I love Ohio university Southern so far, as I'm only 1 semester into my 4 year degree. Everyone that I've came into contact with as far as staff has been extremely helpful if I have any issues. The only problem I've had is with some of the professors- they're not thorough in their teaching and seem to be there for only a paycheck. I feel that I am paying big bucks to get a degree that will make a difference in my community so when I am being taught on a certain subject the professor needs to learn to teach it well, as my learning is solely in his or her hands. I recommend going to www.ratemyprofessor.com before choosing a professor in a class that you are required to take so that you understand how the professor teaches and how good or bad they are.
I love the small town, close knit community feel. It truly feels like home and everyone is extremely welcoming and willing to help. The staff as this University want you to succed and will go out of their way to help you accomplish every single dream you have.
