In comparison to Ilmenau - the town where I'm studying - Cincinnati is much greater. Here some figures: Cincinnati has 300000 so called buckeyes(the habitants of Ohio) - Ilmenau hast 30000 habitants. So Cincinnati is 10 times greater than Ilmenau.
For my point of view the buildings are typical american. Downtown Cincinnati you have also scyscrapers and a nice skyline like other big cities in the U.S.
On the one hand the Campus has an very nice architecture, but when you leave the campus and walk some streets towards downtown, you will see some shabby buildings - the other side of a big city like Cincinnati.
The Campus of Cincinnati
is quite bigger than in Ilmenau. Understandable, there are 30000 Students signed up. The architecture of the campus-buildings can be devided in two styles. In the one hand you have the old buildings like McMicken Hall with its "old" - but timeless - architecture and on the other hand you have the Recreation Center with it's modern design. In my personal opinion i like these mixture of these different styles. The complete campus is very ample, there are big green fields where you can chill a litlle bit.
Hi Thommy,
AntwortenLöschenI really like your comments about the university campus at Clifton. I felt the same way about the old and the new buildings when I first arrived here. I hope you are comfortable in your dorm room and that you enjoyed your visit to Blue Ash today.
See you tomorrow,
Jody
