Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Ohio University-Main Campus?

Michael

If you don't do well in social situations, or have trouble balancing partys and school work you dont belong at Ohio University. There are too many social opportunities for those without restraint, and sitting in your room all alone is not a good way to spend your time either.

Ashley

A person that is looking for a very small university that they could quickly know everyone on campus, a person that is very competitive about their university always succeeding at sports, a person that does not like walking on hills a lot, a person who enjoys the atmosphere of a big urban city, a person who is not openminded about coexsisting with people who are different from them, people who are intolerant to different sexual orientation, a person who wants a campus that is very conservative and religious, a person who is not interested in trying new and different things

Siobahn

Someone who isn't big on socialization DEFINITELY should not attend Ohio University! A closed, introvert shouldn't attend Ohio University. A closed minded person. Someone who is easily pressured into doing things they don't want to do-easily swayed, then this isn't the school for you!

Cayce

A person who would prefer a small school.

Monica

I do not think that anyone who does not have a strong committment to stay focused on school work should attend because there are a lot of social activities on campus that may distract him/her from doing well academically.

Gerald

A person that doesnt know how to manage there time and get their school work done. Also you should be able to get along with all races because OU is diverse and is a very open school the people are very friendly and except all races.

Andrew

The kind of people that shouldn't attend Ohio University are partiers and/or anyone not willing to put forth A LOT of effort, blood, sweat, and tears towards a degree. Our school was deemed a "party" school however this is really not the case. Most people at Ohio University are career focused and driven. Ohio University students know when we have a little too much of a good thing (like relaxing, partying, etc,). Being able to balance tough work loads and have a fun social life at the same time is a skill.

Kristin

Conservative people, and people who do not want to socialize.

Alison

Someone who does not have an open mind. It's easy to sit in your dorm room and talk online to friends from home. OU is a place for students to expand their thoughts on what they already know and don't know. Exploring is the best way to learn at my school. Opening your mind to something new creates a whole new outlook on life. We have over 350 student organizations, there is always an event or activity to attend that fits your schedule. Also, someone who doesn't like to recycle. We LOVE to recycle and go green!

Anna

It would be very challenging for a conservative student--especually one with predjudices against races and sexualities--to attend this school due to it's extreme liberal nature and social environment.
