My favorite tradition is how everyone camps out in front of Reser before one of our football games. It's amazing to see how many fans we have, and how many students are proud to be a Beaver!

My favorite campus tradition is the Flat Tail Festival/Battle of the Bands. Annually, in the spring, OSU holds a Battle of the Bands competition on a Friday night. The show is free and it's a great way to learn about new, local, artists. After the winner of Battle of the Bands is determined, that band opens for more well known bands at the Flat Tail Festival. It's pretty awesome. If the weather is nice, it's a great atmosphere and thousands of students attend. It's outside in the quad area of the Memorial Union, and it really is just an amazing time. Dogs are welcome, there is a beer garden, and there are usually other activities to do while you're there.
