 Every now-and-then, it's nice to get out of the environment, and Clncinnait hos many things to see and do outside of the Clifton area. Many Cincinnatians are of German descent, and ev- ery fall Octoberfest celebrates our city's heritage. The beer and schnitzel flow freely, and thousands turn out each year for this event.

Many of the sorority houses even have cleaning help, so all you have to do is keep your own room straight. The only drawback is that there ore usually more people than places, and that leaves Clifton Apartments College housing is always a unique experience, especially since it is probably the first time away from home for many freshman. For this reason, out-of-state freshman are requried to live in dorms. Many complain of roommate problems, but more often than not, they are able to work things out, and many end up being best of friends. The dorms really are a fun place to be. You're away from home, yet there are no worries such as getting the phone, and most importantly, the gas and electricity bills paid on time. So while you have freedom, there aren't many problems to go with it. Of course the food ...
