What makes Ohio State so unique is the diversity of things that it has to offer to students. The Ohio State University not only has excellent academics, but it also is situated within a city full of interesting and fun things to do, it has over 1000 student organizations in which to participate, it has over 50,000 students on its main campus to get to know, it has small class sizes to facilitate socialization and engagement within the classroom, it has incredible sports programs, and for Ohio residents it costs only $20,000 or so a year to attend.

Ohio State was the largest school that I applied to, yet I felt more welcomed there than any where else. Even though there are so many people in just the undergraduate class, the school makes it easy for you to get involved and to find a place where you belong.

My three options of schools were Ohio State, University of Cincinatti, and Ohio University. After visiting OSU, I fell in love with the campus. It was an amazing feeling thinking that I could potentially be a student there. Ohio State also stands high above the other two considerations academically. My biggest deciding factor was the fact that the Ohio State Fisher College of Business is one of the top Business schools in the nations. Ohio State was by far more appealing to me than UC and OU.

The first thing that really the number of programs they offer, including the scholars programs, of which I am involved in now. The International Affairs program at the Ohio State University has accepted me, and shown me programs in which I'm interested in declaring as my major (International Relations). The foriegn language department is also really something to brag about. I have always been interested in learning Korean, and this is the only university I found in Ohio that does offer Korean. Another thing was the diverse, friendly environment on campus. It feels really homely here.

The school spirit here is ridiculous.

Being a buckeye is such a priviledge! Everyone is estatic about this place and we all truly love being here. At Ohio State there are unlimited opportunites for education, whatever you want we have it. The clubs and student organizations have something for everyone and are always welcoming to new members. I have looked at so many schools and even chose to go to Southeastern University in Florida last year because I thought it was the right fit for me. I was very wrong though because Ohio State has everything I could ever ask for and more in a school!

OSU is extremely diverse with students coming from all over the world. There are many people to meet who are different then me and it's interesting. This school is also really large, one of the largest in the nation. Being so spread out and with so many people who go here can make it seem a little intimidating. The sense of community at OSU is so different from other schools and makes me feel comfortable. Even being out of state, I have been able to connect with OSU andmake many friends from all different backgrounds and feel at home.

The large scale of The Ohio State University is fairly unique--it is one of the largest universities in the country. Consequently, it does not excel in only one aspect, as many other universities do. No matter one's major, he or she can be assured a top-notch education that will prepare them for a future career.

The thing I love about Ohio State that I wouldn't have had at any of my other college choices is the sheer number of study abroad, and internship opportunities along with so many events to attend. I was surprised with the amount of emails I have received informing me about these opportunities. It is as though Ohio State places them in your lap. This is largely due to the university's large size and is something I wouldn't have gotten had I attended another university.

School spirit is at a premium at Ohio State. On gamedays it is like nothing I have ever seen, the unity the students display is out of this world. When singing "Carmen Ohio" every student feels a strong attachment to one another and the values they represent by attending this university. Integrity, knowledge, and love is what we represent and we live and breathe it everyday. Stepping into The Horseshoe on a football Saturday will captivate any student or alumni from Ohio State as they see everything they've lived for inside one stadium.
