    There are nearly 1000 clubs and activities, so there's always something going on. The feeling unity when you scream out O-H-I-O! at the home games.

    The social atmosphere is great! One can literally find a community to get involved within without even trying because the incredible diversity will put you next to others of similar interests. The multitude of clubs and the housing communities also provide a constant source of recreation, even outside of the great athletics scene. To be bored on campus, one would have to give a significant effort.

    Yes, I really enjoy being here. There is always something to do on campus and with over 500 clubs to choose from at times it can be over whelming and what you want to do. Of course of football game days it gets really hectic with all the people that come allover just to see the game. I’m so glad my dorm is next to the stadium because I can just watch out my window. You create many friends here because everyone is so nice. If I’m not in my dorm I’m either in my friends, the RPAC, at a club or sitting in the oval or the union. Plus, my school is in an urban city, and I know as my top choice of college this was one of my qualifications in picking my school. I would never transfer because I’m so happy here.
