Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright If you receive anything from this school during admission process, save it. If they tell you how your previous credits will transfer, save it. They told me that my Japanese would transfer as Japanese 101, 102, and 103. Turns out that without the letter, they couldn't give me the credit. Not to mention that if you are a type two from attending other colleges, OSU will still treat you as a freshman but deny you stuff like freshman forgiveness. Be prepared for people working jobs that they don't know how to do. Lose your buck ID and you're screwed. The dorm staffs don't know what they are doing and most likely the temporary cards are demagnetized. The dorm staffs have had this problem before, but they don't do anything to remedy it. Double check everything twice. If you aren't dirt poor, don't expect work-study and don't expect to get a job on campus outside of Ohio State Calling or food service for the first year. Everything is work study except those two and the occasional lab job that requires you to be a sophomore or junior. Bikes get stolen a lot on campus and some TAs don't care or have no idea what they talking about. Then my sister also had an experience where she was told she could graduate and she received her diploma. A few days later she was told that she did not have enough credits to graduate so she made an appointment with her counselor. Turns out that she had graduated. It would be nice if the school could get their information straight. Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

However, I would not have come here if I knew the trouble of transferring credits from post-secondary options. Anything the university sends you in regard to your credits, save it. If they tell you something in regards to scheduling or your major, write it down along with the person's name and date. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question?

First the negative comments: The Math program at that time was horrible. Even the professors said the Math program was good only if you took it twice. No thanks! But I did finish. I did run into professors that spoke weak English, especially the Math professors, but you will find that at any university. It made me work harder reading my textbook, and some of my best grades were in those classes. I had a hard time finding a good advisor. At first I put up with it. But part of my education was growing up and standing up for myself. I complained to my college until I got an advisor I was satisfied with. It worked. Campus safety or the outlying apartment areas is not good. Common sense is key - don't walk in dark areas alone at night. Don't walk down Pearl Alley at night. Lock your dorm door. There are plenty of apartments with security buzzers. The Internet will have improved the administrative issues in signing up for and changing classes that were a nightmare then. It took all day to change a class. Now for the good things: I never went to a professor's office hours and had he or she not be there as expected. I was always helped. If you think the professor thinks of you as a number, that's your own fault. If I didn't need help, I was quiet and fine with it. I had a few professors take an interest in me and try to talk me into getting a masters in the field. They could have just taught and went home but they didn't. There are resources everywhere. My ex-boyfriend went to Ohio Northern, and I was amazed at the lack of resources at his expensive private school. Even though admissions standards were more lax back then, I was amazed how smart some of the students were. I sometimes felt inadequate but just worked harder. I had an absolutely great time. I have wonderful memories that will last forever. The football games are second to none. Yes, it is a big factor there, but it isn't everything. I had friends there who hated football; I had friends who loved football but not Ohio State football. The other students were extremely friendly. I met a few snobs who thought they were better than everyone else, but that is everywhere. Columbus is a fantastic, under-rated town. I live in Chicago now, and when my youngest graduates high school, I am moving back to Columbus. It is relatively safe, clean, friendly, open-minded, has affordable housing, and has great restaurants. My kids both want to go to OSU. I have to admit I do have them taking Tae Kwon Do now because of safety. Unless you are obsessed with Ivy, an OSU education is widely recognized. There are elite private schools that no one has heard of where students can't find jobs. Employers respect OSU, and it has opened doors for me even outside the state of Ohio.
