SDN, talked with a current OSU med student

What impressed you positively?

Both the campus and the surrounding city are great. There is a lot of space and OSU makes great use of it. In-state tuition after 1 year! The new research tower has some very nice facilities. Intracampus shuttles seem very convenient.

What impressed you negatively?

It was cold...

A campus map would have been nice. It's a large campus and it can be hard to find your way around.
