No two schools are the same, but if you are a student at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio you definitely know that to be a true statement. If you ever were, or currently are, a student of Otterbein you will know these 12 things all too well.
1. Donut runs
Wether it's 10 am or 10 pm, donut runs to Schneider's in Uptown are always a good idea.
2. Dean Gatti is a celebrity
You see him on campus and feel almost starstruck. And he always says hi. (Ask him to take a pic next time you see him!)
3. You would rather starve than eat at the CC
On occasion, something will sound appealing.
4. The walk to the comm. building feels endless
Although it's only about a mile from the rest of campus, all your other classes are so close that a walk to the communication building is exhausting.
5. The Triad is the trailer park
The Triad isn't horrible, don't get me wrong. But compared to the rest of the beautiful dorms on campus, they are by far the worst. (Sorry freshman).
6. CRAPital is the enemy
Enough said.
7. People from other schools have never heard of the sororities/ fraternities
Being that the majority are local, nobody has no clue who the "OWLS" are, unless they're familiar with Otterbein Greek life.
8. Uptown is where it's at
If you're hungry, want to talk a nice walk, or are craving ice cream Uptown Westerville is the go to spot.
9. You can't leave your room without seeing someone you know

10. You know the names of everyone in your classes
Yet another #SmallSchoolProb.
11. You starve to death waiting on food at the Den
The food is by far better than the CC, but not always worth the wait.
12. There are constantly protesters
From signs like these to graphic photos, outside of the campus center you can almost always find someone protesting something. But the Otterbein students always know how to handle these situations.
