Ummm I think you guys covered just about everything. Except I think that they are pushing to hard for McDavis to be in office again. They seriously need to review him before signing him for another term.

Amanda

Ohio University is a great school all around, just be ready to be thrust into a full fledged college community where the city of Athens really is Ohio Unversity.

First off, I'm doing this survey for Bush Hall's Hall Council. College is hard. If your professor says you should be doing an hour of homework for each hour spent in class it's true. Going to class is important, try not to skip. It's very tempting to do so but it hurts you in the long run. Doing your homework and readings is probably the most important thing to do in college. Even if your homework isn't collected you should still do it, otherwise it may screw you over later on.

I live in Bush Hall, a quiet study dorm on East Green that exclusively houses freshmen. It's home to students in the Difficult Dialogues group, a project of the Ford Foundation, dedicated to teaching the members how to have the hard talks (religion, race, sexuality, etc.) outside of class. Next year I hope to stay on East in another quiet dorm, as the atmosphere in this part of campus is great.

If you come to OU, request Bush Hall on the East Green. I live here and it is my new home. I'm going to miss it next year.

The weather is crazy in the Appalacian hills!!! It can be sunny, rainy, and thunderstorm-y in one day! In APRIL, we had a hailstorm! Pack anything and everything, because this weather is unpredictable.

True House

Ashley

Ohio is a really great school and I adored my four years there. While I wish they were a bit more challenging academically and while I wish the majority of the student body was a bit more studious and much less irresponsible, I still loved every single day I spent there. I completed this survey for BUSH hall.

I'm from True House. OU is a great community to be in and I'm thrilled that I came here. I was not too excited about going to school like most of my friends, basically because I was sick of studying, but I wouldn't trade my experience here for anything. Yes, sometimes I hate having to stop socializing and go study, but the experience overall is worth it.

There are several keys to having a good time at OU. The first and most important is to find your people, or your niche or however you want to put it. It's tough to have great experiences by yourself, unless you have some amazing imagination and your invisible friends keep you entertained or whatever. The second key, which may be an obvious one, is to get out and do things! Break into the Ridges one night, it's spooky and fun (although I would advise you to not do it around Halloween - it's more fun on a random night when no one's around). Go away for weekend trips occasionally; Athens can be great, but it is rather isolated, and it really is great to get away for a bit and spend time with friends. Take advantage of all of the activities the university offers - we have a great student center called Baker, there are comedians and concerts and movie nights. I may sound lame or whatever saying it, but believe me, you can still have a great time without drinking (plus you'll actually remember it and not be sick the next day). Don't be a person who goes home every weekend - you miss out on a lot; be independent, and don't cling to home or your high school days or whatever - college is about growing up and moving on. A word of caution, though: don't forget what you came here for, which is to learn. You can learn things both inside and outside of class, so take it all in. And take it from someone who's made some mistakes in her first year here - keep on top of your classes! Sometimes it sucks, but it is an education you're paying for here, so play...just not too much. *I'm from TRUE HOUSE!!*
