Ohio State sets new enrollment records
University opening doors to more students than ever
The Ohio State University has set new records this fall ? in the size, quality and diversity of its student body.
There are new records in the number of students attending the Columbus campus and several regional campuses. New autumn quarter enrollment figures show a 2.7 percent increase in Ohio State enrollment, with a record 63,217 students on all campuses and a record 55,014 on the Columbus campus ? a 2.4 percent increase.
Regional campus enrollment also set a new record with more than 8,200 students ? up 4.5 percent. New enrollment records were set at Ohio State's campuses in Lima, Mansfield, Marion and Newark.
Across all campuses, there are a record 49,915 undergraduates including 9,510 new first-year students.
Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee says while many colleges have reduced the size of their freshman class, Ohio State has done the opposite, providing more students than ever access to higher education.
"Thanks to remarkably strong bi-partisan support for higher education at the state level, the University has been able to open its doors wider to greater numbers of well-prepared students, including 500 more Ohioans in our freshman class," said President E. Gordon Gee. "Assuring that talented young people can pursue their educational aspirations and improve their communities is very fully a part of our founding mission."
On Ohio State's Columbus campus, there are 6,607 first-year students ? a 9.4 percent increase over last autumn. The class set records in average ACT (27.5) and SAT (1230) scores. It also set new records in out-of-state enrollment (up 3.7 percent to 906) and international students (up 15.8 percent to 271). Students of color accounted for 15 percent of the freshman class.
Other enrollment highlights:
? Ohio State students come from all 88 counties in Ohio, all 50 states and 118 countries. Approximately 81 percent (51,475) students are from Ohio. Nearly 12 percent (7,504) are from other states, territories or are U.S. students from foreign countries.
so if I read this right you have 5 X the number of students....of course you should sell out every home game..take that 50k and turn it over every 4 years and your allumni rolls should be mind blowing!! the fact that a small private university was probabley THE dominate team from 83 till 2003 is astounding..whether u like us or not !! thug U started with the Cathoics vs convicts SI article ( still and will always hate ND and SI ) but the facts don't really bare that out.. since Shannon took over we have had 1 arrest...how many arrests has your team had in the last 5 years? ( don't know, an honest question)...... so to call us fair weather fans is not really that accurate.. we have a small fan base as we are really a very small school...and the ghetto fans(usually a players family unfortunately)... well i have a feeling u have them as well, but they are drowned out among the larger crowd..nothing about the U is thug or ghetto...but I guess stereotypes die hard!!
As far as my statement about "over rated big game choking big ten teams"..the big ten is 8-10 in all bcs bowl games with a 1-2 record in the championship game and twice being the no 1 team....that's were that perception comes from... again not my view..but that is a not uncommon view of big ten teams....again I am sure you guys will hit us square in the mouth to start the game(figuratively.).. what i want to see is how do we react to this given the hostile environment and all the press etc...can't wait to find out!!
