The majority of students are not too bright (but very affluent) and have little interest in challenging coursework. The greek scene is huge and binge drinking and drug use are rampant. The professors water-down information and spoon-feed their students, lowering everything to the lowest intellectual common denominator (and believe me, at OWU that's very low). I was amazed that some of the people there even got accepted...though I shouldn't have been; OWU's staggeringly high acceptance rate allows in people who couldn't even get into Ohio State. I would be very suspicious of claims that people from OWU can go onto Harvard -- most people I met there were more interested in drinking than grad school. Also, if you look at the backgrounds of the professors, you won't see many who got their doctorates from presigious schools. Second-rate faculty teaching third-rate students -- ugh! Please do not go to this school! You will come to despise it as much as I do! Social Life: A+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

Almost anyone can get accepted here, and hence there are lots of people who clearly don't belong in an academic setting. The school has a very poor reputation, and almost no one goes on to attend a prestigious graduate program. This place is fine for people who had a C average in high school, and whose sole ambition for college is to have a good time. The serious student should look elsewhere. And if you're REALLY smart, like a valedictorian or a National Merit Scholar, definitely don't go here. You will be bored and miserable. This is a school for underachievers, and is universally regarded as such. Social Life: A+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
