25 Questions I Have For The Ohio State University

In This Article:

When you go to a university as large as Ohio State, there are a lot of experiences that all students experience and wonder about, but never have answers to. After being on campus for four years, and about to enter my fifth, there are things that I still wonder about. Whether you're #new2osu, or very #old2osu, you'll also wonder some of these things, and will carry the questions with you for the rest of your time at OSU.

When will south campus be renovated?

When is campus food getting an update?

Why does housing (on or off campus) cost so much?

Why is scheduling always a nightmare?

Why can't we have more good on-campus student jobs?

Why did we ever build a clock tower?

What's the weirdest place anyone has ever napped?

When will the bus routes get better?

Why do we have Dining dollars AND BuckID cash?

Will there ever be a cap on how many clubs there are?

Has anyone ever done the math on how many degrees of separation there are on campus?

What's the most unique major that's offered or can be created?

Why is it so difficult to cross the streets?

What's the best place to have a photo shoot on campus that no one knows about?

Why didn't they give out iPads to everyone sooner?

Does anyone actually live in the towers by choice?

How much does it really cost to have a building named after you?

Who decides how and when things change; ie. not paying for laundry, or sophomores having to live on campus?

Does everyone have a "go-to" on campus bathroom?

What is the statue outside of Smith and who decided to build it?

How many secrets does the university keep from us?

What would it be like to walk in the tunnels under the Oval?

Why are there only about 5 different options of foods to eat on campus?

What is the best service dog in training to follow on Instagram?

And finally, maybe most importantly, will there ever be a time when campus isn't under construction?

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself?

Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
