
• a pool.
• * Medical services are available through University Health Services (UHS), which offers
• general healthcare, counseling, and wellness support.

• I opted for off-campus accommodation.
• I found my accommodation through friends and by joining Telegram and WhatsApp groups for student housing.
• The monthly rent was around $400–$800, which included basic facilities like furniture, internet, and utilities.
• One challenge was finding a place within budget that was close to campus and had good safety measures.
• My recommendation for future students is to start searching early, join student housing groups, and visit the property in person or virtually before finalising.
• My accommodation is about 10 minutes from campus by public transport and 15 minutes by walk. Most Indian students tend to stay in areas like Clifton, Heights, or nearby neighbourhoods that are close to the university.

The campus life is really good , you will have many free spaces, parks to walk around the university, you also have 5 libraries, where you have multiple books and computers for doing the lab work. You will like to see a wellness centre too.

So basically you can plan for the sharing accommodation or the single accommodation. I live outside the university with sharing and it costs me around 350-400$ per month.
