Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Ohio University-Main Campus accurate?

Nico

No, I don't drink.

Alena

No. Many students at OU do not drink. OU has one of the top 10 journalism schools in the country, and therefore has many students who are very serious about their studies. Students in other majors are often very studious as well.

Krista

No, not necessarily, we are notorious for being a party school, but every school has out of control parties.

Sydney

I do believe that there is a high account of drinking on this campus, but no everyone participates and there is not a large amount of pressure to drink. There are soooo many bars, but there are many other things to do for fun.

robert

not really

Matt

The stereotype is somewhat true, but there are many people here who do not drink, nor do they take other drugs. Plus, there are many students here who care about their grades and work hard to maintain them.

Monica

I think the party aspect is somewhat true because we have so many fests.

Elizabeth

No, there are those that party all the time, but there are also those who don't.

Adam

These sterotypes and wrong. Yes Ohio students can party hard, but a big factor to that is that we study really hard also. After talking to people who have gone to different colleges as well as Ohio they say that our course work is harder than most other schools.

Kevin

I don't drink, and there is still plenty for me to do down here. There are a lot of kids who just want to party and drink and be obnoxious, but I don't think there is any more of that here than at any other school.

Greg

They exist, I wouldn't say most of the campus is made of them.

TJ

No.

Jessie

Yes.

Staci

Students party quite a lot here, but there are also others who do not drink, do not party, or do these in moderation. Weekends are just fine for drinking and partying, just not Wednesday night. Many students (especially with the more difficult majors) go to class and there are many extremely intelligent people at OU. No, we have no affiliation with OSU.

Ashley

I think that OU is a party school, but I think it has calmed down a lot. A lot of people have much higher expectations than what it can offer. Also, there are a lot of intense "hippies", but there is also a lot of every other "type" of person.

Michelle

I do think that we pregame harder than alot of schools party, but at the same time most of the people I know who go here are not going to school here for it's drinking reputation.

Taylor

?

Reese

these are some what true at least on the weekends people do go out and party alot but everyone also works really hard to get school work down. We work hard and party hard but most people tend to notice the party hard more

Claire

I don't think so. People here drink, but I do not think it is anymore than any other college.

Alex

Yes we are a major party school, but people then overlook the great academics and other renowned aspects of our school.
