Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

OU is an amazing school, with a beautiful campus that is just the right size. It dominates most of Athens, which is the quintisential college town. If I had to change one thing, it would be to be given the opportunity to smack the administration upside the head every time they make a stupid decision.

OU is the perfect size. I spend most of my time in Clippinger Laboratories. Race has been a big issue recently. I wish that the administration would realize that although diversity is important and it is excellent having people of many different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds here, the desire for a more diverse community should not interfere with equal treatment and justice for other students and faculty. I will always remember all of the good times I have had with my friends.

The best thing about Ohio is the campus. Spring quarter is brings amazing weather allowing the students to enjoy outdoor activities. I spend most of my time hanging out with my friends at Ping or playing football outdoors. The school pride is great. Cheering on the team is a necessity.

The best thing about Ohio University is the people to me. Despite the fact that nearly everyone that I meet drinks it seems most people are still good people. When I tell people that I go to Ohio University they automatically assume that I am a major partier and then I have to explain them that I am not, but I realize that is the stigma that goes along with this University. Most of the time I am either in my room hanging out with people or hanging out with friends in their room since I do not usually go to parties. Athens is very much a college town, if Ohio University were not here, then Athens would barely even be visible in the scope of everyday life here. The students bring in a lot of revenue for the local businesses and I feel that they would not be able to survive without the students and the University.

Well, I love OU, one reason I chose it was because of how beautiful the campus is. To me, OU is home, it's perfect for me. I have problems with the administration, who don't seem to care about student opinions. There is no shared governance here, just the students being told what to do, there needs to be more democracy here, more student power. But all in all, this place is amazing. I have had some truly amazing times here, like meeting the people who would become like family to me. Being here has given me the best of friends who are really much closer to me than my actual family. I know one experience I will always remember is Humans vs. Zombies during fall quarter. That was amazing, and I got really close with my friends because of it. I also sprained my ankle for the first time...but that's on a whole different level.

I like it here alot.

OU is awesome. The campus is large enough to be interesting without being so large as to be overwhelming. Most people confuse it with Ohio State, but after a while you stop caring. That or they've heard of its reputation as a party school, a myth I have been trying to dispel for a while now. The only absolutely crazy time of year is Halloween, which has been tamer in the last few years than ever before. I spend most of my time on campus in my dorm building; most of my friends live here and the quiet atmosphere is really good for studying, reading, and just relaxing. However, my friends and I enjoy walking around the campus, particularly on College Green and up and down Court Street. Sometimes, though, if we're just bored, we may walk on the bike path all the way to the Walmart, which is only about 45 minutes. Another thing that never ceases to amaze me about OU is the amount of spirit wear on the campus. It's difficult to go anywhere without seeing someone in an "Ohio" or "Bobcat" shirt.

The best thing about Ohio is that it has so much to offer to so many different people. If I could change anything, i would have less people from my high school here. This school is just right. People always ask about the drinking. I spend most of my time in the dorm. I guess there is a college town, but not really. I don't have much of an opinion on our administration, but I think they should stop cutting all the sports. The biggest recent controversy? I think there was an attack. There is a lot of school pride, many people wear OU shirts. Ohio University is haunted. I'll always remember the good times and the bad times with my friends. I would think the most frequent complaints are about waking up early.

The difference I found at OHIO when I transferred here was how involved the students are in everything. The administration really values the opinions of the students and are constantly trying to involve them in important decisions. I feel like OHIO really is run by the students.

I think the size of OU is just right. A lot of people don't think the school is as good as it is, but if you're coming here for something besides art, it's a great pace to be. Athens is nice, and there's a lot to do on campus. Most of us are proud to be here. The ones who aren't leave.
