Ohio State University-Main Campus Top Questions

OSU has an image of being way too big and way too much of a party campus.

Though it's hard to stereotype an undergraduate student body of 30,000+ students, I get the impression that many view OSU students as belligerent, alcoholic meat-head types who screw as many pearl-wearing, East Coast wannabes as they possibly can. These activities, of course, occur more often during football season after said douche bags have each guzzled an entire keg full of Natural Light beer and set fire to at least one dumpster, car or mattress. These people tend to be communications, psychology, and history majors. They spell "hott" with two t's, frequent lame bars on school nights and take few enough classes that they have hours each day to tan and play frisbee on the Oval during spring quarter.

People tend to think of OSU as both a party school and a football-obsessed school.

outstanding performance students

students are obsessed with football, lots of diversity on campus, if you grew up in central Ohio you'll go to OSU

The biggest stereotype that I have come across from various people is that OSU students are pompous individuals who overly idealize their football team and render themselves above all others.
