ratio of males to females (though on second thought, as a female this would be a good thing...)

how insanely high tuition is for out-of-state people, but that it is relatively easy to get Ohio residence

What are your general comments?

The day started with introductions to OSU from some of the faculty and students, followed by lunch with the students and a BRIEF tour. The interviews were very short and the interviewers are EXTREMELY nice and just want to get to know you.
