I think that I had a very good understanding of what campus and academic life would be like on this campus. I had previously spent time at Ohio State University working with various professors through a 4-H program, so really felt this was a great place to learn and meet people.

I wish I had known more about the curriculum before I came to The Ohio State University. I had originally started in a Pharmacy program, and switched over to Mechanical Engineering. However, when I made this switch, my counselor did not recommend I take the correct classes, and as a result, I will be graduating a year late.

Nothing really, it was easy to fit in right away, plus the orientation was helpful.

Jessica

Before coming to this school, I wish I knew to focus on academics first and foremost. I was actually told very often to join organizations and to meet new people. Therefore, I thought the most important thing to do upon coming to college was to socialize. Now in my second year, I realize that this is not case. I have a large group of acquaintances, several close friends, and I am in a long term relationship. However, I feel that because I was so concentrated on making friends, I have not achieved the grades that I could have otherwise.
