Ohio State University-Main Campus Top Questions

My classmates are diverse, interesting, and all have the desire to learn and become successful in their adult lives.

Students at Ohio State are like chili brewing in a pot- an array of very different indgredients coming together to produce one fabulous outcome.

As I have said before, OSU maintains a wide and diverse demographic, and doesn't short-change any one group. While there may be a plethora of white students, it is not particularly different from the racial makeup of the United States as a whole. Politically Ohio State is very divided, though also very active.

They're nice to talk to, but many of them already have a circle of friends here from high school, so it can be hard for an introverted student from out-of-state like me to make friends.

My classmates have brought unique perspectives to class that benefit my own learning experience.

In one word: diversity; In one sentence: Our classmates come from all walks of life with the determination to reach their goals and make memories at one of the greatest universities in the nation.

At a large school like Ohio State, my classmates can only be defined as "diverse," as I had many classes with a wide variety of people.

My classmates have the same zeal I do when it comes to schoolwork, however most of them are better off financially. Most of my classmates are in honors engineering courses with me, so we tend to share interests. I, along with most of my classmates, put schoolwork first. I really enjoy studying with my classmates because we all support one another, even though we compete directly against one another. Politically speaking, my friends are all over the spectrum and I really enjoy hearing their stances on social issues.

There are a whole lot of people here, so it can be hard to describe them all, but the more I am here, the more I come to learn that everyone is ready to talk to you and are just as scared of you as you are of them.

Some are quiet, some are loud. In such a big place, there are people of all sorts. You never know who you're going to get.

Everyone is their own individual and eager to learn.

Students at my school are very diverse, open minded and tolerant. We have active student organizations that represent all sort of ethnicities, religions, political views, sexual orientations, and other interests.

Starting answering! Amazing LGBTQ community at OSU

For the most part, lucky.

I am constantly surrounded by classmates who exceed expectations in the classroom and out, and are kind-hearted, open-minded people that I know will some day be the strong leaders in our country.

My classmates are typically all very approachable people, and everybody tends to be extremely supportive of everybody else!

Diversity: our school is public and huge and thus diverse with all kinds of groups and courses about such groups: religious, LGBT, socio-economic, out-of-state students, international students, politically diverse students, athletic, smart. Students out of place: I cannot think of any kind of person who wouldn't find his niche at Ohio State Wear: OSU gear, sweat pants and sweat shirts, jeans Different types interact: yes, more than any other place I've seen. You'd see Asians joining fraternities for Blacks or Hispanics. You'd see international students and Utahans preach. You'd see Muslims getting involved in inter-religious groups. Tables in dining hall: four sophomore male athletes enjoying fun talk with one or two girls, 7 freshmen dorm residents trying to seem fun and college material to their peers, two female junior students tired of work and school work, venting out to each other, three students debating serious matters like politics, or science or their class material. Most students from: Ohio Financial background: lower-middle class to middle class. You'll hear: I'm a student, I'm broke wherever you go on campus. Most students aren't politically aware, not active, predominantly left, but right-wingers, don't let that discourage you. I haven't heard a student say how much they'd like to earn one day. There's a lot more focus on how much am I serving instead.

Ohio State is an incredibly diverse campus. I don't believe anyone could feel out of place here. There are so many resources, clubs, classes organizations, etc that allow people to find something they relate to. This also allows them to connect with people they have things in common with. Students come from all different backgrounds and parts of the world. Some students wear sweatpants and a jacket to class, some wear suits, some wear dresses and heels. There are many kinds of people, wardrobes and looks. From my experiences people don't choose their friends based on just looks or money or background. There are so many diverse groups of people that end up being friends past college. It is very different for me than high school where there are the cliques of people. Ohio State was so refreshing to come to. I met so many different kinds of people and became friends with people that came from all different places in the works, different backgrounds, and races. It is an atmosphere not based on money or looks, its is an overall accepting and diverse atmosphere, which I believe is one of the best things about Ohio State.
