I think our school is best known for our Band. Some people might say its a party school, and yes people do party, but our band is well known. Our school marching 110 is very good.

Ohio University is best known for their reputation of being a party school. While that is true, many colleges can also be considered a party school. It is just a matter of balancing your school work and your social life.
Donald
Although I'm not proud of it, Ohio University is mostly known for their crazy parties, especially during Halloween.
Benjamin
My school is best known for being a "party" school. But, truthfully if you aren't into that knid of thing there is so much more offered at Ohio University. I am not a big "party"er and there is so much for me to do. Between school work and spending time with friends I am always occupied. This school should be best known for having something for everyone.
Gerald
Ohio University is mainly known for its business school and communications school. They are both ranked in the top schools in the country. OU is also known for being a big party school but it doesnt over ride the production of the students and their academics.

It?s partying, but really, I think there is a lot more to the OU campus than the binge drinking of some. It?s a place where you can strike up conversations with complete strangers in coffee shops and make life long friends, where your views can be challenged and expanded by the wealth of diversity despite the fact it is a small school, and for the beautiful scenery that surrounds you.

Ohio University is known for outstanding education for its students. It is also known for that small town feeling. Some people think of it as a "party school", however I personally don't agree with that. It is a fun place to be but is also a safe place to be. You have to be adult enough to make good choices when you are attending a college. There are plenty of activities to do that are both safe and fun.

Ohio University is best known for being a huge party school, but in fact that is only true on Halloween weekend. I think OU should be known for its liberal and laid-back atmosphere. Most people are openminded and there is a huge LGBT community here. There were thousands of Obama posters during the election.
Brian
Ohio University is a well known party school that still balances acedemics. The social life flourishes especially on the weekends.
Natalie
The diversity in my school as well as very knowledgable faculty members. Although my major in particular is suffering with overwhelming amounts of students and low faculty numbers, the professors that are available really know their area of study. Almost all the professors I have been acquianted with have shown much enthusiasm in their teachings as well. This allows to students to be attentive during class times and become interested/knowledgable during and after taking the class. The diversity amongst the students and teachers allows students to become more culturally aware and accepting.
Jacqueline
Ohio University is best known for partying, the Scripps school of journalism, and soon the Global Leadership Center.
Taylor
Unfortunately, we are best known for being one of the biggest party school is America and for having the biggest Halloween Party. I am not going to lie, the Halloween Party is fun and entertaining and our Fests are a guarenteed good time, but there are plenty of other things to do on campus. Don't think just because you don't drink you cannot come to Ohio University. We have midnight movies on the weekends and comedians that come in weekly. There is always something to do here!
Mallory
Unfortunetly, alcohol plays a huge part in social activities at OU. It's probably best known for its party school status.
Michelle
The only thing this school is known for is partying/drinking
Jennifer
Ohio University has a nationally-renowned school of journalism, education and exercise science. But it also has a party-school reputation because of the big Halloween celebration and the street fests during Spring Quarter.

Engineering and Halloween Party

Unfortunatly, OU is best known for its party school reputation. More often than not, I am asked about the party scene than my academic experience - even on job interviews! While the university is trying hard to rid itself of this reputation, I think a better course of action would be to focus more on the academics where it would cast a shadow over the less than flatering reputation.
Brian
Our School of journalism is one of the best in the country, otherwise probably the fact that we are consistently a highly ranked party school.
