    Ohio University - Lancaster Reviews

    I ended up coming to OUL due to not being able to pay for my original school of choice. Even though I enrolled very late, I was accepted and was able to be prepared for the fall semester. I received much help with becoming adjusted to both the Pickerington and Lancaster locations. I also have comorbidity (depression and anxiety that influence each other). The professors are very accommodating to my situation and I could not be more thankful.

    The best way to describe it is "homey". If you loved high school and like learning in smaller groups, then this is the college for you. Talking with professors is easy and they encourage it. All of the professors are more than willing to help you achieve a great grade. I would suggest looking at an online map before you go in because the layout of the campus is slightly confusing. Nothing major, but it will be confusing to go up a flight of stairs then down it and then up again to get to the correct floor. I love all the friends I have made here. They will last a lifetime and it's impossible to not see them everyday on this small campus. The campus has two buildings. The major one with most general education classes is Brasse Hall. The other one is Harold Hall, which holds most of the art and computer classes. The library has several study places and about 5 group study rooms. There is also a tutoring center which has several tutors for almost every class.
    Most of the professors that I have had, have been lovely. College is not what high school teachers make it out to be. While college is stressful, some of the professors really do try to make sure you do not fail their course. Although they get paid either way, and they will not come chasing you down about your grades, if you go to them with concerns, they genuinely try to help. All around a great college.
