Ohio State University - Main Campus Reviews

"My years at Ohio state were some of the best years of my life. The friends I met there are still women I keep in touch with. Each time I return to campus I get so excited. I have so many happy memories of each and every place on the campus. I now live in South Carolina and am so proud to share my love of Ohio state. Go buckeyes. I hope you are as happy at Ohio state as I was."

"Being uncertain of my professional field of study, I wanted to be sure if "plan A" didn't pan out (which it did not), that I would be attending a university that I could easily pick up and execute a "plan B". The size of the university provided a real life picture and prepare me for working in a competitive working world would be! It won't going to be a cake walk. Regarding extra curricular activities and clubs: If it wasn't currently offered as a club--as long as you had 3 people who also wanted to do this activity--the university would sanction the group as a "club". The diversity of, and level of excellence in all areas of extra curricular activities is beyond what any unsuspecting freshman could fathom."

"Loved my area of study , the college of agriculture although at a big university was a smaller family like group. Which made going to a city after growing up in a small town much easier to handle. The professors were easy to find when you needed help , my advisor was always willing to help with class choices and academic advice. My degree has helped me open my own agriculture facility which I absolutely love."

"As a Ford Fellow I received a Masters of Arts so I was prepared to administrate in an Urban District. The program was excellent since I was able to work side by side with national recognized educational leaders who were the professors in educational administration. Our program was one of the top leadership programs in the country. I followed that work up six years later by earning my Ph.D in Educational Leadership. Once again by working for the University, I built life long friends with my professors and fellow students. the placement service and the networks of the professors led me down a professional career path that was absolutely amazing. These experiences were priceless."

"Ohio State offers so many majors. You will find something that fits your dreams and visions. I have been to many college fairs and have looked at other schools and what they offer. It was great seeing Ohio State offer so many majors. Not only are there wonderful opportunities for getting your degree, but also other activities on campus. There are sports, clubs to join, so many people to connect with, it's amazing!"

"I had the best experience at Ohio State. As an alumni who graduated 10 years ago, I still remain very involved in the university. I assist at college fairs and sit on the board of their alumni club in my area. Ohio State provides amazing networking opportunities. They prepare you for the future and give you a brand name that you can stand behind. Go Bucks!"

"Proud to be a graduate of The Ohio State University. A well recognized and respected college that prepares you for life's challenges. You'll always run into former students and fans across the globe. Many times I've been out walking and heard "O-H" to which the reply is "I-O". The people I went to school there with have become life long friends - a wonderful experience."

"Attending The Ohio State University provided me with a great experience, both academically and socially (and of course football wise). I have made connections with fellow students, staff, and mentors that assist me to this very day. The education and support provided to me, has helped to ensure my current flow of progress and success. One of the proudest moments of my life was graduating from The Ohio State University. It would definitely be my top choice if asked by someone else or if I decided to continue my education further."

"While Ohio State is a large university it has carrying faculty and staff who want to see their students succeed. The professors within my major were approachable, knowledgeable, caring, and professional. The department of student life is excellent in the services it provides its students and is a wonderful department to work for. As an employee for the department of student life I was able to schedule around classes and given ample opportunities to develop as a professional. The university has a special place for each student who attends classes on its campus."

"I had an outstanding college experience at Ohio State. My advisors were helpful, the professors were well prepared and supportive. I was able to be successful with a great group of fellow students. We assisted each other in study groups, project groups and support groups."

"I loved everyone within my program. The professors and teachers within the department were great. The staff in the department were always friendly and helpful. Use the resources available even if you don't think you need the help, it's always better to ask."

"OSU was great! It offered us opportunities to see the world, interact with diverse populations and on- and off-campus interactions that built my life into what it is now. The benefit of enrolling in OSU was that you could make your impact on such a huge population wherever you wanted and however you wanted. Regardless of the fact that you had 50,000 other people, you always had a chance to leave your legacy at Ohio State."

"My college experience was fantastic. The program at The Fisher College of Business was outstanding. The faculty was world-class. They had relevant business experience and were fantastic teachers as well. Thanks to Ohio State I have had many great opportunities."

"The Ohio State University was literally the best I could have made for the combination of academic, social, and varsity athletics. My college experience exposed me to cultures and people that span the world and birthed lifelong friends that I cherish to this day. The College of Arts and Sciences provided me with a degree that is recognized and respected around the world."

"OSU was one of the best experiences of my life. I studied at Fisher College of Business and it opened so many doors. I am 8 years out of college and in my dream job as the Director of Marketing. I met friends and collgueges that I am eternally grateful for. O-h"

"I found the department of French and Italian, and Ohio State to be an awesome place for graduate education. It still is and it was then. Faculty were available, friendly, highly well-regarded researchers and inspiring. Graduate students had ample opportunities to teach at various undergraduate levels and that experience was invaluable when I was in the market for a first tenure-track job In addition, there were some funds available for research during the summer, opportunities to teach in the summer if you wanted and a good and friendly cohort of graduate teaching associates. In addition, Columbus is a great city, great art community, great glbqa community and great place for good restaurants and a variety of venues for fun, sport and relaxation."

"Both the political science and philosophy departments have professors being published at the top of their fields which is great for having access to the latest most competent information. In the political science department I experienced what I consider to be innovative coursework for the Bachelors level. Courses included a simulated political game over one quarter. A full course on identity politics. And plenty of references in various courses to competing theories. In the philosophy department, the lower level courses focus on giving students a grounded background in where philosophy has been. Also, philosophy professors in my experience had a greater focus on teaching compared to the political science department. I had a really great time and challenge in upper level epistemology courses. Overall, Ohio State has what you want. There are sports fanatics, artists, foodies, OUAB, and everything else you could want. The challenge is finding what you want and auditing your experience so that you don't keep doing things you find sub-optimal. Nothing including your schedule or degree plan is fed to you. But, if you are meticulous about it you can accomplish great things. And the alumni network is superb."

"The university exposed me to the entire range of people, rich and not-so-rich, very bright and some average, but we learned together how to live together for a few years and to understand our role in business and in the community. It also taught the importance of teaming."

"Perfect program for me. Prior to doing this MS I was working in the field as a commercial fisherman and the degree program helped me learn what was available to choose from , helped me get a job and basically set me up on a career path - 25 years at Michigan State University. I had a prior BS in business and the MS focused my thinking more so coupled with the field time I was ready. Hindsight tells me that OSU was and likely still is a great place to find yourself."

"Even though it has been years, I will never forget my time at Ohio State. Many say it's too large of a university, but I feel it's only as big as you make it. I will add though that you have to take lots of initiative to get what you want. But in the end, it's totally worth it. I always feel at home whenever I visit. Plus, those football tickets are calling your name!"
