There is no doubt in my mind that Buckeyes are not only college students and fans, but also a huge family. And although we learn that there are 26 letters in the alphabet, at THE Ohio State University, there are only 25.
It's time to learn THE ABC's of THE Ohio State University:
A is for Adriatico's
Two words: amazing pizza!
B is for Buckeyes & Brutus
C is for COTA
From Easton to the Short North, to downtown Columbus, COTA buses are your "free" ride to exploring Columbus (with your BuckID, of course)!
D is for the Tom W. Davis Bell Tower
Because the University definitely couldn't have found a better way to spend $1.4 million, like fixing ceilings leak, and occasionally fall in when snow melts.
E is for Experience
Whether it be experiencing the Game Day hype or witnessing Brutus running across the Oval, here at OSU you are sure to have the experience of a lifetime!
F is for Football
Look for The Big Nut, watch the band, and sing Carmen-- Go Bucks!
G is for Game Day
So much energy.
H is for High Street
Starbucks, Chipotle, Panera, Canes, and UDF milkshakes and ice cream, it's likely that there is a place on High Street to satisfy any craving!
I is for "I-O"
Yell "O-H" and you're sure to get an "I-O" back! Buckeyes for life!
J is for JO South
K is for Kcomm
South campus' holy grail for dining hall food-- nothing is better than grilled cheese week.
L is for Lincoln (and Morrill) Towers
My apologies to anyone on the 23rd floor during a fire drill or if the elevator breaks.
M technically does not exist but also stands for Mirror Lake
Too bad it's consumed by construction until [tentatively] summer 2018.
N is for North Campus
Home to the North Rec & the ever so popular Scott Dining Hall!
O is for The Oval
When the weather is nice, the Oval is buzzing with students walking to class, studying outside, or playing Frisbee.
P is for Parking
Parking on campus, actually, almost anywhere in Columbus, is a nightmare-- extremely limited and overpriced-- watch out for CampusParc!
Q is for Quality of Education
Ohio State goes above and beyond in many ways, so there's no doubt that academics are extraordinary. According to U.S. News and World Report, The Ohio State University ranks #1 among Ohio public universities, and #16 among the nation's best public universities.
R is for RPAC
Swim, use equipment, run on the track, or take fitness classes-- the RPAC is the perfect place to go to avoid the Freshman 15.
S is for The Shoe
With the capacity of holding nearly 105,000 fans, there's no doubt that football games are full of surging fan energy.
T is for THE Ohio State University
Don't make the mistake of saying just "Ohio State University," because you will more than likely be corrected that it is "THE Ohio State University."
U is for The Ohio Union
With a gorgeous view of the South Oval, the Union is the perfect place to study, grab coffee or lunch, or eat late-night Sloopy's with friends.
V is for Veterinary Medicine
According to US News & World Report Best Graduate Schools, the College of Veterinary Medicine at tOSU is ranked #5 in North American veterinary schools.
W is for Wilce Student Health Center
Colds and the flu spread faster than anything on campus, so when it's finally time to bite the bullet, head to Wilce Student Health Center so that you can get back to your normal college-student self!
X is for X's during "Beat Xichigan" Week
Because "M" technically doesn't exist - especially the week of playing Xichigan, you will struggle to find a single "M" on campus that has not been crossed out.
Y is for Younkin Success Center
Younkin provides tutoring, career, counseling, and many other services which ensure that students at The Ohio State University have everything they need in order to succeed.
Z is for The Columbus Zoo
A fun place to go for time away from campus-- and especially fun close to Christmas for Zoo Lights!
