What's unique about your campus?

I consider the prestige of my school the best thing. I am from Ohio and i know that everybody in this state wants to attend the Ohio State University. I went to Florida over the summer going into my Freshman year of college and even people from Florida thought it was awesome that I would be attending the Ohio State University.

"Thee Ohio State University" has an infinite number of positive things to offer its students, but the thing that I find the most appealing is the quality of instructors that work their. The professors at O.S.U. are considered experts in their feilds and they bring a great deal of knowledge into the classes they teach.

Tradition is the best thing about Ohio State. Everyone here is united in their love for the school. Alumni are here to care for us and we have tradition passed down from generations and generations. It really can't be beat. So many memories can be made here and there are more opportunities here than any other school. I love all the people I've met and all the opportunites I've already embraced. Ohio State is perfect in every way. The people are friendly, the teachers are good, and truly anything is possible here.

The large classes, because I learn well in a larger environment.

The best thing about this school is all of the oppurtunities that are availible. Here there are numerous activities that will help with your learning experience or that is just fun to do and give you a understanding of something new and interesting.

Katherine

The atmosphere. There is a constant stream of activities that are planned for students to participate in, many of them being free, so that you will never be bored. One day there will be a showing of Boondock Saints the next day there is the Yule Tide Ball. :) With so many clubs and activities, if you find yourself bored and without plans then it is all your fault.

OSU is a well known school and is highly accredited. It looks good on job applications.

I believe the best thing about my school is the diversity. I really like how there are many different students of different enthnicities and with different backgrounds. With this school having over 50,000 students this is expected, but I have no experienced any diversity like this before. In my high school, it was basically just black, white, or bi-racial. Since my school has so much to offer it is kind of hard to just pick the best thing, so another thing I like is the fact that research is so important here.

There is something here for everyone.

Alexis

The best thing about my school would have to be the people. There are various types of people from all over the state, country, and world present at this university. I can have an interesting conversation at any time because I am surrounded by people who have had different experiences and have different beliefs than I do. Life is never boring at Ohio State. Just moving into the dorms offers students the opportunity to become submerged in a variety of cultures and ethnicities. It is intriguing to learn how others live and think, and OSU allows you to do this.

The quality of the education and curriculum is the reason I decided on OSU. I also enjoy the campus and the people I have met. I am hoping the friendships I have made are ever-lasting. Although I spend a lot of time studying, I feel I have learned to manage my time well enough to allow for plenty of free time to enjoy my friends and the many campus activities. I recently help start up a new fraternity and find that to be very rewarding.

Ryan

OSU definitely boast one of the most diverse and biggest student populations--Greeks, ethnic backgrounds, international students, age and socioeconomic. If there's one school to find people like you--and not like you--it's here at OSU. This definitely adds to the experience where other schools lack in diversity and allows students to mingle with other people they wouldn't have had the opportunity to ever meet. The size seems daunting initially but you carve your own niche and OSU life becomes much more accessible.

Ashley

The reputation of the school is the best thing about OSU. I feel the education that I am getting will help me get the best career that I can get. Even though my classes are very difficult, I stay positive knowing that if I can accomplish survival of an engineering degree from OSU, I can do anything. After I leave with my degree and I tell people that I went to OSU, it really means something.

Brittanie

The best thing about my school is the diversity. The high school that I attended didn't have any diversity there were a few Caucasians but not many because my high school was majority African American. Ohio State introduced me to so many different cultures and races and they have an excellent office of International affairs that gives students opportunities to study abroad. Actually, our president Gordon Gee recommends that every student have a passport and consider studying abroad.

Keith

The computer and research facilities. And the libraries. The main library is wonderful!

Rachel

Ohio State University seems like it would be so big, it's only too easy to get lost, but thats not the truth at all. CLasses are designed so that students can be hands on and actually learn. The size is actually more of an advantage than a disadvantage. I love the fact that it's so big. I feel like I have a lot more opportunities to meet new people and participatein all the things i want to. There are so many clubs and organizations, it is hard to choose just one.

Meagan

The fact that no matter where you go, if you graduated from OSU, you are held at a higher level. Also it had the best program for my area of study in the US.

Mackenzie

There is always something to do.

Megan

The best thing about OSU is the school spirit and sense of unity students feel about the university. Everyone is proud to be a buckeye.

Erica

Going to the football games is the best thing about THE Ohio State University. Go Buckeyes!!!
