Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

Students from all walks of life are at Ohio, and it helps add to the educational atmosphere as well as social. While there are still struggles and misunderstanding with relation to racial groups and LGBT groups, there are more and more events and activities to acknowledge and celebrate the differences among students, and it's really helping to bring everyone together.

There are many groups on campus that include all races, religions, LGBT, and other types of people. There are also lectures all the time about different issues that people may want to learn about. I don't think many students would feel out of place at OU. A lot of students just wear their pajamas or jeans and a t-shirt to class. Classes are very informal when it comes to attire. Most of the students are from Ohio, but there are also many from out of state and other countries. A lot of the students discuss with eachother what they will be doing in the future.

Diverse, mostly white uppermiddle class, but generally pretty tolerant. No- actually more apathetic than tolerant.

they are either full of dumb athletes or stoners.

very accepting and cohesive. lots of emphasis placed on diversity. i've grown a lot as a person during my time here from being exposed to different people

THE CAMPUS ISNT DIVERSE AT ALL WHICH IS MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS AS IF THE NEEDS OF THE MINORITY IS UNDER LOOKED BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO FIX THAT PROBLEM

There are lots of opportunities to get involved I'm a member of CMENC myself

The student body at Ohio is varied. As much as college tends to stray from high school stereotypical cliques, it is easy to differentiate between groups at Ohio. For example, there are the sorority girls, frat guys, environmentalists (hippies), athletes, and so on and so forth. Because of the diverse group of students here, it would be really hard to feel out of place. There is so much to do here. Most Ohio students are from Ohio, mostly coming from Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnatti.

I feel that students of all backgrounds are really welcomed at Ohio. While there is not a ton of diversity, students are still exposed to a wide variety of races, religions, cultures, SES, and sexualities. Most students wear jeans or sweats to class. Sadly, a lot of Ohio's student body is preoccupied with partying and being irresponsible. As someone who was not a big partier, it was really frustrating to hear more people talking about booze and drugs than classes and social topics. Once you weed through all the partiers, though, you find some great people.

there are so many groups that i cant name them all. i am part of the Campus crusade for christ group and love it. this being my first quarter here, iv only had been in th group for a few weeks but they welcomed me and made me feel at home. I also was invited to several invents with them. Also there are several things to do on campus which are lsited on the main webpage and lots of volunteer oppertunities.
