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. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) showcases national and international work along with pieces created by emerging artists from the Cleveland area that push the boundaries of innovation, creativity, and expression.
