Going to school in a big city is amazing. There is so much to do, so many things to see, and so many new people to encounter. Cincinnati is home for us Xavier students, but what about exploring other cities that are not too far away from campus? Xavier has so many students from so many different places across the country and world. Why not visit some of the cities where some of these students come from? I have for you all six different cities that you could visit for the day, or even for the whole weekend! You can explore downtown, eat at the restaurants that are unique to the city, and if one of your friends is from one of these cities, you could check out their wonderful home! Here are three unique spots to check out in each city! Happy exploring!
