Presidents Day Traditionally Marks the Year s Largest Open House at UC

For the fourth year in a row, UC Admissions will be splitting its annual Presidents Day open house into two programs, as crowds of prospective students and their families explore why UC is the “

#HottestCollegeinAmerica

.”

As many as 2,000 visitors are expected on campus that day as check-in gets underway at

8:30 a.m. and at 12:30 p.m., Monday, Feb. 18, at Tangeman University Center (TUC). The formal welcome and program sessions begin at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

UC’s Presidents Day Open House provides an opportunity for future college students to:

• Learn about majors, admissions, financial aid and campus life
• Visit with a representative from the college that most interests them
• Get a tour of campus and visit a residence hall
  

The newest edition of

U.S. News & World Report’s annual college guide

lists the University of Cincinnati among its “Best National Universities,” and continues to cite UC’s emphasis on real-world experience.

The Princeton Review

calls the University of Cincinnati one of the country's best institutions for undergraduate education. UC is featured in the 2013 edition of its annual college guide, "The Best 377 Colleges."  Only about 15 percent of America’s 2,500 four-year colleges and three colleges outside the U.S. are profiled in the book, which is The Princeton Review's flagship college guide.

Reservations are required to attend the event and are open on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations can be made online (www.admissions.uc.edu/visit) or by calling UC Admissions at 513-556-1100.
