CLEVELAND

TO CALL CLEVELAND OU R HOME

WE’RE

John Carroll’s location, just 10 miles east of downtown, offers our students the ability to live and study in a safe, suburban neighborhood while having easy access to service, recreational, social, arts, and career-oriented opportunities.

Cleveland is known for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and LeBron

James, but it is so much more than that.

Located in the northeast part of the state, bordering Lake Erie,

Cleveland is Ohio’s second largest city in terms of population.

It was founded in 1796 by Gen. Moses Cleaveland.

The city has seen a revitalization in recent years, with downtown

real estate at capacity, the addition of the Global Center for Health

Innovation and Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, and

the redevelopment of Cleveland’s original settlement, the Flats

East Bank.

Cleveland is a world corporate center for leading national and

multinational companies in industries ranging from healthcare,

transportation, insurance, retail, and utilities, to commercial banking

and finance. In fact, more than 500 businesses and organizations

in Northeast Ohio are led by JCU alumni, creating a unique

networking pipeline for our students.

We’re also well known for our diverse food scene. Cleveland has been

named a “foodie city” by numerous television networks, national

publications, and websites. From the West Side Market - a Cleveland

icon - to restaurants operated by award-winning chefs Michael

Symon and Jonathon Sawyer, you’ll never go hungry in Cleveland.

This brochure will only tell you about some of the things that make

Cleveland “rock.” We hope you’ll take the time to explore our city

and find out more for yourself about the world-class experiences

the area offers.

RTThe Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA), located in University

Circle, is one of the world’s most distinguished, comprehensive art museums. Its recent renovation and expansion was one of the largest cultural projects in Ohio’s history.
