The University has one of the best
music schools
in the USA and an excellent school of Art,
Architecture, and Planning housed in one of the
strangest university buildings
ever. So, there will probably be a number of enjoyable things to do
and see on the campus if you are in need of a break. Across the
street is a pleasant park called
Burnet Woods
where you can have a nice walk. About four blocks away is the world famous
Cincinnati Zoo.
About 3 Km away is Main Street which hosts most of the interesting
yuppie nightlife (some nice micro-breweries are there as well) and
about 4 Km away is
Mount Adams
which hosts the rest (and has nice views). The
Art Museum
is also about 4 Km away. Two charming parks,
Ault Park and
Eden Park,
are nearby; both are worth a visit if plants make you smile. Near
Ault Park you can find the
University Observatory
which still opens its doors to the general public. Forget about using the
Cincinnati Subway
- although a tunnel was built about 80 years ago, no one ever bothered
to lay the track or buy the rolling stock. There is (inexpensive)
city bus service
to downtown and to the northern suburbs, where most of the upscale
shopping is, but the bus is slow and relatively infrequent.
