| Bright | Ohio State University is an overwhelming place to begin your college education. The choices are mind-boggling, the number of students and size of campus make it difficult to navigate without feeling a bit isolated and intimidated. That said, those same traits provide an opportunity for one to become a self sufficient, determined, and responsible adult. I credit Ohio State with this almost entirely. My education in business was also very good, as I have found myself holding my own with ivy-leaguers in my field. However, I thing a smaller university would have suited me better at the time. You have to assess your personal characteristics and ability to fend for yourself. The business school is excellent though if you can handle the lack of attention. | Starting Job: Dispatcher, Preparedness: B+, Reputation: B |  | |

If you're considering going to Ohio State, you've probably already heard it all, so I won't repeat it. For the most part, this University is a hit-or-miss enterprise. Depending on which subject you decide to study, you may get to study and learn under brilliant faculty and be assisted in your learning process by administration that remembers that you, the student, are paying their salaries and hence are actually helpful.
Or you may choose a major where the faculty are indifferent to your intellectual advancement or are too wrapped up in their own research to care about mere undergrads and where the administration are overwhelmed by the number of students to provide any meaningful guidance or are bitter for some reason and are not helpful at all to students.
I know one of the popular defenses for large universities is that because they are so large and anonymous (believe what you hear - you ARE just a number here), you, the student, are forced to distinguish yourself from the rest of the pack. While I agree that applying yourself and manufacturing your own success are critical skills to learn for the rest of your life; often, you will succeed in spite of this University. | Social Life: A-, Individual Value: F | | | |

| Bright | I cannot believe the people who comment negatively about Ohio State and how they prepare students for the real world. Ohio State is the ultimate "real world" experience. By the time you are 18 you don't need someone, let alone an institution, to hold your hand. Go out and do something and experience the environment. If you are on here complaining about your education/social life/amenities, etc go out and do something about it. While you are sitting here ripping a university that has opened doors for thousands upon thousands of people, the students who get the most out of their time here are out meeting people, forming relationships, and figuring out where they want to go in life and ultimately end up happier and more in tune with the way life works outside of the comfort of university life. | Preparedness: B+, Reputation: B+ | | |

| Quite Bright | As with an other college, OSU is what you make of it. Since it is such a huge campus it may mean that you will need to take initiative in seeking out resources, academic help, career guidance, etc. But the great thing about its size is the number of opportunities, extracurricular activities, clubs, traditions, people, etc. There is something for every single student to get involved in something they feel passionate about, so get involved! Coming from a high quality college prep high school, most of the general education classes have been very easy but the upper level engineering classes have been very difficult. If you don't feel challenged enough, chose the honors route, which is comparable to the nation's top notch universities. Basically, there is a solution for any negative comment about OSU but it is up to the student to find his/her best fit and the resources to help them get past any disappointing aspects of the school. | Education Quality: A+, Faculty Accessibility: B+ | | | |
