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 truly a unique experience. The school spirit brings everyone together regardless of differences. Similarly, the school has so much diversity that there truly is something for everyone. You will never feel like you don’t belong.
My years at Ohio State were the best years yet and I’ve made relationships to last a lifetime.
My only complaint is the expense, and that some professors were hard for me to understand due to the diverse cultures. Overall, I received a fantastic education that I am proud to put on my resume. Go Bucks!

I love The Ohio State University because it is a great place to get work done no matter where you are on campus. If you are near the Wexner Medical Center, you can have a seat in the lobby of the beautiful James Cancer Research Hospital. If you are near the Horseshoe (The Football Stadium), the 18th Ave. Library and Thompson Library are not far away. Most libraries around campus stay open very late as well if you are cramming for a test and need to study during normal hours of sleep. The one thing that could improve at the university is the bus system, called CABS, because it is very slow at getting people around campus, especially with the construction going on on Cannon Drive. I am sure the system will improve with the construction finishing up here soon! All in all, I give The Ohio State University a 5 out of 5 stars, I love it here!
