<p>I have been admitted to OSU for the spring 2015 session for engineering. I will be majoring in engineering. So I was confused that which campus should I choose. I have heard alot lately that north campus is nearer to engineering classes than the south and most science students chose north. However I have also heard that north is kinda dead, there are not many parties happening (I really like to party), so I was really concerned of my social life If i’d chose north.
How does it feel for an engineering student to live in south campus? Will My classes be far away or will it be fine
Thanks </p>
<p>Your classes will be farther away. Most engineers live on North.</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat. I have a friend of a friend who told me about the engineering being on the north campus. I never heard about the social scene being different but idk, I’m from california and nobody in my family has ever been to Ohio. What I was told is that its a 20ish minute walk across campus and I heard it snows sometimes. I would rather walk farther for parties than walk farther every day for my classes. </p>
<p>I don’t really know why the “engineering is on north campus” is so set in stone. Honestly, everyone has classes on north campus. There are very few class buildings even on south campus. Even though a lot of the engineering classes are pretty far north, being a freshman who still has GECs, you could have classes anywhere. Anyway, if you want to be involved in any way, go to the Rpac, etc, then you’re going to be walking. There is a bus that’s nice in the winter :)</p>
<p>Classes will be farther away but that isn’t really an issue, there is a bus. And yeah, North is for the more scholarly housing and south is for partying. </p>
<p>As a current 4th year engineering student, I would say which campus you live on (West, South, and North) does not matter as much your 1st year. You will be taking pretty much a class a semester in Hitchcock Hall (North/West) with the rest of your classes being spread around core campus. Most 1st years (unless bringing in a lot of credit) don’t have any classes in their major building besides possibly survey. It really does not matter where you live on campus until your junior year when you have almost all major classes in one or two buildings on North. Pick North if you want to live with mostly engineers and hard science majors. Live south if you like the community there and West if you like a fairly good mix of engineers and liberal arts majors. If partying is your thing, most house parties were underage students go are east of high. Morill is the hardest dorm to get caught in and Park-Stradley are extremely party happy, trust me my friend is a RA there. </p>
