Ohio University has a BEAUTIFUL campus. Sports aren't a huge deal, students always have school spirit and attend sports such as basketball, volleyball and football. We are the 5th ranked party school in the nation. Even though we are known for our drinking, our academic standings are through the roof as well, "Smart Drunks." When it's nice out, students crowd the lawns and paths playing music, cornhole, football, or just laying on a blanket talking to your friends. OU never seems as big as it really is, its easy to fit in and become apart of the family.

Most activities on campus involve drinking,you have to work hard to find a group a friends who like to do things other than drink.

Great Parties, people, atmosphere, weather, and great education. There is always something to do and it is cool.

When I talk to my friends about Ohio University, I always mention the great atmosphere of the school. This is in part to the beautiful school buildings and brick roads throughout the Appalachain town of Athens. It's almost like stepping back through time in a sense. But this atmosphere goes way beyond the small town physicalities. There is also a feeling of genuine friendship among students. From the classroom to block parties, everyone seems to be interested in making friends and having a good time with however may be around, be it friend or stranger.

There is a close-knit community at Ohio University. Everyone who attends feels they belong to something bigger than themselves. Everyone loves to have a good time on weekends, and are usually welcoming to new experiences/people. OU is a great place to go to school.

My school has a very high number of bars which students often brag about. We also have a nationally ranked Journalism school. The thing students probably brag about the most concerning OU is our Halloween party, being a nationally ranked party school, and our fests during the spring.
Christopher
The atmosphere of the school. It is a great place to learn and has a really great social scene.

The jouralism and communication school at Ohio University, Scripps, is consistently ranked one of the best in the country. I feel great bragging about it because the university is a state school and I know I am getting just as good of an education as I would have attending a more pricey institution. One of the most interesting parts about the school is that students in Scripps arrive expecting to compete. In fact, it is largely the students that push each other to do bigger and better things.
