I don't really understand the big deal about this because for the most part Cleveland's already wireless. Anyone with a half-decent wireless card can pick up non-private wireless networks. I get into Case's all the time.

Number three is the only one that's not completely fug :\

I guess it's all a matter of opinion. Downtown's not exactly some huge sprawling area, so the Avenue District would be less than a 10 minute walk to the WHD. I could understand what you're saying if this were a place the size of the entire city of Cleveland, but it's not. Plus this whole "untested area" notion is kind of silly to me because E. 12th is pretty heavily populated already.

Skid row? Seriously? You consider the Galleria, the Chesterfield, Erieview Tower, One Cleveland Center and the surrounding areas to be skid row? I actually think these are some of the most densely urban and beautiful parts of the city. E.12th at Euclid and at Chester is great, and it might get somewhat more sketchy as you get closer to Lakeside, but it certainly NOT downtown's skid row. Actually, if I were to develop in downtown it would definitely be in this section of the city. It's already got quite a bit of residential buildings and corresponding stores as you go south on E.12th. The Avenue District has me much more excited than Pesht or the new East Bank of the Flats, personally.

Does anyone have any population numbers for the dowtowns of the 3 C's?

Kent's Halloween is actually supposed to be bigger than OU's, so I don't know about your theory ;)

Kent State is one of the only schools I thought would be a contender against OU.

Of course. Because Miami = :drunk::drunk::drunk:

Wait, are people seriously disputing what the biggest party school in the state is? Honestly?

Does anyone have any numbers for downtown's population trends? I know the city as a whole is losing a lot but I'm interested how the the heart of Cleveland is doing because I know that growth will probably start there and work its way out.

That is the Miami attitude that I can't stand. They try everything to make it seem like they're such an exclusive, expensive old school. If the kids who buy into that image are really that smart and really that rich and really that elitist, why are they going to an in-state public university Ivy League knock-off? Go to the real thing.

lol, this project is so bizarre (and I hope it fails too!).

Ugh, they've been cracking down lately. They're actually thinking about switching to semesters so we can have a 4-day fall break during Halloween to eliminate much of the partying.

As long as we're getting unrealistic, do that, raise tuition a few thousand, make residency manditory for 2 years, lower acceptance rates, change it to University of Cleveland and you've got yourself the perfect school ;)

Exactly why I'm leaving OU. Living on top of the WV border is not my idea of fun.

I like Case ;)

Maybe OU's top 5 journalism program? Actually, the entire Scripps College of Communications is top-notch and is one of the state's most prestigious large academic programs (I'm sure there are smaller programs that are higher ranked but they're not on the same level). Exactly. OU may be a worse school overall, but their big programs are so high-ranking that they are able to raise the schools into the top tier, which certainly is not the case with Miami. I can't name a single top 5 major program there.

OU has been slipping quite a bit recently. OU was ranked in the low 90's when I applied (2004), the high 90's my freshman year (2005) and now it's gone all the way to 110. I'm leaving OU (and Scripps, one of the best journalism schools in the country) because the rest of the school is so bad and getting worse. OU's standout programs are still better than Miami's best.

RUDE! I forgot, Bowling Green and Akron pretty much are the universal centers of culture.

Wouldn't you have more fun at OU, the 2nd biggest party school in the nation? ;) I don't debate that you can get a good education at an Ohio school, but I just am always surprised that we don't have higher ranking universities. It seems if you really want a top-notch education you have to go out of state (unless it's a specific program that draws a lot of out-of-staters like Scripps at OU or Case's engineering program).

I've never been too impressed by any of Ohio's schools, but Case still seems like the best. The majority of Ohio's universities had third or fourth tier ranking, so I'm impressed Case got as far as it did.

From the Ohio News Network: Not a shocker but having the #1 college in a state with a huge amount of schools is pretty big feat!

Ugh, why is Columbia Station NOT on their list of towns?

LOL no. Might I just say how happy I was to see which C-Town this was ^_^
