[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ohio State is a great school and Columbus is much better than  you might expect. The mid west land grant schools offer fantastic education. Purdue or UIUC for example. [/quote]
OSU is a meathead school in a redneck town. (And I guarantee I know both better than you do.)[/quote]

Not even close to being true. Columbus is so far from a redneck town as to make that statement laughable, although there are certainly meatheads at OSU.

But, OSU is one of the most well known schools in the country. Would hardly call it a hidden gem.[/quote]

I tend to not have anything good to say about OH - it is a Midwest thing, but Columbus has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Yeah, sure there are still a few "redneck" areas, but there are plenty in metro DMV and NYC (did you say Staten Island?). [/quote]

I went to OSU for grad school 30 years ago, and even then Columbus wasn’t a purely redneck town. There are some great neighborhoods and while it was a smaller city without any professional athletic teams, had a decent vibrancy. Not enough for me to stay but I didn’t feel completely out of water as a New Englander, POC. [/quote]
