OSU rocks!

Introduction
You really need to be ready to be lost at the biggest school in the country. If you work hard, you can make OSU into a small place, but if you're just going to party, you will never graduate. I chose OSU because I didn't want the typical East Coast school, but academics were important to me. I was in the honors program, which is really first rate. OSU has absolutely everything any student could ever look for from research to sports and clubs.

Campus Life and Social Life
Best: FOOTBALL, plus there is every club you could ever look for... Worst: conservative farmer boys

Weekends are insane, there's more beer here than you will see anywhere else in the world. If you're involved with Greek life, those parties are amazing, too. The area surrounding campus is filled with great bars and restaurants and a brand-new movie theater. A new gym just opened, and it's the best campus gym in the country. They are also currently rebuilding the student union, which should be amazing when it's done. Academics
If you're at all intelligent, you will do fine. Many freshmen get lost in big classes- you should take advantage of tutor rooms and office hours. The honors program is excellent, and it's a great way to make a big school smaller. Professors are amazingly personable if you take the time to talk to them, though most people just don't spend the time. The worst part of OSU is easily chemistry, if your major requires it, get it out of the way as a freshman.

Student Body
The student body is bizarrely diverse. There are many, many conservative Ohio types with blond hair- the same people who go home on weekends to milk their cows. There are also a lot of international students, mostly from Asia. There's a small population of East Coasters and plenty of people from Pittsburgh and Chicago. Only a small group of students join Greek chapters, but Greek life is also vibrant.
