Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

There are two giant hills you must walk up and down on a daily basis but atleast you get a work out.

Very small amount of financial aid available for out of state low income students beyond Pell Grants.

The worst thing I can think is that the city seems to be in the middle of nowhere. But then again, that's one of the best things about Athens.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the noise in the dorms, but this is why they make study areas. The people down the hall from me are always loud and obnoxious while me and my roommate are trying to study.

Some people who attend this university are ignorant. Ignorant to people's cultures, and especially in regards to gender. I see too much misogyny here on campus. Too many disrespectful comments and actions solely based on someones gender (usually the extroverted gestures are committed by the guys here).

I love Ohio University and have a hard time coming up with the "worst thing" about it. But if I had to choose something, I'd say I was disappointed in the food that was offered. This sounds funny because there was so much variety, but that was part of my problem. I ended up eating a little of everything every day and got tired of it all pretty quickly. I think we need to go back to cafeteria-style food service where you only have a few choices rather than a full-on banquet at every meal.

There are so many hills

The fact that I am an out-of-state student I found myself to be at a disadvantage right off the bat. Many of the kids already knew each other and formed their cliques early, whereas my less socialable self has struggle to make any real good friends.

The partying and lack of focus on school work

I would say the worst thing about Ohio University is being so far from home. It is hard to adjust to college life when you are homesick and out of your comfort zone. However, I think it is essential to embrace this time away from home to truly learn about yourself and express your individuality. For that, the worst thing about my school becomes something that will benefit me for years to come.
