While there are problems with some people and some faculty, overall the school is very friendly and most faculty are genuinely concerned with helping students learn which, in my opinion, says something great about this university because of its extremely large size. A large number of companies recruit on campus and the degree is well looked upon.

this has been a great school although the classes could be made a little more challenging. research avenues are aplenty and that is the most important thing for a graduate student. although i accept the qualms of the undergrad student body who have strong comments about the in ability of (international) grad students to communicate the subjects clearly (which is a handicap in any large university with a diverse student body) , i think they have a lot of opportunity to learn and also get research experience because of the vast resources available unlike other places.

As a teacher who earned her BA in education at OSU, returnining for grad school was a nightmare. Advisors suggest the wrong courses, too many of the master's courses in education are offered during the day while we are teaching, the classes are taught either by people who have never actually taught in ca ral classroom outside of the university or by someone who taught 20 years ago for two or three years and the classes had no relevance to the teaching world. Courses were contanlty cancelled, moved or never offered. They constatnly changed requirements so a class that worked two yeras ago that you were told to take, was sno longer accepted. I lefft and finished my degreee in Administration elsewhere.

Administrative bureaucracy is tiresome when a problem arises. The state workers are masters at passing the buck which leaves you going in a circle, from person to person, to resolve a probem. The atheletics events are very worthwhile to attend and surprisingly the arts scene is very good too. The Short North Arts district is adjacent to the University and downtown Columbus is very closeby. Students always seem a bit disconnected and in their own world. There is a lot of apathy on the undergraduate level. Graduate level classes have been generally good with an occasional poor professor.
