"One of the best hidden gems for a small, regional campus. Great staff and students!"

"It’s been a great school! The support system is awesome! Super friendly faculty members! A diverse set of classes along with a diverse community. I’ve learned so much going here and can’t wait to learn some more. It has a beautiful landscape and is very well maintained."

"A very nice campus! I had some time this evening so I walked over here from Summit Park (about a 40min walk). It was beautiful and there were paved roads or sidewalks the entire way. UC Blue Ash was very clean with publicly accessible restrooms as well as outside seating. (Note though: There is no public "UC guest" WiFi. At least as of September 2022, the only WiFi networks I could find on campus were all secured. I'm guessing you must have a student ID and password to access the network.)"

"Most of their professors are not very good to work with as a student. The students here have low amounts of respect for each other and admin. They do not offer many classes for students that crave a higher drive and passion in subjects. Would not recommend for any student looking for a well developed higher education."

"I transferred from Cincy State to this college after taking a year off from school due to being frustrated with my experience at Cincy State. My time here at UC Blue Ash was a day and night difference. I had a wonderful experience at this college. The staff was much friendlier and the instructors actually cared about your education. I majored in eMedia Technology and the instructors I had were tough but fair. They took the time out of their day to help you understand what is going on and wanted to help you improve your skills. They will get grades up as quickly as they can so you know where you stand each week. The eMedia Technology program is very hands on which was great for me because I learn better this way. There are some lecture classes in the program, but the majority of them will be hands on. Every week you had a project due. Thankfully these projects were always do the next week so you could have plenty of time to work on the project. You were also critiqued by the instructor and your fellow classmates. In some of the graphic design courses, you have the opportunity to revisit projects that might have needed more work. Professor Sanders, who is the head of the eMedia Technology department, was probably the hardest professor there. He will kick your butt into gear. My advice is not to take his criticisms personally. He's straight to the point. He will be blunt but he is honest with you. He can be a bit intimidating at first. However, you will realize he truly does have your best interest in mind and wants you to succeed. He's not the only one. Every instructor I had wants you to succeed. The buildings are a little old. They have added on to the older buildings and renovated some of the old sections. During my last semester they were putting in a new building on campus. Parking can be a little difficult. There are two moderate sized parking lots in front of Muntz and Walters Hall. They have a larger parking lot behind those two buildings. The parking pass is included in your tuition so you don't have to worry about paying extra for parking. Just make sure you pick up your pass to hang on your rearview mirror or you will get fined. At one point, they didn't make it clear which was student or teacher parking. I ended up making the mistake of parking in the teacher's section on accident and got a $20 fine for the first offense. To dispute the fine, you had to go to in front of a student council. I decided it wasn't worth my time and paid the fine. Since then, they have put up better signs, and changed the color of the parking lines to better indicate what is student and what is teacher parking lot. Apparently it was a bigger issue in the past and they fixed it. The campus is pretty safe. I can't recall anything bad happening on campus. The cafeteria food was alright and a little on the expensive side. There are plenty of vending machines on campus that are reasonably priced. If you go down the street some and turn right at the light there are some fast food joints you can stop by to get some grub. Their Canopy servers are a lot more stable which is great for online classes. I recommend UC Blue Ash. It's a little more expensive but you get what you pay for."
