"I remember that day like any other, the day that I opened my acceptance letter to Ohio University. A crisp white envelope with the school’s logo, a hunter-green outline of the main building, stood out among the other mail. Inside that envelope was the answer to my questions and hopefully the beginning of my future. Now, going into my fourth year of that future, I can honestly say that I made the right decision."
"Coming from a big city to the small Appalachian town of Athens, Ohio has been the biggest transition of my life thus far and one that is likely to make any incoming student nervous. Like all of you, I had so many questions about the place I would be calling home for however long it took to get my degree. And though I had to learn as I went, you’ve been smart enough to get some advice from someone who really knows what they’re talking about. You can visit the websites, read the lists and even talk to alumni, but a truer account of student life you’ll be hard-pressed to find."

Here are some totally raw excerpts from our college review of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio:
"Though we may not get as much press or be as nationally acclaimed as some of the other schools in Ohio, I doubt that your experience at OU will be unlike any other. Sure, the Ohio State University may have a great football team and Bowling Green State University may be the STD capital of Ohio, but where else will you get an above average education, plenty of drunken stories and the chance to visit one of the most haunted places in the world? Football and Chlamydia don’t even come close to that!"
"Just to put it lightly, getting into OU isn’t difficult by any means. However, it is one of those rare state schools that seems to attract both the bottom of the barrel AND those standing on the rim. If you happen to be one of the overachievers, then expect to be given scholarships out the wazoo. Sure, you may not get the bragging rights of someone who goes to OSU or Miami, but you’ll probably get your education a whole heck of a lot cheaper because of scholarships and come out with a pretty credible degree."
"OU is infamous for its affirmative action policies; if you should decide to become a Bobcat, chances are this topic will come up during one of your political or cultural studies classes."
"That translates into losers, those who are overprotected by mommy and daddy and girls who have to be separated from boys due to their religion."
"One day, horror movies will be made about them, in which young, scantily-clad females will succumb to their death while attempting to run away from the killers because they end up crushing their skulls on the pavement due to their choice of uncomfortable footwear. It will take you about 20 minutes to get to the farthest class building, and you’ll most likely be sweaty and out of breath by the time you make it there."
"However, if you are insecure about your body at all, steer clear of walking this way on days when you feel particularly unattractive. Girls will lay out in their teeny tiny bikinis and boys will usually have their shirts off. Not exactly the confidence booster you need while walking to class in a raggedy t-shirt and jeans!"
"This reputation is due to the former Athens Lunatic Asylum, which is in the area of Athens known as the Ridges. It also houses an old tuberculosis ward. No one knows how much truth there is to these claims, but some people take it very seriously."
"Certain sororities are deemed better than others and each has its own disparaging nickname. For example....____ is known as “eat a whole pie” around campus, due to a majority of its members being noticeably overweight."
"Hazing at OU seems to be a problem. Of course, the members of the sorority or frat you are asking will deny their own hazing rituals while playing up those of others. Some of the most appalling I have heard are one sorority that requires their new pledges to strip naked and sit in a room watching porn while sitting on newspapers. They are only allowed to leave the room after the whole newspaper under them is wet."
"....he was made to do push-ups on pieces of broken glass and had to run several miles after chugging a gallon of milk."
"Everyone will tell you to stay away from _______, the resident slum landlord."
"A few people die on campus every year, but it’s usually from drug and alcohol usage. Since I’ve been there, two people have died from a heroin overdose and one person died after “falling” out his window (people speculate that he was high on acid at the time)."
"We’ve earned this reputation mainly for two reasons. For starters, we have more than 20 bars in our small town, most of which are on the same street. Secondly, OU hosts one of the largest Halloween parties in the country."
"Are there bars in Athens? That’s like asking if there are stars in the sky. The answer to both is yes, and plenty…we have nearly as many bars on one street as there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy. OU is a well-known party school and much of that image is derived from how many bars are within a short walking distance of the students."
"One of the things I most wish I knew as a freshman was how to better..."
"If you’re daring enough, you can try to _____. However, the consequences are dire; getting caught can get you kicked out of school."
"The worst thing about this school is..."
