Ohio State University-Main Campus Top Questions

varsity athletes and minorities can recieve tutors free of charge however everyone else has to pay. There are students such as myself you financially cannot afford tutors and aren't athletes or minorities

Sometimes I feel that the most frustrating thing about Ohio State is how big it really is. I think its hard to meet people and get to know them well when there are just so many people everywhere.

The distance between classes when its a rainy day.

It is the biggest university in America so it can be easy to feel overwhelmed

The lectures are immense, it's very hard to be close to your professor.

Being an out-of-state student, the price to go here is really high.

The most frustrating thing about school is that it information isn't just handed out. The faculty here is willing to help but only if you ask for it. I have had some trouble finding out information about my major and even my financial aid status. The school is big so there is not enough availability among staff to help everyone individually.

The size and financial situation.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there needs to be more tutors for higher level courses. There aren't very many science tutors for upper level courses.

Probably the fact there are always new faces everywhere you go. The classes are sometimes so big you feel as though you're being taught by yourself and not a professor.

Sometimes the views of people are very limiting and racially motivated. Sometimes it makes you feel as though you have no common ground with the people that you encounter.

the weather

the size

The most frustrating thing about going to The Ohio State University is the sheer physical size of the campus. It makes almost every class, activity, or hangout place a good walk away, about fifteen minutes on average. Mix that with the cold and the snow in the winter, and by March you'll wish you went to a smaller school!

The most frustrating thing about any school including Ohio State is that the teachers give you homework like your only taking their class. And with taking 3-4 classes and each teacher treating it like it's your only one you end up with a lot of homework due at the same time.

I find the most frustrating thing about OSU is that one must be a racial or cultural minority in order to receive any substantial financial aid. I know a lot of people who are going to college here for free, and in fact are being paid by the registrar's office just because they have 1/8 of "whatever" running through their blood. I am all about diversity and minority attendance, however, only students who are deserving (i.e. high academic and personal achievement) and are committed to their education should be receiving such aid.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there are a lot of conservative people who do not share my same values for environmental consciousness and outdoor recreation like hiking, backpacking, rock climbimg etc. sometimes I feel like I should have gone to a more liberal, artsy school.

A lot of the campus dinning places close on the weekends

Not a lot of parking on campus.

The most frustrating thing about my school would be the competitivene in select programs. For example, I am applying to the Special Education major. The can only accept 43 students every year, but this year we had close to 100 students apply. It is very frustrating knowing that I may not get into the major of my choice (Special Education).
