Akron is a hub for a few different professional industries, including health care, manufacturing, and trucking. Firestone used to have a substantial manufacturing plant in town, lending to Akron's long-held nickname, the "Rubber Capital of the World." While rubber manufacturing is no longer the primary industry in Akron, the city is now known for polymer research, thanks to the presence of the University of Akron.
Because of the school, this northeastern Ohio city is a thriving college town. U of A is known for its excellent nursing and engineering programs, law school, and fantastic School of Communication, whose student-run TV station has won multiple Emmy awards. Thanks to popular museums like the Akron Children's Museum and the Akron Art Museum, arts and culture are also prominent in this city.

In addition, the University of Akron has an NCAA Division I football team, men's and women's basketball teams, and many more. Root on the Zips in addition to Cleveland teams.
