There is no one kind of person who should attend this school. When thinking of the Ohio State University, one imagines students primarily involved with Greek life, who care only about football and drinking. While those people are definitely here, they are not the majority.

This is not the school for anyone that thinks college is ONLY about having a good time and having an easy ride to getting a degree. OSU has a reputation to live up to and is not going to keep anyone that is even about average learning.

Karie

I think any kind of person can attend this school, but they should be focused.

Brittney

Someone who doesn't need a lot of close attention from professors, but appreciates the option of approaching a professor when needed. Someone who can handle a large campus, a large variety of courses, clubs, and activities. There are so many things to do on campus, so if you don't know what you want to do yet, which most people don't, you don't have to. You can try just about everything. And if you try it and don't like it, you can try something else, it's what they call an 'undecided' major.

The kind of person that should attend this school is a person who is acdemically driven student who wants to be social. Ohio State is very focused on getting students to pass and getting them set for their careers in whatever field that may be.

So any person looking to go into engineering should come here to get a taste and see if it's really what they want to do.

A person with a strong ambition to learn academics and time management should attend OSU. There are a great many professors of noteworthy status that will challenge one's academic abilities. In addition, college is a time of personal exploration and a time of learning to function on one's own. Time management skills are a must because of the need to balance academics with the myriad of campus activities like football games, intramural sports, volunteer opportunities, etc. Ultimately, anyone seeking to further one's education should seriously consider The Ohio State University.

Really really book smart people and really really rich people. Especially the rich part. School is automatically 100 times harder when you have to do all your financial aid by yourself. And what classes to take there is no direction offered here. all you are is a number not a individual.

Sirena

People that want a place where there is always something to do and someone to talk to. There is no shortage of clubs, activities and classes to cater to every interest. The campus may be big, but once you find your niche, it can feel like the smallest campus in the world. There is an abundance of food choice, living arrangements based on interest, and classes in every imaginable topic. I would recommend OSU to anyone who is not scared to put themselves out there and have to make friends and find their place.

Ashley

I think anyone who loves a challenge academically, a person that loves sports, or just someone looking for a variety of people should attend this school.

No matter what race, ethnicity, gender, or personality we have at Ohio State is the perfect campus to welcome diversity. Recently Ohio State welcomed students from China during the Olympics for them to experience a quarter abroad. It was very interesting to see other students dedication in their education and in The Ohio State University. Though some may think we are focused only around football, OSU offers many opportunities for to follow your dreams.

Anyone that wants to get the best college experience should attend The Ohio State University. There are so many groups and clubs to join that anyone can find the right crowd for them.

There are so many other things to do and no one should be scared awaya by that reputation.

Katie

Someone who is open to meeting new people from all walks of life

Jenna

Ohio State really is a school for anyone. It's size is almost daunting to some when they visit, but I loved realizing that I could make my social circle as big or as small as I wanted to. There's always something exciting happening both on and off campus, and Columbus has a ton of culture to offer as a city to augment your experiences. While academically challenging, this school is aware of people's needs and no matter how shy or outgoing you are, you can find people who understand you and things you will love.

Jessica

Any individual who is fun-loving, and can't live without football should attend The Ohio State University. You must be a strong-willed person and stand firm in your values so as not to be swayed by others and their 'extra curricular' activities. If you love meeting new people, and enjoy larger classes, this campus is the best place for you. Professors are accomodating, and the campus is friendly!
