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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I see Ohio State as its own city within the city of Columbus. They have almost any intramural sport you can think of. There are clubs and activities for everyone from all different backgrounds, making it pretty easy to find where you fit in. The diversity of all the students is amazing. You can meet someone with a new story almost everyday. It is as fun as you make it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The price is kind of high, but not unmanageable. In state is cheaper, and with help scholarships, loans, and/or grants it isn't bad at all. You get an excellent education, outstanding experiences, and incredible memories.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1. Get involved in something: a club, sport, organization, church, etc. It is the fastest and best way to meet people.
2. Keep a schedule. There is a lot of freedom here, so its best to balance you academics and your activities.
3. Go to office hours - this is challenging the professor to teach you. Office hours and review sessions are the best places for help (especially in large lectures).
4. Stand out. Network yourself. Meet professors and administrators. Get to know people for who they are, not just what they do. Who you know does matter.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for hard workers who are able to set goals and want to be successful. Also good for those who love to meet new people. The amount of people is overwhelming at first, but you get adjusted to it pretty quickly.
