The music scene is very prevalent and diverse.

The landscape is very attractive to the eye. Plenty of opportunities to bike, hike, walk, jog, and just be in the peaceful nature of the environment.
Andrew
Very pretty, very friendly, very hard academically, and very socially active.
Maria
It's beautiful campus and responsive staff.
Penny
The feeling of Athens! There's no other place like Athens.
Mallory
Ohio University offers a unique atmosphere that wasn't apparent on other campuses I visited. OU is incredibly friendly and laid-back, and that's what ultimately made me decide Ohio University was right for me.
Jaime
The campus is just the right size to give you a wonderful, new experience, yet small enough to make you feel right at home with the campus and those around you. I feel safe if walking around campus by myself even at night. It doesn't take more than fifteen minutes to get anywhere on campus. There are also many branches of this campus that gives you the opportunity to take courses on breaks that may be closer to your home. There is a great branch right in my home town!
Rachel
Ohio Univerisity has the most inviting atmosphere of any school I have visited. People are excedingly friendly and helpful. There is a diverse group of students at the univeristy, so individuals are always able to find somewhere they belong. At the same time, though, OU remains a cohesive entity. The campus is large enough that all the ammenities of a big school are avaialable but small enough that students do not get lost in the shuffle. Instead, they are celebrated as individuals.
Christine
Student involvement on campus is huge. Students sit in on meetings with administrators, and can help make decisions for the University as a whole.
Whitney
Everyone in general is very attractive and just wants to have a good time, while still doing well at school!
Charles
Ohio University has one of the most beautiful campuses I have seen. It is located in the Appalachian region, which gets very colorful during Autumn. The campus' buildings are mostly made of red brick.
Del-Jean
I had considered going to an HBCU and I ended up coming to OU. At first, it was hard to adjust to a new environment, especially since it wasn't my first choice. After being here for what is now three years, I love this school. Once I gave it a chance, I began to acquire a sense of pride and a sense of belonging to this shool. I love it.
Randall
Stress was a major issue for me when I chose a school. I didn't want to get lost on campus or worry about being late by a minute or two, or even ten. The campus is calm on the weekdays, but can get a little wild on the weekends depending on which street you walk down. I haven't heard of any physical violence on the campus, so it seems to me that the school is proud of student safety.
Frederick
Rural setting and it still feels like a big school with lots of choices.
Erica
the town is so small that most of Athens is college students
Tony
My school has a Forensics (speech and debate) team. We are considered the number one team on campus, and I love it. We have brought a lot of publicity to the university, by appearing on Fox and Friends for a political debate, and currently we are eleventh in the nation. This is an academic activity which will attract students that tend to have high ACT scores and GPA in high school.
Valerie
If you're even remotely interested in OU you should tour the campus. You'll be able to tell right away if it seems like home to you.
Tate
I want come back for Ph.D, in the next few years.
annie
