I'm a third year at OSU. For the most part, I'm very happy with my decision to come here. I swear there could not be a clinic in the country run more ineffecientlly than ours...but I think many students and most schools feel this way. I know it's a complicated issue, but at times I really question the intelligence of some of the people around here. You have to love state employees. 👍
I wish the class size was a little smaller, but that being said, I love our class. The people make the school. I think there are enough patients, but I wish there were more who have the money to do the work. You will be very strong in some areas and not so strong in others. For example, if you're willing and ready, you can take out any tooth that comes through the emergency clinic, with very few exceptions. Just today, my classmate did a full surgical extraction, complete with a flap, tooth sectioning, and bone removal. The residents will help you along, but they let you do everything. But other areas, like endo, you will not get the same amount of exposure.
I love Columbus. It's a wonderful city to live in. There are so many good areas, along with some bad ones. Some areas around campus can be pretty bad, but there are plenty of nice places to live, both close to campus and further away.
...And did I mention the football? 😉
In short, there have been days that I have hated every single thing about Ohio State, but by and large, I've been happy with my decision to come here.
