I think our school spirit is the best thing about The Ohio State University. Everyone is exicted about being at OSU all year round. This doesn't just have to do with sports either, people are just happy about Ohio State.

Ohio State is an all-around incredible school. However, I'd say that the best thing about OSU is its wide diversity of extracurricular activities available for people of all backgrounds and interests. If you want to do research, there are plenty of professors who will gladly involve you in their projects. If you like sports (but aren't on varsity), there are dozens of intramural teams you can play on. There's also over 1000 student organizations you can become a part of. OSU makes sure you're included and feel welcome!

By far, the best thing about Ohio State is the ease at which organizations function considering the large size of the university. Every student is personally reached and presented with numerous opportunities to get involved on campus on a daily basis. It is incredible how being one student amidst sixty thousand, the top prioritiy of each organization on campus is to reach you- one student. The school does a great job with making sure that each and every student is able to acclimate in a way that makes Ohio State feel like home.

The people. Whenever I have a friend visit, they always say we have the nicest people. We have a great campus and an amazing sports team but the best part is absolutely how comfortable I feel walking around campus and the amazing people I get to work and hang out with.

The campus is enormous. The whole adventure of first seeing and exploring, even beyond orientation is either terrifying or exhilarating. For me it was the latter and despite all the new faces and times getting confused, it was a real adventure.

The best thing by far about The Ohio State University is the abundant opportunity. I truly feel that I have found a balance between every aspect of my life.

Frisbee is always well organized and enjoyable Academically, The Ohio State University provides a extremely challenging, but rewarding, first year engineering program. Furthermore, I feel confident that I can balance my social life with schoolwork.

Chad

The best thing about the Ohio State University (OSU) is that despite its vast student population and physical size, the campus affords all students various opportunities to make campus smaller and succeed in respective areas of their choosing. With an approximate enrollment of 65,000 students, OSU is large enough that I have had the opportunity to come into contact with all different sorts of people within only one academic year, but at the same time, I have been able to find my niche and make campus smaller with select extracurricular activities. The expansive OSU community encompasses many smaller communities.

Kyle

Imagine that you get dropped off at a crossroads where an unlimited number of paths lead to absolutely any future you desire. That is what it is like coming to Ohio State for the first time. There are so many educational concentrations, clubs, activities, groups, and interesting people here that it is almost impossible to not make yourself at home within a short time after arriving. Being an out of state student, this was especially relieving because there is always a little bit of anxiety when you leave your home. This is definitely the greastest thing about Ohio State.

Candice

Unlimited opportunites and resources

Chelsie

The best thing about Ohio State Main Campus is the atmosphere. There is always something to do on campus, from concerts to rallies. There is a group for everything and anything you would every want to be involved in. There are also the sports teams which everyone gets into to support the buckeyes.

Sabarinath

My interest in the Ohio State University is not limited to its organizational excellence but also draws upon its involved student body. To my joy, my friends around campus are extraordinarily interested in culture, language and cuisine – domains that deeply interest me. Specifically, OSU boasts a diverse community which would allow me to contribute my cultural experiences from the Middle-East and Indian subcontinent. In turn, other students from the dorms will also expose me to the rich Western Culture which I have unfortunately not explored as much.

Toby

Ohio State offers such a myriad of diverse oppertunities that it is very difficult to chose the best one. However, with this being said, I would have to argue that the Scholars Program at Ohio State is in my opinion the best thing about the school. The Ohio State Scholars Program presents students who are motivated by academics with the oppertunity to socialize and live with other students who share the same interests and career goals.
