OSU is best known for being a fantasic research based school and of course for its Football.

Molly

Ohio State is best known for academic excellence, thousands of opportunities, and sports. With around 1,000 student organizations, there is something for everyone. No matter what you like to do, there is probably someone here that shares your passion. At Ohio State, the possibilities really are endless.

Obviously, most people know Ohio State for it's Big Ten sports teams and the sheer size of the campus and student body. That being said, most people seem to put the college's academics on the back burner. What people should connotate with OSU first and foremost is its studies; here, there is an opportunity to become anything, and to get a nationally ranked education in doing so! Also, don't worry about big classes and that so-called "lack of individual attention." You'll find that help is around every corner and people root for your success.

Football. OSU's gameday Saturdays in the fall is what the whole campus seems to live for all. Academically we excel in all areas, a draw for me personally was the animal science program and vet school. Since it was originally founded as an ag school there is a lot of history of excellence in that department but pretty much any major has impressive credentials.

Kyra

Ohio State is probably best known for its athletic programs, especially football. Because Ohio State is part of the Big Ten, the football team is very high-profile. Everyone in the midwest knows who Terelle Prior, our quarterback, is, and people come from all over the state to see the Buckeyes play. Because Ohio State is best known for athletics, students unite over athletic competition. We have no time to dislike eachother during Beat Michigan Week because we're too busy hating on Michigan. In short, athletics are what define Ohio State and bring together its students.

Lindsey

Football!

Matt

OSU is best known for football, unfortunately. The medical center and cancer research centers are also very prominent. Other than that, most students seem to be majoring in engineering or biology.

Michelle

Football. I do not think it is possible to go OSU without being engulfed by the overwhelming presence of our football team. While some people choose to dislike Ohio State because of our football team and its history, I believe it helps unite buckeyes under one cry. As buckeyes we shall forever have one belief, that Michigan is not very good at football.

Julia

Ohio State is best known for its research especially in medical fields and for our varsity sports. Our football team in nearly always ranked highly in surveys and is well-respected around the nation. Much like our sports teams, our hospital and its doctors are highly respected as well. I am proud to say that our football team is awesome and love going to the home games and cheering them on in the student section, but I also feel good that if necessary I can get treatment at the medical center from well-respected doctors and surgeons.

The Ohio State University is known for being among the top research schools in the country. There are opportunities everywhere for students looking to better themselves and prepare for the real world.
