<p>Being one from Ohio, Ohio state is crazy. Big city, not much of a pretty campus. Intense fans. Lots and lots of partying. It’s pretty hectic. But I have not heard one person say they dislike it there.</p>
<p>Pretty bunched up - not a major difference amongst these schools according to this general list. </p>
<p>Baylor and SMU are religiously affilated - if that’s important, choose between them.
If not, and you want to go to school in the South - hit Alabama.</p>
<p>If not, you are left with OSU and Iowa. These have extremely different campuses and feel to them. Iowa City is your consummate, beautiful college town with not much around it, with shops, places to eat, and the town is all about the U. Columbus is the largest city in Ohio and the school is completely massive. If you want the college town vibe, pick Iowa. If you want an urban experience, pick OSU.</p>
<p>I went to Iowa and enjoyed it. </p>
<p>Otherwise, you should focus on the major of choice, and look at it that way. But as far as general education quality, these schools are pretty darn similar. I do know that Iowa is very strong with law, nursing, creative writing, performance arts, and has a solid business school.</p>
