OSU professors are very nice. If you miss class, it’s not a big deal, but don’t make it a habit, because they do care about their students. The smaller classes take attendance at least once a week (without letting you know what day it will be) and count it as points towards (or against) your grade. College is completely different than high school, though; they won’t call your parents if you don’t come to class.

There is a reason the Buckeye Nation is considered to be so devoted; an overwhelming love for OSU is evident in student responses, and in the loyalty of alumni to their alma mater. Each person has his or her own reasons for loving the University, and there are quite a few of them. Some students feel that the academics are top-notch and have found exactly the programs they wanted; others lean toward the athletic success of the Buckeye teams, while some just feel that the friendships and bonds they have made are enough to make their tenure at OSU worthwhile. At any rate, everyone can agree that being a Buckeye creates a special bond between you and nearly 50,000 other students, which you will carry with you for the rest of your life.
Once you get past the sheer size of the University, it will really become a second home. After only a quarter of classes, you won’t be able to cross the Oval without seeing someone you know. Ohio State is truly the smallest large university you will find. The people are known for their friendly attitudes, and alumni are scattered across the nation. If you choose to go to OSU, you’re choosing a school with a name that’s well known, both in the workplace and in the college community. Few students ever regret their time at Ohio State, and most consider their college experience to be among the best offered in the Big Ten and the country.

"Ohio State is amazing; it’s the perfect college for me. I’ve visited other places, and there is no place that I’d rather be. Ohio State encompasses all aspects of the college experience. It’s a place where you’ll make your best friends, you’ll meet people from all walks of life, and even learn a thing or two. It definitely offers a unique and totally liberating college experience to all who bear the scarlet and gray."
