What can you say about this university that has not been said already. It would be a challenge to find a student body with more school spirit or desire to change their world. The body of individuals who make up this proud University are as passionate about their schools tradition as they are about their studies. Most attendees have followed the Buckeyes most of their lives. OSU is not all about athletics of course, there are hundreds of student clubs to join as well as internships. This school offers every academic and extracurricular opportunity that anyone could dream of.

As an Ohio State Student, I don't go back to school until the end of september. That means more fun and more sun in the summertime, but missing the first 4 home games of our football season. There in lies the biggest fault of our football program/school. While most other schools get 7-9 home games in their season ticket packages, us OSU-ers are left with a measly 4-5, that means for the big USC game coming up, you were on your own to get a ticket. In-state kids will probably take a quick drive and go to the game, but i'm an out of stater, so i guess i'll be watching from the comfort (yet crazed-fan-less-ness) of my own home.
other than the tragedy of missing those first precious games, being on a quarter system with an extra month of summer freedom has its benefits
a) you can enjoy your familys home cooked meals longer
b) you can visit your friends during their syllabus weeks (syllabus week=party time)
c) everyone knows august-september is hotter than may-june, which means, more tanning time
d) you can continue to relax at the beach while your friends take their first midterm exams. HA.
so until i actually go back to school, here's to all my friends who are already there, can't wait to beat you this season.

You don't say...
A study conducted by researchers at THE Ohio State University has found that students who habitually check/update their Facebook page, are more likely to do worse on tests than students who do not fiend Facebook like it was crack. In fact, the study concluded that students who use Facebook daily, do worse by about a full letter grade.
The test found that 67% of the Facebookers among the 219 students questioned, had a much lower GPA than those who shied away from friending people and poking their friends.
Not exactly groundbreaking research, but it might be time for people to cut back on their Facebook usage.
Even my mom checks her Facebook at work...

Ohio State University will freeze top administrators' raises and bonuses, using the money saved for student scholarships.
The state's public colleges and universities have been shielded to some extent from the harsh cuts outlined by Gov. Ted Strick land in his proposed budget. Pay cuts for some state employees have been proposed, but salaries at the colleges and universities are set by their boards of trustees and administrators.
Nevertheless, OSU Provost Joseph Alutto, whose base salary is $500,000, cited "the difficult state economy" in outlining how raises will be determined at the university beginning in July. The university compiles an annual set of guidelines for its nearly 30,000 full-time employees.
OSU President E. Gordon Gee and 18 of his senior administrators won't take raises or bonuses. The remaining faculty and staff will be eligible for merit raises determined by their managers. The target amount of the raises will be 2.5 percent.
The base pay of Gee and his 18 lieutenants ranges from $118,000 to $775,000, but other highly paid employees will still be eligible for raises because OSU officials say to be competitive.
There are 288 employees at Ohio State who make a base salary of $200,000 or more. Gee's base salary is $775,000 and his contract calls for a bonus option of up to 40 percent of his salary each year.
