Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
Unique about my school? Easily the diversity of thought that occurs on campus. There is no campus, or even locale, I have ever experienced which is more open to different ways of thinking about, and living, life. You very rarely find people here who are openly intolerant of other people's viewpoints or opinions.

What are the academics like at your school?
It really depends on the teacher. I've had some teachers that bore me to death and I never even really know what they looked like until I turn in my final because I had to sit in the back of the lecture hall everyday. But I had one teacher who noticed that I loved his class by my grades and apparent eagerness that showed just sitting in his class. He talked to me outside of class and eventually convinced me to change my major. He is now my unofficial academic advisor. I also feel like I have more opportunities here. After just one quarter of PSY 101, my professor pink slipped me into PSY 390 and I'm doing research as a freshman.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
The difference I found at OHIO when I transferred here was how involved the students are in everything. The administration really values the opinions of the students and are constantly trying to involve them in important decisions. I feel like OHIO really is run by the students.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
I was really surprised by how many people I met that didn't drink. If you don't drink, there are still so many things to do. My favorite thing to do is go to the Front Room in Baker Center every Friday night. I play board games with my friends and listen to the musicians playing until midnight, when a professional comedian performs. It's always a great way to end the week and start the weekend. Also, there are always performances and concerts and plays and speakers that actually have interesting things to say.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about my school is that it is not more than 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} handicapp accessible. I am not handicap but I do wonder sometime, if I would be able to go to this University if I were. I go to class each day and I admire those who need wheel chairs or crutches in order to get around campus. I wish that there were more buildings equipped to cater to handicap needs.

Describe your favorite campus traditions.
OU is definitely a party school and that atmosphere is what makes it so much fun. However, because everyone is out to have a good time it is so easy to meet people on campus with similar interests and everyone is laid back and friendly. Making friends/ forming study groups is no problem and you will make the best friends of your life here.

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frustrating thing about this school is the administration. The administrators at this school are, to boil it down to a few choice adjectives, a bunch of greedy, apathetic, money-grubbing scrooges. The top administration, from the Board of Trustees down to the Provost, are more interested, and I am tempted to say, solely interested, in squeezing every last penny out of students pockets. This manifests itself in various ways; food quality (poor), education quality (good, but could be much better) and athletics (more emphasized for benefit of the administration as a profit-generating tool, than student enjoyment).

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
The stereotype of students at Ohio University is that we are only about partying. While we do like to have fun with our free time we do not consider partying our top priority. Yes we are ranked as the number one party school in the country but we also have very established and well-known programs for many different majors. I am in the business school and I know for a fact that the business program here is committed to giving you real world experience and preparing you for life after college. People that are in my classes work diligently on their school work and don't let the partying image effect their schoolwork. Yes we do like to have fun on weekends and on our spare time but the stereotype of students at Ohio University only caring about drinking and partying and not about schoolwork is not only offensive to us, it is wrong as well.

Why did you decide to go to this school?
I decided to go here because when I thought of OU after my visit, all of the other schools just seemed sad in comparison. Nothing is like OU. The students, the nature, the professors--I loved it all. Even the street food off of Court Street was amazing. I loved this little college town and I am proud to have called it my home for the past two years.
