Shopping

“The closest shopping mall is the Galleria in Richmond Heights, about a 20-minute drive from campus, and block from a MetroLink stop. The Galleria is your typical mall, including department stores like Macy’s and Nordstrom, as well as standard places like Apple, Gap, H&M, Lenscrafters, and North Face. In short, you can find a myriad of products here! If you need to buy winter clothes, computers, professional dress, or kitchen appliances, this mall is more than sufficient.”
