Review of Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute
from Wooster, OH
Describe your college in three sentences.
The Agricultural Technical Institute is a school that one should be proud to attend. The experience, relationships, and knowledge that you gather here does not compare to anywhere else. The atmosphere is so different than any other school because it is in a rural area.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Prospective students should know that this is the number one school in its field in the United States. The knowledge that you can gain at this school needs to be taken advantage of and put to good use. The professors here know what they are talking about and they really prepare you for life and your career goals as well as your personal goals.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics at this school require you to think and apply yourself. The way that the information is presented requires you to find the answers to your own questions, which makes you feel like you've learned and accomplished something.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms on campus are really nice. They are actually apartments and they are very spacious. There is a full kitchen and living room, as well as a dining room. The housing directors and room advisors actually plan a lot of activities in order to create a more diverse and social group. Students on campus are very close.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at Cafe Carmen is actually very delicious. There is a wide variety of choices and they are all very tasty and consistent. The only complaint that I have is that some meals are a little pricey. If you plan on eating there frequently, you should definitely get a meal plan.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
For fun, the housing directors hold a lot of events in the community room. Movie nights and game nights are pretty common here. Also, there is a student activities center with workout equipment, basketball court, tennis courts, etc. The students on campus also enjoy having bonfires in the fire pits behind the dorms. There are many events held by clubs on campus as well. Getting involved in clubs is a really nice way to meet people, get involved, and take a break from studying as well.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I personally did not get a meal plan. Because there is a lot of kitchen space, I normally go grocery shopping and eat food that I prepare at home. This saves me a lot of money. I have also found that there are many majors with only a class or two of difference. I am getting 2 degrees for the price of 1! I would look into that if you are planning on going here as well. It's well worth it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We have a burn out contest every year where people do burnouts with their big trucks. It's really cool. We also have mud volleyball, zombie nation nerf gun war, and we love roping out back!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who want to have fun while being in school would love this school. Also, if you are interested in agriculture whatsoever as a career. This school also has very small classes. It is comparable to a high school class size and you get a lot of one on one attention with the professors.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many clubs that this school has to offer. There is a club for just about every major and they even go beyond that. The best part is, you can start your own club as long as you have enough people.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
This campus is very safe. It is in a rural area which is nice because it is pretty quiet. Also, we have our own campus police department. The fire station is also right down the road as well as the highway patrol. Needless to say, there are very few problems on campus.
