I have heard too many times how much people think BGSU sucks. "It just isn't that great" or "it's nothing special" people say. Well, I hate to break it to you, but BGSU is great. In fact, it is literally the best and here is why:
1. Freddie & Frieda
We have two mascots here at BG which clearly makes us cool. You can count on seeing these spirited birds anywhere on campus. Freddie and Frieda are the soul of BGSU and are always having a good time together. Don't forget to get a picture with them, get a high five, or simply say hi!
2. Stuffed Breadsticks
BGSU is home of Campus Pollyeyes' famous stuffed breadsticks. These sticks of cheesy goodness can be stuffed even further with any of your favorite pizza toppings. One of these things can fill you up, and they are a must have...especially with the homemade ranch. YAS.
3. Professors

I was always told that college professors don't
care about your success, and that they only care about their jobs. Well, not at BGSU. I am not afraid to ask questions in class or stay after to just chat. The professors care about your learning and always offer help and other useful resources.
4. Students
While visiting BGSU, the friendliness of the students really stuck out to me. In fact, that was one of the major reasons I decided on Bowling Green in the first place. Even now as a student, I am feel so welcomed and accepted each and every day by my fellow students.
5. Clubs and Organizations
You wanna join a
sorority? You wanna be in a fitness group? You wanna participate in underwater basketweaving? BGSU is the place for you. BG has an unlimited amount of clubs and organizations available to everyone and for all majors. You can't go wrong.
6. School Spirit
Athletics are a MAJOR KEY at BGSU. You can expect a big crowd at all games, home or away. We take
sports seriously which is why we are so successful. We do more than just games, though. We have a student section called the Falcon Fanatics that everyone can join. We also have special events on campus to celebrate the falcons and to get excited about game day such as Tailgate Thursday's at the dining halls or Falcon Friday.
7. Constant Improvements
Construction is always a thing a Bowling Green State University. You are guaranteed to hear some large machinery and have some dust fly in your nose. But we love it. Why? Because that means our campus is always getting bigger and better. Our university just build brand new, multimillion dollar Greek housing, a new Media & Communications building, and we are in the process of renovating a residence hall. Take a look at our campus, you're sure to be impressed.
8. Bowling Green, OH
Finally, perhaps the best part of BGSU is being apart of Bowling Green, OH. People get it wrong when they say it is a town outside a college. It is most definitely a college inside one hell of a town. Bowling Green is known for the arts, the food, the people, and the spirit. The relationship between the city and the university is an amazing thing and I am so happy to be apart of it.
