俄亥俄州立大学世界排名_王牌专业_osu院校简介-申请方

Columbus is a vibrant, inviting city, the largest as well as one of the most liberal and pleasant in Ohio, with 19th-century architecture offsetting its modern energy and sensibility. It offers a diverse array of options for both daytime and night, including theaters, clubs, and a Brewery District popular among the undergrads. OSU sits just north of downtown. A few minutes’ walk leads students to the Short North, an artsy district where galleries, restaurants, and shops line the streets, festivals are plentiful, and students can sometimes get their work displayed. When families visit, Buckeyes can take them to visit COSI, the interactive science museum, and a life-size replica of the Santa Maria on the Scioto River.

The OSU campus stretches over 1,700 acres and features a kinetic mix of newer, modern buildings, like the Wexler Center for the Arts, and older, traditional, and well-known ones, four of which are listed on the National Register of Historical Places (Enarson Hall, Hayes Hall, Ohio Stadium, and Orton Hall). The placement of the Oval, one of the most popular hangout spots, was supervised by the Olmstead brothers, famous for designing New York’s Central Park. There are several libraries, as well as a second smaller South Oval near the Ohio Union.

There are over 30 co-ed dorms on campus in three main clusters: North, South, and West. There are also Living/Learning Communities (LLCs), diversity-themed housing options, and a couple choice scholarship dorms for students who qualify. South Campus dorms are the less polished and rowdy option, and are closer to Greek life. North Campus dorms are good for more studious or quiet students; they are air conditioned and have private bathrooms. The Towers are air conditioned and have private bathrooms but are away from campus. Security is one of OSU’s main focuses and dorm security is taken very seriously. All residence halls are locked 24/7 and can only be opened with a student ID . Even still, students who live off-campus cannot enter any residence hall even with their ID, but must call the front desk or have the person they are visiting come down and let them in. While there are no curfew hours, a student cannot enter a residence hall other than their own during the hours of 9pm and 9am without being guided by an RA. Residence halls are also kept very clean: every public bathroom is cleaned every weekday and maintenance can be contacted 24/7. Students are responsible for keeping their own rooms and (in certain dorms) their private bathrooms clean.

Athletics powerhouse OSU is Division I all around and part of the Big Ten. Only two other schools besides OSU have won national championships in baseball, men's basketball, and football, and during the 2005-2006 school year OSU won conference championships in Football, Men's Basketball and Women's Basketball, making it the first Big Ten school to do so. Swimming & diving, synchronized swimming, fencing, track & field, golf, and gymnastics have all also netted the school national championships. Buckeyes go especially crazy for football. The competition for tickets in the fall can be intense and cheering continues on and off the field as students wearing buckeye necklaces burst into spontaneous renditions of “Carmen Ohio.” Even the marching band, known as The Best Damn Band in the Land, is famous. Heisman Awards have been given to OSU players seven times, including twice to Archie Griffin. The school also offers lots of lower-key intramural and club sports, of which ice hockey is one popular choice.
