The Bearcat experience is woven into the city of Cincinnati. Many UC students work, live, and engage in the neighborhoods surrounding our campus. In the true Bearcat spirit, our community matters to us. We're good neighbors—taking the following steps to create a positive living environment for ourselves and those next door.
1. Get to know your neighbors: introduce yourself! Check-in with your neighbors when you see them. It would also be helpful to exchange contact information so you can reach out to each other when needed.
2. Lower the volume: Let your neighbors know if you are planning a party. Encourage them to reach out if it gets too loud or disruptive.
3. Clean up: Keep your yard free of litter. Take your trash out on collection day and bring up the empty bin as soon as you can. This keeps the sidewalks clear, safe, and sanitary. Items that don't fit in your trash bin should be scheduled for bulk pick-up through Cincinnati's free trash collection app: 311 Cincy.
4. Help your neighbors: Build positive relationships with neighbors by lending a hand. Offer to help with shoveling snow, yard work, and other things when they seem applicable!
5. Know the expectations: Review the Student Code of Conduct to better understand how off-campus violations can impact your student status. Also, become familiar with city ordinances to ensure you do not receive fines or violate the law.
