5 Reasons I Love OSU's Tom W. Davis Clock Tower
Marly McNeal

I am happy to say that the sneering and hateful discussion about the Tom W. Davis clock tower has finally died down. Those students are learning to accept what many of us knew right from the start-- OSU's clock tower is a true asset to the campus community. Here are 5 things that I love most about the glorious addition to North Campus.

1. I always know the time

Yep, being late to class is a thing of the past when everyone on North Campus always has access to what time it is.

2. It serves as a North Campus icon


Students on South Campus had the Oval, but what about the rest of us? We needed an icon to represent who we are up on North.

3. It will attract prospective students


Making a college decision was hard for me. If I had seen OSU's clock tower when I came to campus, though, I am sure it would have been love at first sight.

4. It reminds me of my favorite dystopian films


You know how at night, the bright red and white screen illuminates the entire North Campus area with a hazy glow, repeatedly broadcasting messages the university wants all students to read? It could come right out of something like the Hunger Games, which is great because everyone loves that movie!

5. 1.4 million dollars could not be better spent

Can you think of anything else to donate all of that money to? Me neither! I am thankful that the wonderful donation was aimed at what Ohio State students need most.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
