Sophomore: Ohio State University is a college that focuses on job opportunities and athletics, and its degree requirements for students reflects that. Many professors are either very professional or have no teaching experience whatsoever, and it is a guess as to which one you'll receive half of the time. Campus events and community are great though, and there are plenty of groups to get involved with if you're interested in any subject. Although there are some instances of crime around campus, very rarely does any serious crime happen on campus grounds. The university has plenty of support and equipment for athletes as well, so if you are interested in any form of athletics, feel free to enroll into The Ohio State University!... Read 5,779 reviews

Sophomore: CWRU is a great environment for premed students! I would estimate ~65% of undergraduates here are on the premed track, which makes for a very research heavy environment, where faculty is very cooperative and willing to work with students. Unfortunately the campus is isolated in a suburban-esque area of Cleveland, there's not much to do since stepping off campus is relatively dangerous as well. The undergraduate educational environment, however is quite tailored to the premed experience. Competition between premeds is pretty rough, and the school has a pretty bad case of the "Case Complex", meaning if you're not premed, you might be on the receiving end of a little snark on behalf of some Case students. Classes are quite manageable if you plan your schedule accordingly, don't try to overload yourself with classes and you'll be fine! Dining options on the North Residential Campus is gnarly compared to the South Side, so dine at Fribley whenever you get a chance.... Read 1,756 reviews

Senior: Oh, my time at the University of Dayton was simply unforgettable! From the moment I stepped foot on campus, I knew I was in for an amazing college experience. Go Flyers! One of the first organizations I got involved with was Phi Chi Theta, the premier business and economics fraternity. Another significant role I held on campus was serving on the University Hearing Board. As a board member, I participated in student conduct hearings, where we strived to create a supportive and educational environment while upholding the university's code of conduct. Academically, the University of Dayton provided an excellent learning environment. The professors were approachable and genuinely invested in their students' success. Overall, my college experience at the University of Dayton was a whirlwind of growth, learning, and camaraderie. The memories I made and the skills I developed during my time there continue to shape my journey beyond graduation.... Read 1,456 reviews

Graduate Student: As a current graduate of the University of Cincinnati, I am ecstatic to share my overwhelmingly positive experience! The university's commitment to academic excellence and supportive faculty truly stood out during my time there. The diverse and vibrant campus community fostered a welcoming environment, encouraging collaboration and cultural enrichment. Cutting-edge research opportunities and state-of-the-art facilities further enriched my learning journey. UC's emphasis on practical skills and real-world applications prepared me for a successful career ahead. I am forever grateful for the lifelong friendships and professional networks I developed. Without a doubt, the University of Cincinnati is an exceptional institution that has empowered me to achieve my dreams!... Read 4,054 reviews

Freshman: I am currently a freshman at Ohio Northern University majoring in exercise physiology. First time coming to campus was a great experience, I immediately felt at home and loved the people! There is a lot of green space on campus and everything is within a 15 minute walk. Athletic facilities are good, two weight rooms and a cardio room for students to use. Academics are great, professors really care about your success and offer help outside the classroom. Many students play sports on campus, the team environment and coaching staff is wonderful. My favorite part is seeing students pass by one another waving and saying hello, very friendly environment.... Read 605 reviews

Alum: Reflecting back on my Miami education, I can honestly say that the Miami network has proven to be more valuable than the education. I have landed offers from companies from the Bay Area to Chicago to Boston on the strength of the Miami alumni network. If you evaluating a school this factor should not be overlooked. My Miami years were among the best of my life, the education and experiences were first rate (including studying abroad), and the friendships have been lifelong. The alumni network has proven priceless as I have sought employment in the years (decades) following my time in Oxford! Love and honor to Miami!... Read 3,372 reviews

Freshman: Kent State is an amazing school! They have great club academics and athletics that really cater to anyone's needs or dreams. As a poly science student I have an overwhelming amount of resources that help me in my studies, networking and making myself a better person. At first I had doubt about Kent State due to it living in the shadow of Ohio State University (I live in central Ohio near Columbus for reference.) But I was so wrong. The only thing I will say is that compared to urban universities it lack things to do BUT Kent is considered a suburban area school so for what it is it goes above my expectations overall. If your into off campus parties Kent has a great Greek Life in place and there parties are great. Like a slightly watered down version of Ohio University at Athens frat party.... Read 4,807 reviews

I've made so many new connections attending the Mount. If I ever needed assistance for class work, the teachers will always make out time to better your understandings.

Sophomore: Ohio Dominican University is an amazing place to help foster growing minds, it is also a very accepting place for everyone no matter our differences. The main thing I love about Ohio Dominican is that the student body is able to create the groups that they are looking for within the school, this makes for finding a place that you can fit in a lot easier. Another thing that is pretty amazing about the Ohio Dominican experience is that the class sizes are on the smaller size which makes it easier for students to get the help that they need on the courses that they are taking, and allows for the professors to give their students their complete attention without them feeling like they're being lost in the crowd....

Sophomore: Youngstown State is one of the closest universities to home. It is the most comfortable and affordable choice for many students in my area. As far as it being affordable goes, I am one of many who struggle to get any scholarships through this university. This is my ultimate issue with this school aside from the parking situation. After tearing down a whole parking deck, parking at YSU is very chaotic. Being a school that most students commute to and from, you would thing parking would be a priority. However, finding a spot within a 10-minute walking distance proves to be hard every day. I do think this school does a very good job of being inclusive and trying to get students involved. They host many events in the center of campus which is important and highlights the college experience.... Read 1,436 reviews

Junior: The faculty at Otterbein University is amazing. The professors are passionate about teaching students so that they will succeed in whatever feild they go into. Otterbein also has so many opportunities for students to get involved. As a transfer student, finding a group to beling to at school was a little difficult at first. Staff members went out of their way to help me get involved! I came from a predominately online based university, so learning in person is also one of the perks for me. If you want to meet great people, learn from professionals, and be offered resources from student mentors to help you get to where you want to go... Otterbein is for you.... Read 715 reviews

Senior: I am a returning student at The University of Akron. After earning an associate's degree in 2002, I joined the working world. After many, many years away from school, I decided to return for a bachelor's degree. I reached out to an advisor who was extremely helpful. She worked with me to make sure that all of my prior credit hours were applied to my new degree, and worked with me to create a school schedule that would accommodate my full time work schedule. She has been instrumental each semester to ensure that I stay on track to meet my graduation goals! Taking online classes has been much easier than one would expect. All of the professors and instructors are accessible through email, and will meet in person, or teleconference. Email responses are very quick. Everything has made returning to school so much better than I anticipated.... Read 2,931 reviews

Sophomore: I genuinely love attending AU. Everyone, including the professors, is so welcoming and puts emphasis on you as an individual. The professors want to and try to build genuine connections with their students. This being said, each student is assigned to a faculty advisor in their program after their freshman year, which establishes more personal connections. The class sizes are not so small that you feel uncomfortable, but small enough that you don't feel like a number. I wouldn't trade attending Ashland for the world!... Read 791 reviews

It is an amazing and supportive environment. I have made many new friends, the classes are amazing, and the professors are willing to go above and beyond to help you succeed. The only downside to the school is that it is expensive. Even with some scholarships, grants, and loans, I still struggle to afford it. MVNU is my dream school and has been my dream school for many years. Being able to attend MVNU has been the opportunity of a lifetime, I just wish that it was more affordable.... Read 566 reviews

Sophomore: I first chose Capital because it was a calm and inviting vibe. The small classes and having professors personally know you make learning and studying more personal and applied is a great way to retain more information. It’s also a small campus so you get familiar with people quickly which adds to the inviting vibe. Their multitude of resources is also a huge help for almost anything ranging from tutoring to mental health services. Overall, Capital is definitely for those who want small attentive classes and prefer to have a sense of familiarity around campus.... Read 951 reviews

Sophomore: I am a commuting student attending at Tiffin University! The College provides a great educational opportunity for those interested in majoring in Criminal Justice or Forensic Psychology. The campus is relatively small and decorated by brick styled buildings. The school has a great program for those who are a part of music, theatre or art. Those interested in neither sports or the arts may be interested in g-sports for which have their own building as well. In regard to music students they have there own designated building for practice much like any other group on campus. The University also has a variety of options open for athletes. There is a turf stadium, grass game field, gymnasium, indoor lifting center, practice track and outdoor grass and turf practice fields. Among these great options there is also a large building with an indoor track and turf. Overall the school has great teachers, clubs and an abundance of opportunities despite the campuses relatively small size.... Read 672 reviews

Senior: I was not sure what to expect when I enrolled at Central State in 2021. Two years later and I can honestly say it was a great experience. The online program was top-notch and worked well with its two terms per semester to expedite the degrees in high-demand careers, such as education (my major) and criminal justice. I highly recommend this university for anybody looking for a quality college experience at a reasonable price. This school is definitely worth the investment! I would like to see more consistency in the quality of professors. Some of my professors were absolutely amazing and worked well with the online learning. Others seemed to struggle, and it hurt the quality of the classes. However, in the end, the demands from the courses were reasonable, and the professors truly care about you as a student....
