<p>Hello, I was wondering if anyone is taking summer classes this coming summer at Ohio State OR if you have taken summer classes at OSU before. </p>
<p>If you’ve taken classes there over the summer: Is campus dead or are there still people there and things going on? How are the classes? I assume they’re a lot smaller, but are they harder? Do the instructors/professors make summer classes harder than usual or what? Basically, how is summer session at The Ohio State University?</p>
<p>I’m curious as well! I was thinking about starting during the summer but I have no idea what the social scene and classes would be like for freshmen.</p>
<p>While I will be in Columbus for the summer, I won’t be taking summer classes. There is no reason to think they will be more difficult, however, though fewer classes and sections of classes will be offered. Generally, I think it is a better decision to start in the fall of your freshman year, with everyone else, and work during the summers.</p>
<p>Per my D, who will be taking summer classes and working in Columbus this summer (she’s just finishing her second year), campus is very quiet during the summer. You won’t get a true feel for OSU during the summer, but it is a good way to ease in.</p>
<p>I did summer classes last year. Campus is very quiet. Most of my friends stuck around in off-campus housing for the summer, so I really enjoyed the peace on-campus. OSU is so large I’m sure it still compares favorably to other schools, but it is pretty dead.</p>
<p>Columbus itself has a LOT going on every single weekend during the summer, so there is plenty of social life to be found if you look.</p>
<p>In my experience summer classes are much easier, but I can’t speak for all of them. Professors are understanding about why people are taking summer courses. It also helps that you’re not occupied with clubs, etc.</p>
<p>well, I told OSU to go pound sand. I decided to go to Kent State. I took some time to put things into perspective and the programs I want to go into (broadcast journalism and/HS education) are better at Kent than at OSU. Also, Kent gave me scholarship money (and is cheaper) as where OSU didn’t give me any money at all except for loans. Lastly, I can have a summer to enjoy (which I much need) and OSU wouldn’t give me that either. SO…Kent State University it is for me!</p>
<p>Hey im transfering to kent state in january or ohio state which ever i get accepted to first. But from my research OSU has a 88% transfer acceptance and accepted 5600 students in 2010. But kent state acceptance rate is 88% havnt found there transfer acceptance rate number yate but generally itll be higher then the normal acceptance rate. was it easy for you to get accepted to kent state because thats the school of my choice since i was young</p>
<p>Hello, Kent State is obviously a lot easier to transfer to than Ohio State would be. I mean, as long as your grades aren’t horrible, like below 2.50 cum. GPA, then you should be able to transfer to Kent State-Kent campus. Although, KSU has seen its largest enrollment ever and those who applied late (mid-July) were told there was no room here on the Kent campus, but were offered admission one of the 8 regional campuses. With that said, Kent campus might not be accepting transfers for only half a year. </p>
<p>Also, OSU also admitted their most competitive freshman class this year as well, so they’re full to the brim with people as well. SO…I don’t think they will be really accepting many people mid-year either. Also, OSU is in the process of transitioning from quarters to semesters, so if you did transfer from a semester school to OSU mid-year this year, you’d be caught in quarters and thus not get out of school until like the second or so week in June whereas you could get out in the first week of May in a semester school. </p>
<p>If I were you, I’d stay at what ever school you’re at now and just finish out the year there. I myself am interested in transferring to OSU next year when they are on semesters, so we’ll see how that goes. Best of luck to you though!</p>
