While there are no bad greens at Ohio University, they all have a unique vibe. Here's yours.

1. West Green

Do you have the best dining hall? Absolutely. Do you have the best dorms? Not quite. West Green is for people who want to make a lot of friends, but then stick to talking to those friends alone. You bask in the quiet joy of having the prettiest green on campus, and you probably go for runs. You're likely a nursing major or some sort of science. And you definitely abuse the frozen yogurt machine in Boyd.

2. Dirty South

5 Truths And Misconceptions About Living In Dirty South

Dirty South gets its name for a reason. You may not care about aesthetics, and your room may be a bit of a mess, but in looking past the superficial, you're able to find a lot of fun. That said, you're always late to things, and you don't go out as much simply because it's a longer walk. You rarely eat at Boyd, and you for sure try to convince your friends that the concrete bridges are "actually really nice you guys!"

3. New South

Despite being roped in with Dirty South on location alone, these are the nicest dorms on campus. You may have gotten kicked out of your coveted second-year spot last year when they made your nice new room a COVID suite, but had you gotten to live there it would've been in luxury. You love that you're right near Ping, even when you don't use it, and you're a convenient middle man between both dining halls. You fly a little under the radar, but once someone notices you, they realize you're one of the coolest people on campus.

4. East Green

Despite having no dining hall, East stays the superior green on campus. They're close enough to everything to have fun and are some of the friendliest people on campus. There are plenty of pets on East, and while it's a younger green, it's a lot of fun. Plus, they all have amazing legs from taking Jeff hill eight times a day.

5. Off Campus

You're an upperclassman, and you were very excited to move into your apartment with your friends, only to discover the big apartment buildings in a town like Athens are basically dorms but farther away. At least you get your own bathroom! You tend to keep to yourself and your friends during the week and then go into town like crazy on weekends. You're currently "learning" to cook. Unless, of course, you're in a Greek Life house, in which case you're going crazy every night, and you still can't cook at all.

6. North Green

You do not exist. No one lives here.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
