Because Ohio State is so very large, there is quite a variety. You will get a mixture of friendly and helpful professors, but just as many arrogant and unhelpful professors. The entire school is surrounded by what I refer to as the "Ohio State Bubble." Because everything is centered around THE Ohio State University in all of its football glory, I would not be surprised if you could not see the egotistical mania that has absorbed the students. Most of the staff in departments, especially financial aid, do not care. I have found the history department to be extremely helpful, whereas the English department (my former double major) was not at all. To be frank, Ohio State is a research institution. That is all that they are interested in because it will bring more glory to them. BEWARE IF YOU WANT TO BE A TEACHER! MAKE SURE YOU SEE WHAT THEY REQUIRE. SOMETIMES THEY MAKE YOU GET YOUR MASTER'S FIRST AND NO SCHOOL WILL HIRE YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PAY YOU MORE WHEN YOU START!!!! If you are not interested in research, I would advise you to pick another school. Otherwise, it is the best choice in Ohio. Just be careful not to be absorbed and become egotistical like everyone else.

How can OSU be a bubble when it is the single largest campus in the United States, and has the city of Columbus surrounding it? I don't see how your interview makes any sense, considering how many opportunities there are to explore at OSU, academically and extracirricularly. And if you don't like all the school/football spirit, you should have gone to a smaller school, where intercollegiate sports are less important.
