Why attend OSU ?
Ok, I am an OSU grad from 1970, so I would like to add an "aged" perspective to this discussion. Of course your school of choice has to offer your field of study, but that is not much of a limiting factor. Let's talk important aspects. Your college years will shape the rest of your life. It will define who you are and who you aspire to become professionally. And just as significantly, your school is your new community where you will, yes, study and work at getting that degree, but also you will be making memories and developing relationships that will last your lifetime. The OSU is big. It offers everything and has some of the best facilities in the world. And within the bigness, a student can easily find his/her smaller circle of interest. The OSU has great traditions and a large Buckeye Nation of proud alumni, and it never hurts if that new business contact turns out also to be a Buckeye. The weather in Columbus isn't great all the time, and it is a long drive to the closest beach, but being a student at the OSU you will have a chance at a great education, and create an affiliation with a fun, proud and loyal Buckeye Nation, and experience Buckeye Pride. I know. I married my college next door neighbor 36 years ago, and still we drive 9 hours to make an annual trip to back to OSU to see the Buckeyes, sing the songs, visit campus, have a beer on High St, and remember oh so many great times!
