For a different kind of outdoor diversion, there's Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in nearby Aurora and Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky. And then there are the riches of University Circle . Many of these institutions offer free or discounted admission for students. The School of Medicine is situated on the southeastern side of the CWRU campus, with University Circle institutions on one side and the city's historic Murray Hill, or Little Italy, neighborhood on the other. The streets of Murray Hill are lined with a unique mix of residences, art galleries, bakeries and restaurants that offer everything from pizza to five-star gourmet meals.
Many medical students choose to live in the Murray Hill area.
Another popular area for student living and fun is the adjacent city of Cleveland Heights , with its abundance of apartments, condominiums and large homes with rooms for rent, as well as its Coventry Village area, an eclectic mix of boutiques, bookstores, restaurants and coffee houses. Both areas are within walking distance of the school. Cleveland has a public transportation system, and the campus is well-positioned for students to take advantage of it, but many students find it helpful to have access to an automobile for their clinical experiences.
