Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Carla

I think the best thing about my school is the way the professors present themselves. You know that they only want the best for their students and only want to see them succeed. They will do whatever they can to help their students and I think that is very important.

Brooke

The strong sense of belonging that students on this campus feel as soon as they arrive. Ohio University is in a small town so you get aquainted with the campus very quickly, and can always find a familiar face walking uptown or in a classroom. Everything you need is within walking distance, and because of the beautiful, old buildings and various greens throughout the campus, the scenery is always worth the walk. The atmosphere is always upbeat around campus, and people are very friendly and willing to help out those in need.

Matt

I consider Ohio University's gorgeous campus the best thing about my school. Here, we have have red brick roads, tree covered hills, and buildings that grasp the sense of Ohio's oldest, and first college or university. In fact, it has been given the name Harvard on the Hocking, because we are located on the Hocking River and can be hard to distinguish from that of Harvard.

Brian

The environment surrounding the campus is very inviting for walkers, joggers, bikers, and hikers. There is plenty of nature around in which several students find refuge to study.

Sarah

I really enjoy the school environment, professors, campus and people. I also love the variety of activities avalable

Conor

Ohio University is the rare university that gives back what you put into it. I relate it to an album - there are some that are immediately great, some that are pretty terrible, and those odd ones that you think could be good if you listen to it closely for all of the instrumentation, lyrics, and overall production of the work. Ohio University is to colleges what that album is to the music world - unique, difficult to affiliate with immediately, but upon further inspection a great place to learn, laugh, love, and grow into maturity.

Rachel

The people I meet.

Taylor

The campus is the best part about Ohio University, hands down. The first time I visit the campus, I fell in love with the layout. Although the hills can be rough sometimes, when the leaves change in the fall and when spring rolls around, there is no place I would rather be. Ohio University has been around for a while and some of the buildings are almost fifty years old. I love the old small city feel about

Penny

The best thing about Ohio University is the gorgeous campus. It is a place that is truly relaxing but at the same time it is a place that inspires learning.

Kellie

We are a really diverse campus and it takes some time to fit in but once you do, you never look back. Many students fall in love with the school once they find a balance between social life and school work.

Jessica

The vibe here is so much more different than anywhere else I've been. This school has a feel that is strangely unique and very familiar. The pace is slower and it's more difficult to feel rushed here, which I think is a very good thing.

Marcus

The best thing about Ohio University are the resources available to students for degree auditing, academic advising, and tutoring for continued academic success.

Jamie

I love the small town setting of Athens. I grew up in Cincinnati, where the people are generally not as friendly and there are not as many natural surroundings. There are plenty of outdoor, community, and university activities to choose from. It is generally very laid-back here as well.

Angelic

The best thing about my school would be the possible relationships that a student is able to build with their professors. The professors for the mosr part are very open minded and are willing to take the time to get to know a student and then when it's time, they will write reccomendations for jobs and graduate school.

Brittany

The best thing about my school is that I know by getting my degree here, I will have no problem in finding a job after graduate school. For jobs in journalism, physical therapy, medicine, buisness students are given an advantage because these type employers specifically look for Ohio University students .

Jessica

The Scripps College of Communication I consider the best thing about my school because it is one of the strongest communication programs in the nation. The various schools within the college can hold their own, which further strengthens the program and allows the program to attract the best students. Best part, tons of hands on experience in and out of the classroom make this communications program the best thing about OU.

Carolyn

The small town atmosphere. The hills and the trees are absolutely beautiful in the fall andI love the brick streets and buildings. It feeds small town comfort while still providing diversity within a larger community of students.

Madeline

The campus is very pretty and the people are nice. I'm honored to be accepted into OU.

Jeffrey

The best thing about the school is how comfortable the feel of the campus is - regarding its beauty.

There is always something going on. I am never bored. The people here are so friendly and the night life is just amazing.
