Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

The diversity in my school as well as very knowledgable faculty members. Although my major in particular is suffering with overwhelming amounts of students and low faculty numbers, the professors that are available really know their area of study. Almost all the professors I have been acquianted with have shown much enthusiasm in their teachings as well. This allows to students to be attentive during class times and become interested/knowledgable during and after taking the class. The diversity amongst the students and teachers allows students to become more culturally aware and accepting.

Ohio University is best known for partying, the Scripps school of journalism, and soon the Global Leadership Center.

Unfortunately, we are best known for being one of the biggest party school is America and for having the biggest Halloween Party. I am not going to lie, the Halloween Party is fun and entertaining and our Fests are a guarenteed good time, but there are plenty of other things to do on campus. Don't think just because you don't drink you cannot come to Ohio University. We have midnight movies on the weekends and comedians that come in weekly. There is always something to do here!

Unfortunetly, alcohol plays a huge part in social activities at OU. It's probably best known for its party school status.

The only thing this school is known for is partying/drinking

Ohio University has a nationally-renowned school of journalism, education and exercise science. But it also has a party-school reputation because of the big Halloween celebration and the street fests during Spring Quarter.

Engineering and Halloween Party

Unfortunatly, OU is best known for its party school reputation. More often than not, I am asked about the party scene than my academic experience - even on job interviews! While the university is trying hard to rid itself of this reputation, I think a better course of action would be to focus more on the academics where it would cast a shadow over the less than flatering reputation.

Our School of journalism is one of the best in the country, otherwise probably the fact that we are consistently a highly ranked party school.
