Ohio State is the biggest single campus in the nation yet it only takes 15 mins to walk across campus. All of my classes are in a 3 block radius close to my dorm which is very convient. I looked at Michigan and that was a 15 min bus ride everyday from my classes to my dorm, that seemed like a waste of time. Ohio State also has a big GLBT group which was huge for me as I'm gay and none of the other schools offered that.

Althought it is so large, it is a city within a city. There is really no need for a car to get off campus because everything one needs is all in walking distance.

The atmosphere. Ohio State has great traditions and everyone that goes or went there is proud they did so. I do not know anyone that does not love it and it is very easy to be accepted because of the diversity around campus.

It is located near family. It is also has a good outlook on jobs after college due to how well the university prepares students for the 'real' world. There are many volunteer and job opportunities available on campus, along with research positions for those who need it. Everything a student coud possibly need is available to them on campus. Also, all of the professors are very passionate about teaching and strongly encourage students to do well. They also go out of their way to ensure that students are understanding all of the course work.

There is so much at Ohio State-the football team and athletics are off the charts, so a lot of people like that. There is so much tradition here! It's great how it is in Columbus so the surrounding community offers something different from the typical university experience.

Ohio State has a very rich history of tradition and school spirit that I did not feel at the other schools I visited. The school spirit here at Ohio State is completely unmatched. Every single student here roots for every sports team has pride in whatever the school participates in.

It's a gigantic school. Most/all my other friends from HS go to colleges/universities the size of a college at OSU. However, greater size does NOT equal greater diversity. Keep that in mind.

The school spirit at this university is incredible. It really brings people from all walks of life together, which doesn't happen at other schools.

There's a ton more people and more to do than anywhere else I looked.

Great social life. Buckeye football. Large amount of resources and diversity.

Although there is an incredibly diverse population and we are one of the biggest schools in the nation, everyone is brought together by a sense of school spirit. No matter how different we are, we are all Buckeyes, and wherever you go in the world you can find someone to finish your "O-H!" with an "I-O!" Also, OSU has an incredible range of majors--everything from animal husbandry to neuroscience to theatre. There is something for everyone here no matter what you're interested in along with world-class faculty in that field to help you grow.

My school is unique because of how large it is. Its able to accomodate all types of people and allow them to find any thing that they are interested in.
