Cleveland: great for singles, porch parties
Admittedly this is old news since the ratings came out last July; however, it bears repeating. I interviewed prospective students for the master’s program in organizational leadership at Cleveland State University, where I am a faculty member. I was impressed with all four candidates we interviewed. They were well prepared and had researched the program before coming to us. That’s always a good sign.
One in particular had spent the past year visiting cities and universities for “fit.” She told us that in her research she had run across the news that Cleveland was ranked 14th Best City for Singles by Forbes.com. It was one of the reasons she had chosen our program. She also liked Cleveland for its friendliness and livability compared with Cincinnati or NYC, where she had grown up. She was moving from Puerto Rico—committing to our city, having faith that she would be accepted into the program, because of what she had found here in Northeast Ohio.
