The atmosphere is the most unique out of anything. It's so large yet inviting. You feel as though you're not just a number in a sea of 60,000+ students, which is invaluable. The academics are amazing while still having many on campus activities and opportunities to get involved. I grew up in a family of Buckeyes and couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

To suceed at Ohio State is simple- use your resources. The campus is huge, and to some that can draw them away, but the beauty of Ohio State is its size. This college has thousands of resources for students of all majors and of all levels of learning. Ohio State helps you with the baby steps to become overall successful. Also, buckeye pride is like nothing else. When you are a buckeye, you join a family. The best way to feel apart of this famliy is joing clubs and taking advantage of all the opportunites provided.

Ohio State is unique because even though it is a huge school, it is as small as you make it. You can choose to get involved with a group, such as a club or a sorority/fraternity, and create a tight knit group to stick with. You can also join multiple groups and have many different groups of friends. I've heard people say that Ohio State is too big for them, but really, it is as big as you make it. I think that's one reason why Ohio State is so awesome!

We have a strong sense of community here and we are accepting of those who are different politically, religiously and racially. Our school offers opprotunities for people to express their diversity freely and allows others the chance to learn about other people. The school is located in a good spot with lots of buisness, restaurants, busses catering to us. Its size is big but by living in the dorm and joining various groups you make friends easily and it makes it seema lot smaller.

Unlike other colleges, Ohio State is like a bustling town in which there are so many opportunities. Almost every week I receive an e-mail about outreach, research, or other outlets to become involved. Another unique aspect about Ohio State is that so many graduate schools are located on campus, so it is easy to become involved within a particular career field.
David
It is huge. This is great because you have opportunities to pursue thousands of various fields and meet an incredible variety of people. It can be a pain though with large classes and long walks to class.
Nathan
My school is ranked as number twenty-five by "U.S.News" on their list of top one hundred engineering schools in the United States. It is also the second biggest school in the entire United States. With many people attending this University, there is a great opportunity to exprience the variety of attributes that each person has to offer. This fact also provides opportunities to learn how to manage and maintain many different relationships.
Matt
It is very urban, but the campus itself feels like a very traditional college campus. Downtown is 2 miles south, with an amazing arts district bordering the south end of campus. You can come to OSU and be an OSU student--engaged in clubs and such, but you can also come and make your own life with all the things to do in the city of Columbus, outside of OSU.

Ohio State's campus is the most unique aspect of the school. You can go to any school where they have supreme academic standing, but you will never come across a campus so large in size and diverse in cultures. Ohio State is a world of its own. With the overly populated school, Ohio State University provides an environment where students can learn and grow, and come across real life situations they never experienced back in their sheltered home life. Ohio State's diverse population teaches us that we're all different individuals.
David
OSU has more students than most other Universities. Contrary to belief, the large student body actually brings a lot of benefits. You are bound to find others with similar interests, and you can always find something to do. The size also allows the school to budget great teachers, maintain great facilities (like the recreation center) and put on great student events (like concerts).

Ohio State is unlike any school I have ever been to. The traditions bring everyone together and make you feel like you are part of something bigger than yourself. On a football saturday you can yell OH and you will hear dozens of IO's in response. If you want to go to a school with excellent academics, but also have fun by being involved in clubs or intramurals, this is the place to be.
Sophia
It is really big, which is a huge advantage and not really a drawback at all. There are so many options, and each department is small and personal, so it's really easy to fin something you love and have the support to excell in it, and you have the option to change your mind with minimal stress.
Rupinder
It is HUGE! Also, a degree from OSU compared to the other schools I've considered would give me a higher chance at landing a job in my field, because of its great academics, expectations, standings, and opportunities.
Brittany
The fact that it is so big is something unique. Other schools are big, but not like Ohio State. And even though it's big, they still make a big school seem small by incorporating many different clubs and activities to participate in. In fact, Ohio State just created there thousandth club this year!
Sergiy
The Ohio State University is one of the few schools in the nation which is fully devoted to promoting their students and helping them make progress in their careers. These various options and opportunities are tremendous, making them unique in caring about the future of their students. These qualities make OSU one of the best schools that I had considered when applying to a university. After discovering these opportunities, it became evident that OSU trully cared about their students. The benefits of being in the university and it's programs make it one of the best in the nation.
Lisa
Its size allows for a huge range of activities, majors, resources, and types of people. Its academics may not be on an ivy league scale, but the school holds a high esteem among universities. There are many opportunities here academically and socially.
Jesse
The Ohio State University is a fantastic place for anyone who wants a world class education and a social life. The size ensures that possibilities are endless, but the faculty remains fantastic and accessible. Job placement is great - there are more Buckeye alumni in the world than any others with executives in Goldman Sachs, Limited Brands, and countless other powerhouse corporations.
Autumn
I attend a university with the largest campus in the nation. When I was making the decision of where I wanted to go to college, I considered the uniqueness of Ohio State. It's diverse culture and intriguing history still come alive today through school spirit. Whether you are attending an OSU football game or just walking to class, you always feel the connection that makes every student a buckeye. OSU also offers a diverse extra-curriculum, it is truly a college for everyone.

Ohio State and the greater Columbus area has a great variety of activities, restaurants, social events, ways to get involved that represent its cohesive family. This university is very accepting of all peoples, and is eager to inculcate that same acceptance into all its students. Columbus is a very trendy city but holds onto its history. With areas like Short North, the Arena District, and German Village, there's always something going on for every person.
