BGSU was not one of my top college picks. I had been rejected from other choice institutions and randomly discovered it while browsing on college rating sites. The application process is extremely easy and acceptance rates are extremely high. Since coming here, I have come to love campus. They provide many activities to take part, however Bowling Green is a poor excuse for a college town. I have encountered times when I've been criticized for not wanting to go out and drink.
You don't have to be an upperclassman to get involved. As a first-semester freshman, I had the opportunity to get hands-on experience on major-related fields straight way. Several things are currently happening to the institution. You will experience cracked sidewalks and stairs while walking around campus. Heating units at bus stops are either inefficient or broken and the electricity company responsible for it refuse to fix the problem. Lack of funding to the University has caused diminishing bus services, cut funds to student organizations, future dining service cutbacks, and the end of rollover food funds for students, among other things. | Collaboration/Competitive: A, Surrounding City: C- |  | | |

| Quite Bright | The school is great. Students and faculty are very helpful. The students need to be open-minded, however, to get the full BGSU experience. | Innovation: A+, Surrounding City: B |  | | |

| Quite Bright | The school isn't perfect; it is pretty much a typical midwest university. There are lots of ways to get involved if you want to, but you have to go find your place. In general people are nice, and I hear that people are more approachable at BG than other campuses. There are many groups of people at the campus so I think everyone can find their place. | University Resource Use: A+, Scholastic Success: B+ |  | | |

BG is a good, not great, school. It was just about perfect for my situation. I attended public schools in Toledo, Ohio, was an above-average but not great student, and was not sure what I wanted to do with my life. I really thrived at BG and went on to a successful career.
The best thing about BG is that it offers a very wide range of majors, but isn't an academic pressure-cooker. Students are able to try a lot of different things without fear of flunking out. (There are technical courses but no engineering program, which is a drawback for geeks like me.) The few really good students got a lot of attention from the faculty, who often assigned special projects or formed clubs to keep the best students interested.
Brilliant, highly-motivated students should probably go somewhere else; the level of challenge just isn't very high, because BG is not hard to get into. Also, it helps if you're into Greek life or just goofing off and drinking in general; the social life was a bit lacking otherwise. The town of Bowling Green is small and somewhat dull. The sports programs are good, and Division I football, basketball, and hockey often bring big-name opponents to campus. In general, BG is a good school if you're a reasonably serious student, want a good eduction, are fairly sociable, and don't want a lot of academic pressure. Among the public universities in Ohio, I'd say it's slightly above average. | Starting Job: Materials Engineer, Preparedness: B+, Reputation: B- |  | |
