While I am a big football fan, that was not even on my list of things to consider when choosing a school. There are plenty of people in my class who don't care about football at all.
To address your question, I'd say my favorite thing(s) about OSU are the students, and the incredible amount of personal support you receive here. Firstly, my classmates and colleagues above me are absolutely fantastic. They are probably the biggest reason I initially chose OSU, as I could have gone elsewhere. I went to second look and met a whole host of people who would be forming my class, and it just felt so right. Our class is very social, and very collaborative. There's always someone to study with, hang out with, party with, or just talk to if you need it. Admissions did a great job in that respect.
That brings me to my second reason: Faculty and administration are very engaged in your success, both as a physician and as a person. This is something I have discovered more during my first three mo There are so many resources and opportunities for mentorship that it feels practically impossible to fail here. I have at least five dedicated physician mentors that I've been assigned as part of various aspects of the curriculum, and each of them bring something to helping me achieve my goals. It's a very comforting feeling knowing how well we are supported here.
That's probably enough rambling for now. To quickly mention a couple other things, I'll point out that OSU and Columbus has tons of other perks I enjoy, but those are mainly quality of life stuff, like a good music scene, great food places, full access to University resources, etc. (the discount ticket office here, and the Ohio Union Activity Board are legit here).
