I would say that if you're going toBrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I would say that if you're going to college to have fun then you could probably do this anywhere, including OSU. However, you can be expected to have to deal with a variety of different people before you really find the people you'll truly have fun with. As far as academics, you would be surprised at how many of your professors are foreign. This was not a problem for me personally, but just about everyone I know has had at least one major conflict with having a professor or TA that simply could not convey the material well because of the language barrier. Should you *have* to deal with this issue paying the price you are for this degree? Maybe not, oh and you'll probably get sick of the "O H"..."I O" cheer really fast.

Question
The school cares more about football than education.Quite BrightBiology
The school cares more about football than education. there are no clocks in 50% of classrooms. there are no pencil sharpeners in the art building. the equipment used in biology is from 1968 and held together by duct tape. the dorms are to small and for each person(when i was there)paid 600 a month for a one bedroom dormroom with living area and bathroom. thats $2400 a month for a one bedroom apartment without a kitchen. never room 4 to a dorm room, you live like sardines. you can never see a professor so don't try. grad students teach you, and they don't speak english most of the time, there notes are in their native tongue. the chemistry department can't count, they were a 100 exams short for final and had to make everyone wait an hour without being able to cram because exams had already been passed out. people walk on the street by hundreds but knowone ever says a word, if you do everyone thinks you are crazy. you can hear a pin drop. and make sure you can run a 5min mile, you'll need it to get to classes. the campus is that big. and no most students can't drive.they don't have enough spaces.
