Ohio State University-Main Campus Top Questions

I wish I had know more about how financial issues are here.

The one thing that I wish I knew before I came here was how to use the bus system.

Coming to Ohio State, I wish I would have known how busy the first two weeks would be. From the moment you arrive on campus, there is constantly something to be doing and after a few days packed with Welcome Week activities, it can all quickly become overwhelming. I wish that someone would have told me once Welcome Week ends and you get settled into your classes enough to know where they are without having to look at a map, things calm down. If all of college was as busy as the first two weeks, I wouldn't survive.

I wish I would have known how much walking I would have to do every day!

I wish I would have known what I wanted to major in. Going to college "undecided" was not a good experience for me. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I wish I could go back and tell the high school version of myself to take a year off from school to try to figure out what I wanted to do in college. I also wish I hadn't been so close-minded towards greek life.

I wish I could've visited more often and got a feel of the campus. Also I wish I could've did a transition program to help me settle.

Well I will be in incoming freshman. I have not completed one day at Ohio State yet, so I don't have any words of wisdom quite yet.

People go crazy for Buckeyes games. Like beyond what I thought when people used the word crazy to me in passing. The whole campus area shuts down and becomes this vibrant space of people tailgating lawns, and what might be best described as people moving in herds. Prepare yourself mentally for something crazy.

There is not much else I wish I knew beforehand. After all of the tours I attended I got much sound advice. Of which includes building good relationships with your professors, ask questions, and join some student groups at least one of which is 'outside your comfort zone.'

I wish I would have known how much I would love it there. Making the decision to go to Ohio State was difficult and a lot of guilt was involved. Knowing how happy it would make me would have made the decision much easier.
