I had a brief visit to The Ohio State University - they were unable to provide me with an information session, tour or meeting, but I enjoyed my self tour. Make no mistake - Ohio State is huge with 66,000 students, and it's in the middle of Columbus. With the exception of the most beautiful part of central campus which I have photographed here, the campus is very urban.I saw as many parking garages and city buses as classroom buildings.

US News and World Report ranks The Ohio State University as #16 of all public universities, #12 among public universities for innovation, and, most impressive to me, in the top 20 of best undergraduate teaching among all public universities. That speaks volumes in a university of this size. As a top ten producer of Fulbright scholars and with a network of half a million alumni around the world, opportunities here appear to be boundless. An easy 10-mile drive from the Columbus airport, Ohio State could be a great option for any student in the country looking for a huge university with enormous resources.
