Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

The campus. Athens, Ohio is a beautiful place year-round and is totally unique from other colleges. I grew up around Ohio State University and the feels of each university could not be any more different. Athens is a small college town filled with great people and professors. I'm not a huge fan of a school inside of a city, so the small-town atmosphere is a perfect fit for me.

Even on a bad day, when I stop and look around at MY BEAUTIFUL campus,I cant help but smile! :)

The class sizes range from really small (12-15 students) to extremely huge lectures (250) so anyone can find their fit. I personally really like the variety. I don't feel cramped in small classes all the time, nor do I feel lost in a sea of students in class. It's a good balance.

I think that the best thing about my school is the diversity here. So far I have met so many different people from all of Ohio and US. I have friends from California, Chicago and parts of Ohio. I have also had a chance to meet and get to know a few people from India and Ghana. My high school was not very diverse and it was dominantly white. However, now I have African American, Hispanic and Indian friends as well as white. My friendships with a variety of different people have exposed me to diverse lifestyles of other cultures.

The best quality of Ohio University for me IS the fact that it's a large campus set in a small town. Everything in the college is very compact, and it's hardly necessary to possess a car on campus. Everything is within walking distance. With an enrollment of over 20,000 students, a percentage of them international, the variety of backgrounds and viewpoints on campus is amazing. I would venture to say that there are few other campuses on which I could walk down the street and hear German, Arabic, AND Portuguese being spoken on any given day.
