I was in the Honors program at OSU. The key to OSU is to navigate the chaos that is 50,000 18-22 year olds fueled on beer and football. Doable, and as parents what you can do is guide your child on the little things (like suggest living on North Campus over South).
I also did the London honors program, which cost money, but also set me up with the right social circles to succeed.
Notre Dame is probably pretty crazy too, but less than Ohio State. You are paying 4X more to pretty much to limit the crazy distractions.
