That's what I've heard. Thanks for the input!

I went to OU. I loved every minute of it. One of the most underrated colleges in the midwest if you ask me. The campus is absolutely beautiful. My girlfriend went to OSU. She loved it. I loved visiting her. She loved visiting me.

They are both good schools with different strengths and weaknesses in their programs.

Ohio State is more of an urban campus while OU has a rural college town vibe to it.

You cant go wrong with either one my friend.

Depends what your speaking of.
You can experience the "experience" in Athens.
Just saying.

I remember going uptown on Sundays to watch Bengals games. It was so fun having so many fans representing the different teams in the AFC north. Bengals and Steelers fans would always get into it, but it always ended up with all of us making fun of the Browns fans

If you want to live in a more metro type area and enjoy the ultimate sports life I would choose OSU. Do not let the size of the school intimidate you as classes are usually logisitically close due to what you are studying. I have had more of a partying good time at OSU than OU honestly just because there are more places to go. If I could do it all over again I would have honestly condsidered OSU more.

OU is more of an intimate setting being smaller and confinded by Athens. You are not going to get the sports experiences like an OSU but you will get more attention in your smaller class sizes (which was def more important for me at least). The social/greek aspect of OU is pretty great if you are interested in that too.

At the end of the day - if the money is comparable - I can see it being a very tough decision.

Like BobZilla my whole family went to Ohio State at some point, my grandfather taught at the dental school there for a long time, I got recruited for swimming there - so I got to experience it for many many years. College wise I would find it hard to find the type of pride that school has.

A part from Bobzilla, I will disagreed on "state schools being the best tho" haha.

I went Greek my freshman year. Best decision of my life.

She passed away my sophomore year, so I hope it was before that.

They are The Ohio State University and Ohio University. I am going to be a business major, though I haven't
really decided what I will specialize in just yet. However, both schools have very solid business programs.
So, of these two schools, which would provide me with the best college experience, as well as the
best education moving forward after my time in college into the real world. Thoughts, and any stories
from times at either university would be greatly beneficial. Thanks!

Yes also pick a college based on how cool it looks on a hat

That's cool, I would rather just bang chicks than have intercourse with old men, but if that's your thing; more power to ya.
