I am a junior starting to think about college and i’ve been doing some research on Ohio State. I would like to ask some questions on this forum.
How are the dorms?
How do you think the school compares to similar large midwestern colleges? Why should I choose OSU over Indiana, Illinois, or Michigan?
How is Columbus?
Are the professors good? Coursework?
If you’re from out of state, what made you choose OSU?
Thanks!
Congrats on starting early and researching schools. Where is your home state and what can your parents afford would be where I would start. Of the schools you mentioned I would separate Michigan out. It attracts students that are more academic. Their avg GPA last year for Liberal Arts was unweighted 3.9 with Act 32-35… They don’t superscore. The other schools student profiles (look it up) are at a different level. It’s a different culture all together.
But big ten schools are great. Do you like sports? Most if not all have great research facilities. If something like engineering take out Indiana and the other 3 are more then capable with UIUC and Michigan elite programs in this field.
I would most likely choose your least expensive option depending on your field. Others can way in on the dorms etc.
Good Luck.
@Knowsstuff I would be majoring in finance. Cost is not really an issue, my parents just want me to be happy with where I go.
@hts335. If finance then in my biased view then Michigan. Very hard OOS but great programs. The other schools will get you there as well BTW.
