I will be attending there this fall from WA and I really need opinions of which area and which apt complex are the best to live in.

Anywhere near
2540 Clifton Avenue, Cincinnati, OH
would be great.

If it's within walking distance, it would even be better so I don't have to drive my car across from america.

thanks for your help!

depends on what you are looking for. that is an easy part of cincinnati to live in without a car, so i don't think you'll have any problems there. at the higher end of the budget might be some of the new condos and apartments on calhoun (university park apartments). i always liked riddle road. it will be a longer (15 minute) walk, but there are nice pockets in there with a residential feel. there are also some new apartments on stratford (don't know what those are called). those are also nice. iirc there are some quiet streets southwest of campus, but i wouldn't recommend choosing anything there without getting a feel for the neighborhood first.

i think if you give use your budget and the vibe you are looking for we can be more help

Id definately recommend leaving your car as there are plenty of options in the CLifton area where you could rent and then walk to class easily.

Thanks guys, can you let me know which cross roads you are talking about?

Also is it dangerous to walk around if I walk home at night?

I heard the campus is really unsafe.

I also concerned if there are Bank of Americas, Starbucks, or grocery stores within walking distance?

Any freshdirect or pea-pod type of service in Cincy?
