Neighborhood Spotlight-Clintonville


Neighborhood Spotlight-Clintonville

Nestled between the Ohio State University and Worthington, this large neighborhood is home to many attractions, eateries, and local goodies for all ages. 

In the warmer months, enjoy the Park of Roses, a garden featuring more than 11,000 rose bushes and specialized gardens, or the Farmer’s Market, where you can procure locally sourced produce. 

Looking for something year round?  Head on over to Wild Goose Creative or Studio 35 to explore your creative side and create some one of a kind pieces in the process. 

Hungry?  Food choices here veer towards farm to table.  From Acre, a quick, but healthy eatery, or the Crest Gastropub, a neighborhood staple, there is something for everyone.  From vegan eats, to premium barbeque at ray rays, Clintonville boasts food for all palates!

Looking to move?  Clintonville is just minutes away from many Columbus neighborhoods including the Short North Arts District, the University District, and the ever popular suburb of Worthington, and provides some affordable housing options for those who want to be close to the city, without the costs of city living!

1L Study Hacks

Studying can seem like blatant staring at a notebook for hours without retaining any valuable information. Here are some study hacks to help improve your memory:

  • Use scents or gum to jog your memory. Spraying an unfamiliar scent while you're studying is one the methods that can help job your memory when you spray it again before an exam. Also, chewing a strange kind of gum will work the same way; chew the gum while studying and then break out a piece of that same gum during an exam!
  • Listen to the correct type of music. The correct types of music can lead to more productive studying by elevating your mood. Classical music is peaceful and harmonious, making it one of the best options to listen to when studying. Ever heard of the Mozart effect? His music improves mental performance, try it!
  • Take regular study breaks. When your brain is working, you need to take regular study breaks to help your brain absorb more information. Taking a short break after about 45-50 minutes of study is ideal. Your focus and concentration usually become impaired after this
    time, so anything after 1 hour and 30 minutes gets absorbed.
  • Times New Roman is KING. There is a reason why Times New Roman is the default font on most application. It is the fastest font to read! 
  • Teach what you've learned. One of the best ways to test if you really understand a topic is to try to teach it to someone else. Try to go into explanation in lay terms for people not in law school who may not understand legalese. If you can't get anyone to listen, teach it to a class of stuffed animals!
