Telia - 03/05/2020

The OSU campus in Lima is perfect if you already live near Lima, are majoring in one of the (few) majors you can finish at the campus, or want to spend way less on your first two years before transferring. There aren’t many groups to join and not much to do on campus; most of us go to class and go home. There is housing for students that is not actually through OSU but is nearby, although I found it more expensive than renting an apartment. However, the class sizes are small and the professors are kind and dedicated to their subjects and most of them are extremely understanding if life happens and you have to miss class. The campus is small and is shared with Rhodes State, but it is well-maintained and classes easy to find and walking distances aren’t far.

Ryan - 01/22/2018

I am very happy that my college experience started here at OSU Lima campus. I wanted to start at the main campus, but see in retrospect that the Lima campus was a good choice for me. I really like the small feel of this campus but also the knowledge that I can easily access the resources of the main campus. I really like how much cash I have saved by being able to live in an apartment just off campus. I can make my own meals when I want them and do laundry when I need it; all for MUCH less than I would pay living on campus. OSU Lima was a great choice for me!
