The Ohio State University has been my dream post-secondary school since I first heard and laid eyes on it during junior high school. One of the happiest days of my life was finding out that I was accepted into the school. Living on campus for the past school year has been an englihting experience for me and a reminder of why I think the university is so great. The professors clearly love their work and wish to express this feeling onto their students. The campus offers a wide variety of resources and activity centers: from the RecreatioN & Physical Activity Center(RPAC) to Counseling and Consultation Services to your personal career and academic advisors, the university does all it can to help students maintain a healthy mind and body while attending school. I would highly recommend coming to The Ohio State University as it is in my opinion one of the best schools in the country to pursue whatever your heart desires!
The Ohio State University is well known by many for the outstanding athletic department. However, there is much more to Ohio State than just athletics. The Columbus campus offers a wide range of areas to study with academic advisors who are more than willing to help students with any questions. In addition, every student is offered free academic coaching for studying strategies or specific course tutoring. The Columbus Campus may seem colossal at first, but there are plenty of student organizations/committees to make the campus seem a lot smaller. Of course I could not forget to include the football culture. The amount of pride Ohio State fans have for their team is unreal. During football season, students are able to de-stress while supporting the best team in the land! Overall, my experience at Ohio State has been phenomenal, and I could not have picked a better school to attend.
The Ohio State University is very school spirited which brings a lot of diverse students together. The Columbus campus offers academic advisers who are more than willing to help students with any questions. In addition, every student is offered free academic coaching for studying strategies or specific course tutoring. There are many student organizations. The experience at Ohio State is phenomenal. Go Bucks!
