Dayton: the city of my college years - GO UD!

by moirholj - last update: May 7, 2007

Dayton: Better than you think!

Star marks the spot: Dayton.
I lived in Dayton for 4 years while attending college at the University of Dayton. I moved out there knowing pretty much nothing about Ohio, and definatley not knowing a soul. Four years later I wouldn't trade that time for anything! Of course those were my college years, so how bad could it have been, right?

The number one question I received from friends and family at home, and even strangers in Dayton was, "What on earth made you pick Dayton, Ohio?"

Well, I don't know, but my answer is now, " It's better than you think!"

Not your typical destination city.

If you've chosen to vacation in the great state of Ohio, I'd be lieing if I told you that you should drop everything and head right to *Dayton* first thing. For a weekend away, I'd probably pick Cincinnati first... or Cleveland. Possibly I'd send you up to Cedar Point if you're into amusement parks. However, if you find yourself in Ohio and you've got time to spare, or, you're visiting someone in the Dayton area, there really are plenty of great things to see and do!

Oh, and if you're a UD student, or you find yourself in the vacinity of UD... There are GREAT times to be had in Dayton. So stick with me, I'll hook you up. :-)
Go Flyers!

Pros:"UD ~ Dayton Art Institute ~ UD ~ Air Force Museum ~ UD"

In A Nutshell:"Not the most happening of Ohio's cities, but still enough to keep you entertained. :-)"

 Think I'm definitely too old for the UD Ghetto, but it sounds great! - certainly sounds like you enjoyed your years there - nice to go back too I'm sure.

 Excellent restaurant tips on our neigbor city. We may be a little too old for the UD Ghetto.
