Ohio University-Main Campus Review

I loved my Ohio university experience. I worked my way through college and with the help of loans and scholarships did it on my own. Although, these are different times, i had a great experience on and off campus while in Athens. I was in a great school in the Arts and had wonderful professors. Most of them took extra time for students if they needed. 

The parking in Athens is HORRIBLE.. so if you are taking a car you need to pay for a parking pass, which is expensive and usually far away from where you are living b/c there are only limited lots. I would suggest leaving the car at home. Most places, even off campus, are within walking distance of your classes. 

The off campus housing is expensive. But i don't know how different that is from other colleges. You need to be careful who you rent from. One of the main rental agencys really try to rip off students.. ask around before you sign a lease. 

Over all though, it was a great college. A wonderful education and a lot of fun. As for being a party school.. well.. aren't most colleges like that. You can easily avoid that aspect if you want. you can also have fun and do well in classes. I did.. although i'm sad i never did a court street shuffle. I recommend OU wholeheartedly!
