Why Clifton Is A Great College Town

The city of Clifton is a neighborhood of Cincinnati with many great things for UC students to do besides study. Whether you like to go out to eat or party downtown, the city of Clifton is a great place for students to live.

1. The Food

For those of you who don't know me, I love eating out. Clifton is home to dozens of restaurants that everyone will love. If for some reason you are unable to find something that tickles your fancy, check out Over-the-Rhine or Finley Market.

2. Housing

While freshman are not required to live on campus, many do however because it gives them a chance to meet more people and make friends. If you aren't one of the lucky students who is able to live in the new dorms then you probably will not want to return to UC's dorms for your sophomore year. Fortunately, there are a number of spectacular off campus apartments and houses in Clifton that are only a five to ten minute walk to campus.

3. Stores


Clifton is also home to a number of great stores not far from campus. Stores like Walgreen's, Gamestop and DuBois. Kroger and Target will be joining the mix in Fall 2017. There is even an Amazon drop-off location that many UC students use every day.

4. Bar Life

For those of you of legal age, Clifton is home to a number of popular bars that UC students can't get enough of.

5. Parks

Just because you are in the city, doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a little peace and quite. Places like Burnet Woods, Eden Park, and Bellevue Park give you an excellent place to relax when the weather is just right.

6. Downtown Cincinnati


If you can't find something you like in Clifton, take a ten minute Uber ride downtown for a whole new experience. There's the Cincinnati Zoo, Art Museum, Bengals/Reds games and of course many more places to eat.

Overall, Clifton is a great college town with more and more attractions being added every year. I am happy to call it my home.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
