Why is Ohio University never discussed here?

[Anonymous]

We talk about Ohio State a lot, but not Ohio U. Anyone have any experience with this school?

Ha! I know nothing about it which is why I asked. Also strange that it's not University of Ohio.

It's like we talk about Cornell University a lot, but not Cornell College.

It is a good question. There are a bunch of schools in Ohio that I think are decent but I know nothing about - Ohio, Miami, Denison, Kenyon, Wooster, probably missing one or two more (Oberlin is its own animal and has been discussed plenty).

I live in the Pittsburgh area and several kids from our high school attend each year. I have only heard good things from parents whose kids have gone there

Ohio native here. OU pulls mostly from OH, WV and western PA. But it’s a beautiful campus and setting especially for someone who wants to be in a place that’s just about the school. The surrounding areas are beautiful but isolated and really economically depressed and sometimes meth-y until you get down towards Gallipolis or Parkersburg or over to Wheeling, where there’s academics and old family money and doctor/lawyer types.

All of the kids I know who have gone there have gone on to strong careers or competitive grad schools. It would be a good place for a B+ or A- HS student to really kill it for grad school applications.

OP here. Thanks for this information!

There are two? I had no idea. I can't tell most of these "state-name" institutions apart.

I guess you’re not a college football devotee.

Kenyon, Denison and Oberlin were popular with boarding school kids that weren’t looking at Ivies back in the 80s. I think people are avoiding Ohio now and other SLACs have risen.

Quaint college town. Specialty dorms for different “communities.”

Kenyon, Denison, Miami and OU deserve way more attention than they get. These are fantastic schools for nice, well adjusted kids with good but not sterling grades who want to get a great education and don’t want to pay $90l per year. For liberal arts colleges, Kenyon and Denison are the very best possible schools where you can get $25k (other than perhaps Grinnell but Grinnell is super, crazy woke and Kenyon and Denison are not). The Kenyon and Denison campuses are both drop dead gorgeous and in the cutest towns, both near Columbus.

Miami and OU also both have gorgeous campus. Central Ohio with its rolling hills is one of the nicest parts of the US. These are small universities. Mostly Ohio kids but I’d send my kids to Miami or OU before Ohio State. Miami and OU are nice sized colleges where your kid will be in classes of 20-30 kids. OSU is a factory of 60,000 students where you kid will be in classes with 350 students.

Check them out. You will be happy you did.
