Ohio State University-Main Campus

You won't believe the opportunities you have here at Ohio State. There are over 160 academic programs available. I enrolled with an undeclared major, but wasn't nervous about it because ultimately whatever you go into you will be successful. The classes have great professors who can be challenging but are here to help you become the best.

Ohio State makes learning interesting. With an intelligent, research-experienced staff, students have the opportunity to learn relevant information from people who have been there, done that, so to speak.

Ohio State has helped me immensely in gaining real world experience for my major. I am in early childhood education and within the first couple weeks there I obtained a job at Ohio State's Child Care Program. In your first year at Ohio State you will take a survey class that will help you with scheduling classes, deciding on and applying for a major/minor, how to use the resources available at OSU (such as library databases), and how to adjust to life on campus. While this class will help you with the start of your college career, it is up to you as a student to determine how your college years will go.
Ohio State has helped me to grow as a person and a student. In high school, I had my parents around, consistently telling me to get my work done, checking up on my grades, etc. Now I live at school, two hours away from them and I have to motivate myself to get my work done, study and get good grades. Ohio State will not completely throw you to the wolves with no help but they will not hold your hand either. When I graduate from OSU, I am confident that I will be ready for the real world and ready to find a job right after graduation.

The teachers here are true professionals. They are experts in their respective fields, and really take the time to make sure you understand the material. The TA's are also very helpful; having just completed the course only a little while ago, they can relate to students and explain things in an easy manner.

Ohio State is it's own small world. Once you get involved, which is a must, you cannot walk across campus without seeing someone you know. From academics to sports, Ohio State is an excellent school with long standing tradition.

Faculty and staff here are really knowledgeable about whichever subject they are teaching. Though some classes are rather large, there are still ways to get help. A larger class size made me more independent and reliant on my note-taking abilities.

All of my teachers so far have been excellent. I have learned a lot in all of my classes. The professors really know how to make even the most boring material interesting.

This university has some of the best research, academic, and knowledge growth opportunities in the country. The learning goes way beyond the classroom, the lecture hall, and the library. The best learning here is found with classmates in a coffee shop studying for an exam together, through discussions after class, and through the experiences gained at such a beautiful campus. The lecturers develop new ways of teaching students, not just from book reading, but from adapting information into hands-on learning. I have gained not just an academic education, but a wealth of knowledge that I can keep after graduation.

Ohio State was originally the last school I wanted to go to, just because I lived so close and the size was so intimidating. However, after my college tour I fell in love and now it is home. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else and can't imagine going to any other college.

Yes, I am learning so much here. Although we are ran on a quarter schedules with only ten weeks to teach a subject it is manageable. As a freshman just finishing her first quarter, when I started to go to class I thought I was going to at least no some things, but I didn’t know anything. So I really had to pay attention and go to class or I would miss valuable information. I’m glad to be going to a school that challenges me and not as easy as my high school. This quarter I received a 3.4 and I’m really happy. I feel that the information taught here I can really use in the work force when I graduate.
