OU is known as a party school but it is a good place to get a good education too. Class size is OK.

An outgoing, enthusiastic person who enjoys getting to know the people around them. Someone who has many great values and who are goal oriented. Being able to balance drinking and learning doesn't hurt either. And while many people do drink, you do not have to in order to enjoy your time at Ohio University.

This school is very diverse. All different types of individuals should attend this school. There are a lot of different majors, groups and social activities around campus. I would most recommend to outgoing individuals looking for a great experience away from home. I am from a small town just an hour away from campus. It was far enough away, but not too far. You must be a hard working individual as well. There are a lot of outside activities that can get in the way of your acedemics, especially if you are a procrastinator.

A person who would like to socialize, have a good time, make alot of friends, and go to school all at the same time.

The ype of person that should attend this school is someone who is focused on academics, but also likes to enjoy themselves. Ohio University is a great school that has a lot to offer both academically and socially.

Anyone who is looking for a small knit community and who is interested in personal growth should attend this school.

ANYBODY who likes to have fun and wants to go to a decent school.

People who are willing to open up to other people viewpoints because there are so many different students and they from all over the country, so when you meet people you have to be willing because they are so much different from whereever you come from. This institution is great for students who love nature, due to the fact that this college does not have a lot of main attraction things such as a big malls or shopping centers, this is a small town college and the college is surrounded by nothing but itself.Overall this is great university.

A liberal, open minded, community oriented, hard-working, fun-loving, social, and young person.

Someone should attend Ohio University if they are interested in a traditional approach to education. The students and professors interact peacefully and theres is a feeling of calm on campus. The party-goers can look forward to mill street and palmer street on the weekends, but the academic person also can look forward to a rich and fulfilling curriculum.

Students at this school are very socially oriented. Anyone who is in communication, journalism, telecommunications, or music therapy would enter into a great program. Other programs are not as strong, and students tend to take the easy classes or what they are required without any extra effort. It is generally about finding something to do beyond McDonald's and making sure that parents' money is well spent.

To go to OU, one has to be able to function in a tiny town with limited stores and limited activities. Also, this person should not bring a decent car unless the suspension is already destroyed or they don't mind ruining it. (They are into preserving the brick roads.) And no, we are not a huge party school even though a lot of people think so and it shows up on somelist. I think that's only because it's out in the middle of nowhere and there's nothing to do. Not everyone parties - but many do regularly.

Someone who like being around a lot of people and having fun but is still okay with a small town type of environment.

A very open, dedicated, and balanced person should attend Ohio University, using his/her dedication and balance to finish the necessary schoolwork to allow the open person to interact with the diverse populations on campus.
