I’m attending Ohio State University this fall and I have a few questions about bike use among students on campus.
*Do many students have/use bikes?
*Are there bike racks outside of most class buildings?
*Are bikes useful on OSU’s campus?
Since I’ll be living on west campus (in one of the towers) I figured that a bike will make it easier/quicker getting to classes and such. Do you think it’s worth getting one?
Yes to all three. As I recall there was bike parking in front of every building I was familiar with. Sometimes this can fill up during the peak class times, but they’re adding new racks here and there. Just watch out for pedestrians in between classes, the area around the Oval/dorms can get very crowded! Also, get a good lock for your bike, the occasional theft does happen.
Thanks a lot! 
A bike would be very good to have if you’re in the towers. Some people underestimate how far they are.
