THE Ohio State University

I'm in Ohio at THE Ohio State University. It is true, people really call it that - emphasizing the THE as though it was the entrance to heaven. And it might be. It is an amazing culture - one where students (more than 60,000) roam the acres of buildings and suprising amount of green space. UConn has green space sure - rural green space - expected green space. THE OSU has green space that creeps up on you out of nowhere. The money seems to pour from alums hands - each dreaming of giving back to THE OSU. Each student I ran into today was truly happy. And I asked - and each one (maybe 40 in total) LOVE it. Different majors, races, genders, abilities - they love it. And they don't want to leave - and if they do, its to go to the law school, or grad school. Amazing. I thought LSU had a great thing going - but THE OSU at least by its student body, has clearly won!
