This the only school I considered.

It has a program specifically designed for the undecided students, called the exploration program. This program made me choose this university over another one that I was considering.

Ohio State used to be a University that just about anyone could get into. With the arrival of President Gordon Gee the school has become much more prestegious and harder to get into. It is a very research oriented school. The Engineering college is nationally ranked and has a great program to help students such as myself find a job before graduation.
Cory
It is the biggest campu sin the United States. There is always something going on and always new people to meet. It really is a one of a kind type of place and an amazing experience thus far.
Stephen
It's a great school, but very beaurocratic. It's complicated
Nickeisha
My school is very unique because it is the largest university in the nation. My universities name is know worldwide not only for its great football team but also for its great academic programs.
Nieecole
The dirverstiy. I have never been exposed to this many different people. And I am a better person now because of it.
Ashley
Maybe it just because I am a Buckeye now, but there is nothing like Ohio State football. The whole town and state practically shuts down on game days, everyone loves to watch the Buckeyes play. I think the large size also allows for everyone to find something they enjoy to do and place they enjoy.
Maggie
Nowhere else was this big (resources from the university) and also this urban (resources from the City of Columbus).
Erica
OSU offers more opportunity for their students because it is such a big university. Everything is there if the student is willing to search for it. OSU has huge school spirit and to be a Buckeye means a lot of pride and responsibility because every time you wear the logo you represent everything that OSU offers. OSU has the environment to allow a teenager become an adult. Often, a student learns the hard way, but is the better person for it.

Its so large but yet so small. Its a real campus.
Corey
Ohio State revolves around the almighty football program...and the things that go along with that (parties, alcohol). The dorms try to make other things availiable, but ultimately, fall quarter has one big thing going on...Ohio State vs. Michigan...the whole quarter is a lead up to that.
Alex
The spirit around campus in contagious. The atmosphere is like no place I've been.
Emily
Ohio State University is the biggest public university in the nation, so there are a lot of people. Some may find it overwhelming, but it's amazing. With 60,000 other people on campus, it's impossible not to make friends. As long as a strong effort is made to expose yourself and make friends, there are lots of people to meet!
Megan
The sheer amount of opportunities available to every single student - no matter what you choose to be, Ohio State has got a WONDERFUL program for it, more than likely. Or, at the very least, a club devoted to it!
Casey
don't be afraid to change if you don't like it. it is certainly not for everyone.
Casey
Base your college decision on what environments you like. It's hard to know how you will do in one atmosphere vs another, but try your best. If you like the country, go to a smaller school that's a few minutes from the country. If you think a big city is appealing, OSU will be great for you. Weigh what's important. I have hated every bit of the city life since I got up there, but I met such great friends I didn't want to have to start over at another school. I still stick by that decision, but I drive home every weekend to get out of Columbus (to keep my sanity) but gasoline is expensive and it's not economical.
Joe
O yea and our president is kind of the shit
Ben
The Ohio State University is the Best Damn School in the land!!!
Mel
Overall, I felt like I had an average year at Ohio State. It is so hard not seeing my family on a daily basis and I feel like a stranger a lot without my family making it hard to become friends with a lot of people. I have gotten used to life here and hope I can continue to make progress here in the future.
