Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Finance  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment 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.

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.

If you do not get in initially, anyone with a 3.5 can apply for admission in their first year. Social Life: A+, Innovation: B+ Have a Question?

People told me that the change would be jarring, that the size of Ohio St. would be overwhelming, that I'd hate it, blah blah. Boy were they wrong. Ohio State really is a "top tier" public university. I seriously believe that an undergraduate at this school will get an education equal to that at Berkeley, William & Mary, Virginia, UNC, etc. The facilities are top notch and the faculty tends to be very good. I've yet to come into contact with a lackluster professor. The departments in which I spend most of my time (history and political science) are PHENOMENAL. Internationally renowned scholars abound in both. You're learning from the best at an institution like this. I have not once felt like I've been treated as a number. People who say that are either insecure or just bluffing. Professors are always available and advisement staff are very helpful. The campus is beautiful. Plenty of austere brick buildings, a gorgeous new library nearly complete, lots of green space, etc. Maintenance is top notch too. Columbus is not a bad place to be for college. Sure, it's not D.C. or Chicago, but it's the best city in Ohio and probably the second-best college town in the Big 10. Lots of artsy stuff, concerts, exhibits and bars. If you're willing to get off your ass you'll find something to do. Perhaps most importantly, OSU has the second-biggest alumni network in the entire country. It is a very recognizable name and every potential employer I've spoken too loves to say, "Oh yeah, I worked with a great guy from Ohio State" or "my boss went to Ohio State, he's doing really well for himself." While not an Ivy degree, it does carry a good amount of weight and should open doors after graduation. In short, this is a great public university. I like it here so far and am looking forward to having some good memories after my undergraduate career. Don't be intimidated by the size, I promise you will not be just a number.
