Ohio University is recognized as one of the best schools nationwide for its education and graduation rates. Ohio University was also the very first college in the Northwest Territory.

This school is probably best known for its "party school" vibe, even though this is true it is still a very good school and everyone here is very nice. It is almost like we all are one big happy family.

Ohio University is very well known for their amazing marching band. The 110 Marching Band travels and performs all over the world. A few members of the band actually came to my high school's band camp, and that is how I heard of this wonderful school. I am grateful to go to an institution that promotes such talent.

Ohio University is unanimous for being having the "ultimate" campus. Athens is a beautiful town with a rich history in the middle of no-where, so the school loves to party. This is one of the main reasons why I choose to transfer.

Homecoming is one of my favorite campus traditions. Alumni, faculty, staff, and students all come together in support of OU's rich history and to cheer at the annual homecoming football game, watch the parade, and participate in other activities. It is also a great opportunity to meet alumni and hear how going to OU has shaped their lives.
Jessica
Ohio University is best known for it's parties, strong acedemics (i.e. journalism, sports administration, osteopathic medicine, and engineering), and it's beautiful campus.

OU is definitely a party school and that atmosphere is what makes it so much fun. However, because everyone is out to have a good time it is so easy to meet people on campus with similar interests and everyone is laid back and friendly. Making friends/ forming study groups is no problem and you will make the best friends of your life here.

Not the football team, that's for sure! I would have to say that OU is best known for its Marching 110, the Most Exciting Band in the Land! Students go to the football games just for the halftime show. OU is also known for its Scripps College of Journalism (rated in the Top 20 of the US) and is also known for its incredible Music Therapy program, which not many schools offer.

Ohio University is sadly best-known for the partying that takes place on campus. However, they do have great academic programs and very inspirational professors. I have been accepted to the University of Cincinnati and plan to go there this fall to pursue architecture and biomedical engineering, but for now I am getting some general classes out of the way at this wonderful university.

OU is best known for its huge Halloween party of course. It is also known for its drinking and partying at other times of the year. Its sad that this is the case since it is also known for its great Journalism program, its haunted campus, its legacy of being the first university in Ohio, and its strong school spirit and pride among the students.

being a party school, but being a place where anyone in any type of social classification is accepted.

Ohio University is well-known for being the first university created in the state of Ohio in 1804. Also, it is the oldest universty in the Northwest Territory and the ninth oldest public university in the United States. The fourth president of this school, William Holmes McGuffey, is known for the McGuffey Readers, which was the first widely used book to help children learn how to read.

Ohio University is best known for the Scripps College of Communication, which is divided into five seperate schools and is a seperate admissions program from Ohio University in and of itself.

My college is known as a party school to a lot of people, but it is also well known for it's journalism school, and a lot of people come from out of state to attend it.
Leah
Alcohol, which is unfair, our journalism program
Bailey
Despite OU's unfortunate reputation as a party school, the university really is best known for what it is: a bastion of learning, academic excellence and a comfortable but challenging school that encourages students to succeed.
Emily
Our school is probably best known for being one of the top party schools in the nation, however there is so much more to do here than just party.
Andy
Ohio University is best known for it's Scripps School of Journalism. The business school was also ranked as the 47th best in the nation by Business Weekly, which makes me very proud!
