<p>According to this, you are able to pay, in person, at Enarson Hall. That is located on South Campus (I think on 12th Avenue) right next to the Kuhn Honors House. The fee is due May 1. </p>
<p>The learning community is up to you–it can definitely be beneficial to have students in the same major/situation as you so that you can all work together. I was in an honors learning community; the people in it were great and I’m still friends with many of them, but I don’t personally think the Honors Learning Community (not the program as a whole) was super beneficial–Honors was great, but you don’t necessarily need to live with just honors students; I think that concept could apply to any learning community</p>
<p>curious about how the construction noise and activity is going on campus? When we visited with S in March the area in front of The Union was a mess full of geothermal construction. How is the noise around S Campus dorms during the week in terms of sleeping and studying? Do they work on weekends during the school year as well? S requested Park Stradley as his first choice dorm, should we worry he’ll never sleep and have to live in Thompson Library? LOL</p>
<p>Also, when and how would incoming students be made aware that football tickets are going on sale? What is the process for basketball ticket sales?</p>
<p>Should my parents even come to orientation if they don’t speak english well? OSU is a big school and I really don’t want them to get lost with the students and parents being separated most of the time. They also wouldn’t understand the information given out…</p>
<p>I have never lived on South during construction, but I’m fairly certain that there are certain times that they are allowed to work, i.e. not too early and not too late; however, “early” may depend on what time the student actually sleeps til. I don’t believe that they work during weekends, but again, I’m not positive. I think one year (one or two years ago) they gave students that lived on South extra BuckID money for their troubles; there are plenty of libraries and study places if you are concerned, however. </p>
<p>Football tickets usually go on sale in June; you will receive plenty of emails with the username/password that is to be used for purchasing. Tickets are usually sold in blocks by rank, so make sure your student is online BEFORE the selling even starts, think of it as a digital line. Basketball tickets are generally easier to get, but I wouldn’t worry about that yet as they won’t be on sale for a long time. </p>

<p>Given your circumstances, I would definitely recommend that your parents don’t waste their time/money coming; orientation is definitely the most beneficial to the student. Much of the information is available online if they have any interest.</p>
<p>I have another question, how big are the dorm rooms? I know it’ll depend on the number of people living in them but I’m starting to buy stuff now and I don’t want to waste money on things that will take up too much space. There’s this image in my mind that everything will be cramped with barely any space to walk. I know that OSU gives us a desk, chair, dresser, and micro fridge. Can I bring more things for storage like plastic sterilite drawers and wire cube shelving or should I try to find something even more compact? Also, would you recommend getting the beds lofted?</p>
<p>For example, here was my room in Dracket: <a href=“http://urds.osu.edu/posts/floorplans/drackett_426.pdf[/url]”>http://urds.osu.edu/posts/floorplans/drackett_426.pdf</a>. Not that this is set up as a quad; I had it as a double so we did NOT loft our beds and the two desks that weren’t built into the wall were not there. You should be able to see the layout of any room for spacial reference. I believe I mentioned in an earlier post the things I brought with me if you want to take a look at that.</p>
<p>For lofting, it depends really. In a smaller room (ex. south campus double) you almost need to loft it if you want space, but it’s not really necessary in a super double. You can also decide once you arrive.</p>
<p>I have a rather silly question: If the status under the Applicant Center says Acceptance, that means I’m enrolled, right? The only reason I ask is because the university hasn’t yet sent me an email acknowledging that I’m attending…</p>
<p>Yes, acceptance = accepted. You will be enrolled once you pay your fees/tuition and stuff…if you’re worried, call and make sure the correct email is on file; make sure to check spam mail.</p>
<p>OSULolz- I know you mentioned you attended Fisher. Do you have any insight on the Risk Management and Insurance program? Things like, is recruitment big? How hard is it to find an internship/job?</p>
<p>How do you know what classes you should register for? </p>
<p>And is Pre-med a major? Another user keeps telling me that it is not a major and that basically I’m undeclared so I have to declare one before it’s too late and etc. HOWEVER, in my acceptance letter it said that I was accepted into Pre-med. it mentioned nothing about having to declare a major. Anyways, I’m confused so if you can help in any way, I’m grateful :)</p>
<p>Osulolz- do they do campus tours on the weekends? I will be calling them on Monday to try and schedule a visit but I need to tell my mom when she has to take off of work especially cause we will be flying from NJ.</p>
<p>Disregard the last question. OSULolz- Do you know why OSU is ranked 10th in the nation according to U.S News in Accounting? Just wanted to know what makes it ranked in the top 10</p>
<p>Osulolz - My son will be staying in the Lane Avenue Scholars dorm. Is it acceptable to bring in an extra mini fridge for his room? (3.1 cu ft) I know that one is provided with each room, but he would prefer to have his own.</p>
<p>OSULolz, Confused about all of the xtra programs available before the start of the Fall semester for freshman. S applied for R-Lead and OWL, he also just received a mailing encourgaing him to apply for the First Year Leadership Collaborative Conference (does everyone get these letters, or only a select group?). He wants to get involved, can’t do everything. Can you tell me the inside scoop on the three opportunities, and which of them may be the most/least beneficial to him? We are OOS, so he could do all 3, but he would need to be at OSU on 8/7 for Collaborative Conf, then go right into R Lead day after Collaborative ends, then OWL after R lead!! Any insights, postive or negative would be helpful!</p>
<p>All of them will allow him to be able to acclimate himself to campus quicker, although I’m not sure if I would do all of them. I did the Ohio State Welcome Leader (OWL) my sophomore year, but that was basically just so that I could move in early for free.</p>
<p>Pros–
Move in early for free
Meet people earlier
Learn campus much faster
Not bad on a resume</p>
<p>Cons–
May get a little dull; campus is fairly empty without school in session
Food will most likely NOT be provided, even if they are on a meal plan
If you come pre-OWL, move-in will be a bit more of a hassle with nobody to help</p>
<p>Keriokie–
I believe that they tell you than bringing a mini-fridge is (technically) against the rules because of the strain on the power outlets; I would contact the housing office for verification</p>
<p>OSULolz- I just visited Ohio State today. I am an OOS student and I took the taxi from Port Columbus to OSU. I was wondering for the future if there is a shuttle bus from the airport that goes to the university as the taxi was quite expensive. Also, if there isn’t, once I am a student and I have to go to the airport for the holidays to visit family; can I take the CABS to Columbus and then take a shuttle or another bus that goes directly to the airport?</p>
