I am now going into my senior year and I can truly say that these past four years have been the best years of my life. I have met the most amazing people and have received an excellent education. Although, OU is a "party school" students definitely need to study and manage their time. I think for most students the motto is "work hard, play hard." No matter what school you go to you need to put the effort forth to enhance your educational experience. Students who succeed at OU have internships, are members of clubs, and study often. I loved OU and would suggest it to most people. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B+ Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

It's not like its in your face all day and night whether you want it there or not. Additionally as an African American, the subculture is not like that at all. There's plenty of fun and nightlife for the minority community, but it's not at all out of control. As for the psychology program, I did quite well finishing with 3.8 in psych. Many psych majors did not do that well. Not to sound arrogant or anything, but don't take that GPA to mean its a not a difficult program. It's not ridiculous, but its not easy either. I was recruited right on campus as a research assistant at Cincinnati Children's. I graduated on a friday and my first day of work was the following Monday. There were resources and opportunities made available to me personally to go right into grad school, but I wanted to work first (i'm in grad now GWU). OU is what you make it, it doesn't make you. I narrowed down to OSU or OU. I chose OU because it was smaller, professors were more accessible and OSU's campus and people couldn't hold a candle to OU. In the pscyh department the professors are great and research experience is a part of the curriculum. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Faculty Accessibility: C- Have a Question?

Students here have dreams, big dreams. Some of my peers will go on to accomplish goals larger than life. We had a noble prize winning alum just last year, and one esteemed alum donated over $100 million to the deparment of engineering my freshman year. (No thats not a typo, it's the largest donation to a public university). However, some people that get in here could apply themselves better but choose not to; but I've never met anyone here that shouldn't be in college. It's up to you. If it's up to you, why is this the place of all places to go? Ohio University is college in it's purest form, in all its party school, late-night library study session, Saturday afternoon football, college Republicans/Democrats/protesters/outdoor clubs glory. Ohio University has one of the most beautiful public school campuses in the nation and it is an hour and a half from the capital of Ohio. This means it's the best kept secret in the Midwest. No one comes here unless they're supposed to be here. There's no traffic, you don't need a car. There are no highschool kids, or even worse highschool dropouts cruising around campus. You know the two homeless people by name because one's so good at piano and the other sucks at violin. This campus belongs to the student like no other. The recreation centers, library, sports complexes, classrooms, and housing are all within walking distance. No shuttle buses needed.Come visit, you'll fall in love. Come to school here and it'll be the best money you've ever spent. Individual Value: A+, Surrounding City: C Have a Question?
