Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about going to Ohio University is that it is hard to find what class you want to go to online along with making sure you can get the maximum amount of loans. If you go to the main campus you will only recieve around 400$ which is not enough to help pay bills.

Wish I had more advice/ pressure from advisors on picking classes, discussing career options and choosing a major.

I wasnt sure if I was in the right major and it was hard for me to know who to contact to talk about my options.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that it has a well known reputation for being a party school. Going to a school that prides itself on drinking and partying makes it hard to focus on the reason you are actually attending the university in the first place. There have been multiple times where, if it were not for the atmosphere of the campus, I would be in much better academic standing than I currently am. Overall, Ohio University is a wonderful school but it requires a lot of each student to turn away from these activities.

My school is in a small town so there is not really much there. It is also an expensive school that charge to much for certain things.

The most frustrating thing about this school is the administration. The administrators at this school are, to boil it down to a few choice adjectives, a bunch of greedy, apathetic, money-grubbing scrooges. The top administration, from the Board of Trustees down to the Provost, are more interested, and I am tempted to say, solely interested, in squeezing every last penny out of students pockets. This manifests itself in various ways; food quality (poor), education quality (good, but could be much better) and athletics (more emphasized for benefit of the administration as a profit-generating tool, than student enjoyment).

Trying to schedule the classes you need.

There is a lot of partying and that is why most people attend this college. Sometimes I'm looking to do more with other people but they are very focused on that.

One of the most frustrating things about Ohio university is the amount of drinking and partying in which many underage students participate. I knew that I worked very hard to get where I was and I was not going to let that kind of lifestyle interfere with what I was there to do and I could never understand how so many others did not feel the same way that I did. That said, there are many students who had the same outlook I did, and I had a wonderful experience at Ohio University.

The most frustrating aspect of my school deals with the dorms. It really is stressful meeting a new person, and automatically living together in the room as if you've known each other for years! The system in becomming paired up with someone who shares similar feelings and lifestyles definitely needs some adaptations and adjustments so that students can feel comfortable coming to college and sharing living space with another individual.
