Columbus is one of the country’s best-kept secrets, but judging by its rapid growth, the secret may be out. It has been ranked as the number one “up and coming tech city” by Forbes Magazine, the number one city for entrepreneurial capacity growth by the State Science and Technical Institute, it is home to the number one zoo in the country, was ranked the number one library system in the country by Library Journals, was named America’s best place to raise kids by Business Week, and is in the “Top Ten Most Liveable Cities” rankings by CNN/Money Magazine.

Further Columbus is a “sports town,” being home to the Memorial PGA Tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus, the Columbus Blue Jackets NHL Hockey Team, the Columbus Crew MLS Soccer Team, the Columbus Clippers Triple A Affiliate baseball team to the Cleveland Indians, and the multi-year Big Ten and National Championship winning teams of The Ohio State University. Huntington Park and Nationwide Arena have been named “best sports venues” as well.

With a vibrant arts and music community, miles and miles of walking, biking and jogging trails, affordable housing, world class shopping and dining, and a modern and accessible international airport (CMH – John Glenn International Airport), Columbus is a special place to learn, grow and live whether just for your school years or for many years to come.
