<p>My D got accepted to Allegheny, Ohio Wesleyan, Cornell College, and Ohio University with scholarships. She is an average student from Asia.</p>
<p>Any ideas which school is less tough, as she wants to graduate with a good GPA? Also which school offers friendly environment for international students?</p>
<p>Ohio Wesleyan is hard! The saying is that it “easy to get in, but hard to stay.” I am good friends with an OWU alum.</p>
<p>Ohio University is probably the easiest of these schools. Well, actually, it certainly is the easiest. I have no idea about the environment for international students but I would guess that it might be the best of these schools because it is the biggest school. So, has all kinds of students.</p>
<p>Cornell, as you know, has that “one course at a time” thing. For some people that is good, but for others it is harder. Personally, I think it is cool and wish I had that option when I went to college.</p>
<p>Allegheny College is very good, but I don’t know a whole lot about its difficulty.</p>
<p>Cornell College alum here!</p>
<p>Cornell is a great place. Especially for international students. There are multiple active international groups on campus. The Office of Intercultural Life supports a number of different programs and opportunities. I urge you to ask the Cornell admissions office for more material and information on those.</p>
<p>The “One Course At A Time” academic calendar can be difficult to adjust to at first, but I cannot imagine learning any other way. I never had a professor who was unwilling to work with me if I had issues understanding the material. </p>
<p>I go to Ohio University and would recommend it, especially if you have scholarships. The student life at Ohio is great and if you take the right courses, it isn’t extremely challenging.</p>
