CIA is located in University Circle which is the cultural center of Cleveland. The Cleveland Museum of Art is a two minute walk from CIA. University Circle includes several museums, Severance Hall, the home of the world renowned Cleveland Orchestra, Cleveland Institute of Music and Case Western Reserve University, which has about 4000 undergrads and 6000+ graduate and professional students (law, medicine, social service, business, nursing). University Hospitals (associated with CWRU med school) is in University Circle and the world famous Cleveland Clinic is located just west of University Circle. So you have an area that caters to many students, physicians in training, and professionals. Many people consider this area to be the best in the city of Cleveland.

CIA has produced many successful graduates who have made significant contributions. Here is a link to a company formed by CIA graduates who bought a historic landmark overlooking University Circle and remodeled it for their offices. [Nottingham•Spirk Design Associates – Innovation Center Historic Landmark](http://www.ns-design.com/landmark.html) The building was a prototype for Severance Hall.

I have been to Kansas City and Memphis many times on business but I do not know where KCAI and MCA are located. However, neither city has a cultural concentration similar to University Circle. Both will be more humid during the summer, which may not be an issue if you live in a humid region of Colombia. Cleveland’s winter will be colder, but all three mid-continent cities are subject to arctic blasts coming out of Canada, sending temperatures well below freezing.

Good luck!
