I'd have to agree with the comment below me (the kid from NY) and absolutely disagree with the disgruntled business major from the west coast. OSU is a school with boundless academic, extracurricular and athletic opportunities. You really have to take initiative in order to succeed here - no one is going to hold your hand. In my view, this is the ultimate "real-world," college experience, something I was sorely missing when I went to a small private liberal arts school in, surprise surprise... the West Coast (So Cal to be exact). The kid from the west coast claims that OSU has "no repuation" outside the state of Ohio. Really? Then explain to me how I got a job working for a firm near Wall Street in Midtown Manhattan, only 2 months after graduation, even before some of my Ivy League contemporaries (the Fisher degree goes a long way, trust me). And OSU has the second highest number of living alums for any school in the U.S. (2nd to Penn State), and MANY of them are in NYC, D.C., and other parts of the East Coast (even some in Florida, Arizona, and California). It's funny, I go to baseball games in NY (Mets fan representin'), and I've been pleasantly talked to parents and other alumns of OSU (have to also deal with all those people wearing the Penn State/Michigan gear in the area, ugh...) I talked to one of the gate attendents working the games, who told me her son (like myself) loved OSU, and is now working for GE, one of the best companies in the world, in Cincinnati. Not too shabby for a "dumb hick school" Don't let some of the negative comments deter you from coming to OSU. Yes, it may not be as culturally enlightening of a school, as say, NYU or Columbia, but it's not supposed to be. It's a school that is what it is - a very big, well-respected public university offering solid programs all around (especially in business), and attracts those that are sports fanatics. If you can's stand all the sports, and the stupid, drunken hicks/rednecks from Ohio, my suggestion is to try to find some East/West Coasters, or international students at the school, or go to a school elsewhere. It's that simple. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions about going to OSU, and what its like to live on campus. Go Bucks!
