CSU is a ‘best buy’ university

Cleveland State University is the best buy among Michigan public universities for six out of 10 characteristics, according to the U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges in the Midwest list. The publication’s eighth annual ranking evaluated more than 500 schools in six areas: academic excellence, faculty resources, financial resources, alumni giving, student selectivity, peer reputation and graduation rates.

The Best Colleges in the Midwest includes colleges and universities that enroll students in grades 11-12 in the Northeast and Midwest, including West Michigan. Among all Midwest colleges and universities, CSU was one of just five that received a perfect score of 10, while six of 10 scored at 7 or 8. No other school in the region received such high scores in all six areas.

CSU’s convenient location

What is a college that is located across the state of Ohio from you, but allows you to transfer credits to the University of Akron, Miami University, and Ohio University?

Imagine, an institution of higher learning that gives you the opportunity to be at a truly convenient location.

With this in mind, Cleveland State University is the destination of choice for many high school seniors who are looking to earn college credits and transfer to four-year universities. CSU was ranked number seven on the “National Best College Buys” list in 2018 and again in 2019.

The incredible cultural experience

Many urban universities fail to capture the educational experience that downtown campuses offer. At CSU, you can take advantage of having classes and friends around every corner.

CSU has the best professors in the country!

by Cristina John

It’s pretty easy to be impressed with Cleveland State University. If you attended CSU and then went on to get a PhD, then you know what I’m talking about.

But I’ve never met someone who didn’t like CSU. I’ve heard students, faculty and even people who have taken classes before (sometimes even twice!) come out and say that they loved CSU.

I feel lucky because I went to CSU, so it’s easy for me to promote my alma mater. But I want to reach out to everyone in the community because CSU is so much more than your local college.

Below are 10 great reasons why you should attend Cleveland State University:

CSU has the most affordable housing in Cleveland

Having had a privileged childhood, lived in a nice area and gone to an elite, expensive private high school, I have always been aware of how privileged I am.

I have also had a curiosity about what it was like to grow up in public housing and I am one of the fortunate people that has lived in many homes which were almost like the homes we have in the gated communities and where the doors lock behind you.

But, when I took the plunge a few years ago and applied to pursue an education in Social Work, I was surprised by the homes I found on Cleveland State University’s campus. They were brand new, and the rooms were very neat and clean. There was a minibar in every room.

Best Colleges in Ohio – And Why They’re Worth

There are a ton of great colleges in the Columbus area. Of course, everyone knows that Central Ohio has some great schools, but a little research will show you that there are many more schools in the region that are also very good – at least according to rankings, statistics, and data.

What Makes a College Worth the Cost

Is it the exclusive exclusive arts college? Or the all-sports school? Maybe it’s the one with the coolest mascot.

People say these schools are worth the cost — both in college and beyond. But is there a specific school that proves to be a “perfect college” every student dreams of going to? Is there a best college in Ohio for everyone, or do the best in the state serve a select demographic?

We surveyed The Ohio State University, Miami University, and the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to find out what makes each school unique, and how their different amenities affect their respective student bodies.
