On weekdays, you should probably study for your courses and reserve the weekends for fun and social life.

In dorms, it depends on what dorm you are in as to whether students leave their doors open. Living in a predominantly freshman dorm everyone's doors were open and people were willing to meet other. The second year I had a single in a dorm that had a variety of levels of students. It was rare to see doors open in this dorm. Athletic events are extremely popular especially at a BIg 10 school, sports are a big part of Ohio State. There is plenty of opportunity to meet people, I have met my closest friends through random roommates as well as organizationst hat I have joined.

It's OSU so it's all about the balls baby! Aside from football and basketball there is a HUGE range of clubs and organizations available for students. If you're bored on campus here, it's no one's fault but your own! The group I spent the most amount of time with is Block O, the loudest and craziest Buckeye Sports fans you'll find around. Most specifically the greatest kids I've met on campus, a little group that calls themselves the IceBox, the student cheering section for the Men's Ice Hockey team. Sure, how else are you gonna meet the other people that live around you? Athletics- HELLO! this is Ohio State afterall! Guest speakers and theatre depend on who and what it is. Dating scene? I'm not the best person to ask about that. How did I meet my closest friends? Well, I lived with three of them, met the guys at a hockey game and the rest through Block O. Either watching a movie or walking back from Mirror after the Midnight Cookie Run. IDK, not my thing. Last weekend? Drove to Oxford to watch the hockey team, went to the mall, and watched the girls bball team clinch the Big Ten championship title, and going to Applebee's like I do after every OSU sporting event.

There's a party everyday, you just gotta find it.

Yes, we drink a lot. Can you do stuff on and off campus if you don't drink? Yes, you can. Is there a guarantee that you won't be forced to dodge broken glass and pools of vomit on the sidewalks when you walk places? Nope.

The Ohio State campus and Columbus as a city provide so many social opportunities that don't involve drinking. One of my favorite things is the Gallery Hop. On the first Saturday of the month, the art galleries and stores in the Short North (an area near campus that is easily reachable by bus, which is free to ride for OSU students) stay open late. Everyone walks or rides the bus down there and wanders around the art galleries for a few hours. It's really interesting and fun, and it makes you feel so cultured!

-frats/sororities/religion groups are most numbered
-a lot of the sports events, theater/music, etc. are popular, a lot of people are always talking about some event they went to recently
-I live off campus so I don't generally know a lot about life on campus outside of academics

As I have said before, OSU is full of activities, clubs, and organizations. In addition, if there is something you're interested in that is not already an organization, you can form one yourself! There is no reason for any students not to be involved in something that they are interested in or passionate about. It is easy to meet other students this way. Downtown Columbus is extremely close to campus, as well, which also enhances the ability to get involved in social activities. Between downtown and campus, you pretty much have anything and everything at your fingertips!
