I AM FILLING OUT THIS SURVEY FOR TRUE HALL (OHIO UNIVERSITY)

Ohio is a really great school and I adored my four years there. While I wish they were a bit more challenging academically and while I wish the majority of the student body was a bit more studious and much less irresponsible, I still loved every single day I spent there.
I completed this survey for BUSH hall.

OU is a great community to be in and I'm thrilled that I came here. I was not too excited about going to school like most of my friends, basically because I was sick of studying, but I wouldn't trade my experience here for anything. Yes, sometimes I hate having to stop socializing and go study, but the experience overall is worth it.

There are several keys to having a good time at OU. The first and most important is to find your people, or your niche or however you want to put it. It's tough to have great experiences by yourself, unless you have some amazing imagination and your invisible friends keep you entertained or whatever. The second key, which may be an obvious one, is to get out and do things! Break into the Ridges one night, it's spooky and fun (although I would advise you to not do it around Halloween - it's more fun on a random night when no one's around). Go away for weekend trips occasionally; Athens can be great, but it is rather isolated, and it really is great to get away for a bit and spend time with friends. Take advantage of all of the activities the university offers - we have a great student center called Baker, there are comedians and concerts and movie nights. I may sound lame or whatever saying it, but believe me, you can still have a great time without drinking (plus you'll actually remember it and not be sick the next day). Don't be a person who goes home every weekend - you miss out on a lot; be independent, and don't cling to home or your high school days or whatever - college is about growing up and moving on.
A word of caution, though: don't forget what you came here for, which is to learn. You can learn things both inside and outside of class, so take it all in. And take it from someone who's made some mistakes in her first year here - keep on top of your classes! Sometimes it sucks, but it is an education you're paying for here, so play...just not too much.
