Ohio State University-Main Campus Top Questions

How well this school does with accomodating people of different interestes. There are so many clubs!

I would wish that i knew better how to study. In high school i did not have to study quite as much as i do now in college.

I wish I would have known how research-based this school is. Most professors are there to do research, not teach you and sometimes during class it shows. There are some truly great professors at Ohio State and others that are obviously not passionate about teaching. Most of the great teachers' names are passed around through word of mouth and have nothing but good ratings on professor rating websites.

I wish that I would have known the importance of getting involved before I came to Ohio State University. College presents so many great opportunites, and if you are not active and do not pursue the future you want, you are wasting a great resource, which you are technically paying for. Organizations, the recreation facilities, library, tutors, and advisors are just some of the great resources that college provides that I believe each student should come in ready to be involved!

I wish i had known more about specific programs, and more about off campus housing options. I also wish I would have known which classes to schedule, what courses to take that would be to the best of my advantage, and about other options, like graduating early or other alternative forms of classes.

I wish I knew that I had to study so much more than I did in high school. I went into my quarter of college still having the mentality that I can get A's without trying that hard. I eventually learned that I had to study probably three times as hard as I studied in high school.

I'm not sure. So far, everything's perfect, but I guess if I had to choose, I think I would've liked to know more about the opportunities on campus.

I wish I had known that OSU is a big party school. I don't know if it was because I was a freshman, but it seemed that all anyone ever talked about was drinking. I personally do not drink alcohol. Because of this, I felt very alone and found it difficult to make friends. However, the friends that I have made are fantastic and were worth the fight.

I wish I had known how important it is to save your money in high school. Upon arrival to the prestigious Ohio State University, I still wasn't aware of how important saving money was. Now I am working very hard to save as much as possible to continue my education, but I am falling short still. Between rent, tuition, groceries, utilities, and other expenses, it is very hard to focus on school work.

That is was so party-sports oriented. I knew ahead of time that those existed obviously, but it's in such a large number that it consumes the school.
