The
city of Columbus has a prospering economy and many
recreational pursuits ranging from art museums
and ballet companies to a water park and a zoo.
Ohio's capital
and largest city, Columbus is one of the fastest
growing metropolitan areas in the United
States and has a population of over one million. Columbus
is primarily  a service-industry community, and several
Fortune 500 companies have headquarters here. The city
has a thriving downtown, excellent restaurants, many
extensive shopping centers, a symphony, a ballet company,
theaters, museums, art galleries, an extensive park
system, and a fine zoo. Two rivers and major reservoirs
offer Columbus residents areas for boating, sailing,
canoeing, water skiing, and fishing. If you are married
you will discover that the Columbus economy offers
a range of employment opportunities to your spouse.
The University is the city's largest employer, and
many graduate students' partners find work at the University
or within the State government. Unlike many cities
in the Northeast and Midwest, Columbus has primarily
a white-collar workforce that enjoys a relatively low
unemployment rate.
