It is my favorite place ever

I’m actually an online student, so take that into account. I had a wonderful experience at Ohio University, and every time I visited campus I was helped in a friendly and professional way. The one thing that was kind of a bummer was all of the different transitions with the way they structured graduation requirements.

Great School. Ohio University is a special place and there are so many opportunities here. College of business is extremely underrated and is top 20 in the country. Also home to THE best sales program in the world (Schey Sales). 10/10 recommend. The only bad thing is the internet but its Athens so I get it

OU is awful to deal with if you’re not a first-year, traditional freshman. The people are nice but the school is backwards and lacking in knowledgeable staff who can offer guidance on the university. Honestly, given it’s isolated nature (a whole bag of issues in itself) the university isn’t marketable to non trad or grad students.

This school sucks

I wasted the past 5 years at a school that doesn't even care that I exist. Advisors are always absent and the student body consists of affluent apathetic party goers who are cruel to people who are different than themselves. Don't even bother going here if you are commuting, you are treated like a second class citizen if you don't live near campus.

In the middle of nowhere, professors are hit or miss, not much to do besides go to bars, its just not worth the money.

I came to Ohio University as an inter. student from a Western country just before the Covid-19 crisis hit. While I was there, I experienced the fatal outcomes of a staggering budget crisis, administrative mismanagement, and the erosion of the social fabric of the student body. Safety, cleanliness, and compassion is something OU seriously lacks.

Horrible place to go to, the dorms are barely livable, and half the machines are broken at the gym. The only good thing is everyone has a lot of school pride but that's it.

As a freshman, I thought I made the right choice about OU. I was wrong and that is why I am transferring. Selecting room process is awful, and your room is most likely going to have mold. The food is awful, wifi is awful and not to mention the campus is not safe at all. All you get is an email if there's a robbery. Nothing else. DO NOT GO HERE!!

Not my cup of tea

Most of the teachers are not worth the thousands of dollars I spend a year. Why would you give an exam when you are on conference then remove it right after the due date and have us redo it, just to say we are plagiarizing? I gotten into it with one of the political Science teachers because he kept giving me “C” and not giving reason
