r/OSU

Hello - I am a foreign national and reside in Columbus OH and I wanted to share that due to a company-wide restructuring and cost-cutting initiative, I was recently laid off from my firm after nearly 5 years with the firm.

Over the years, I had the opportunity to work across both the US and UK, delivering Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, and Reporting solutions. My experience includes Power BI, SQL Server (T-SQL), SSRS, SSAS, Databricks, Workday reporting, Excel, DAX, Tableau, and partnering closely with business stakeholders to build data-driven solutions. I have close to 7 years of experience.

As I’m currently on an work visa expiring in Oct 2028, I’m actively looking for new opportunities in Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, Reporting, Product Analytics, or Data Engineering across the US. If your company is hiring or if you know of any relevant openings or referrals, I would sincerely appreciate your support. I know OSU has a huge population that hires people as Data Analyst.

Thank you so much, and please feel free to message me directly. I’m happy to share my resume.

hello, I was just COAMed for the first time and I’m abt to graduate in a few weeks. I need my degree soon so I don’t have time to fight the charges. I’m planning on taking the administrative decision and admitting I cheated (even tho I didn’t :( ) anyways, my biggest question is does this permanently go on my record? I’m planning to apply to medical school in the future and i don’t want this to be something that comes up. I’m fine with just taking a lower grade in the class but this being something that comes up for medical school would really suck and change my decision to fight the charges. plz lmk if you know anything abt how COAM works, thanks

Not satisfied in my current social life and with no clubs active this summer has made me lonely. Thus I am looking for new friends via this subreddit if possible. I am Senior male political science major. My hobbies are gaming, music especially Heavy Metal, going out. I like finding new places to get a bite to eat. I also like night life. Furthermore i am also very politically active and love activism. Also I am open to both men and women friends. Feel free to make a comment or message me.

Is there any tool or resource that shows the stats on majors at OSU, such as the % of grads who found jobs, what fields/companies they ended up at, average starting salary, that kind of thing. Ideally specific to Ohio State but open to general tools too if they break it down by school.

I'm trying to make a more informed decision on my major, and I wanted actual data that's biased toward my advisors. Anyone know if OSU publishes this anywhere, or is there any site that tracks it?

umm hello. i saw a lot of people on rate my professor mentioned they got COAMed from taking louise campbells chocolate science class and were graduating seniors. so im in the same boat and just got COAMed. i was wondering how other people went about this? i’m nervous i have no chance to defend myself considering shes literally on the board for COAM. lmk what yall did

Incoming freshman, idk how college works

Hi guys!
I keep getting emails from CampusReady regarding their dorm packs and stuff. I was thinking about buying it, but I couldn't find reviews about the quality of the stuff (especially the bedding/ mattress pad) compared to the cost.
For those of you who ordered from them, did u find it to be a good investment (like for beyond dorm life?) or is it better for me to find things by myself through Amazon/Walmart?
PS: I am looking at the basic comfort pack, which is all the bedding stuff (1 Twin XL Reversible Comforter 2 Twin XL 3-Piece Sheet Sets 1 Pillow 1 Twin XL Mattress Pad 1 3-Piece Towel Set 1 Shower Caddy 1 Laundry Bag) for $159. I have storage stuff already so no use for those.
TIA!

At my previous land-grant university(MS), the administration actually listened to students.

I remember when rent increased significantly, students raised concerns and over the summer the university decided to increase GRA (MS/PhD) stipends across the board.

My stipend increased by 39%.

Now I’m at OSU, where rent is so much more expensive, yet the stipend is even lower than what I was making before.
It is honestly really difficult to make things work. After rent, utilities, groceries, insurance, and other basic expenses, there’s barely anything left.

I genuinely don’t understand how this is sustainable. How are PhD students expected to focus on research when they’re constantly worried about paying their bills? Is anyone else feeling the same way? This is so heartbreaking, I mean I am genuinely passionate about my research but this just breaks one's heart and soul 😭

Edit: not just Phd but also for MS GRA stipends

I'm taking summer semester, but have plenty of spare time. I've applied to jobs on workday, but I'm not sure when I'll hear back. I was wondering if there's any job available right now. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Quite pleasant in the shade!

For those of you who don’t know, 7OH (7-hydroxymitroginine) is a kratom extract that helps millions of people with chronic pain live their lives while managing their pain. I believe it is our duty as buckeyes to speak out against the ban and ask lawmakers to refer to the science.

Hello! I know I did this about a year ago but I wanted to rebump it for new students coming in. I’m a student bus driver! Any questions you have about the bus service or what it’s like working here, feel free to ask!

Last time my employer found my Reddit account (Hi guys!) so that was a lot of fun.

Obligatory mention that although I am a University Employee I am not speaking on behalf of Transportation and Traffic Management or the University in any way. These are all my opinions based on my experience. Nothing I say should be construed as an official university statement.

Have fun!

I'm currently deciding between Breezeline and Spectrum off campus and wanted to see peoples experiences with both on north campus. Breezeline is about half the price for the same speed, but I want to make sure it doesn't have many outages compared to Spectrum.

Go Bucks!
Looking at all sorts of options, am willing to walk a little. Work is 8a-5p M-F near the Wilce Health Center.

Starting to narrow it down a little bit. Would you suggest the west lot/shuttle or the Buckeye lot north of Campus? I've already been looking at campusparc's site and trying to figure it out. As a contractor I'm not an OSU employee so am probably limited on what I can purchase. My temp agency says I'm on my own, they aren't going to help.

Ugh. Im an incoming freshman and got the app recently but its SO bad on android. My bestie has an apple phone and hers is so much better. Cant even view my schedule because the format is so messed up. Fucking hell. Is it just me orrrr? I have a samsung.

I’m a rising junior (senior standing as I graduate in the fall). I didn’t get tickets and I’m so so upset. I heard that there were many students that didn’t get tickets, which is crazy. I got tickets last year so I guess I’m just a little hurt. Anyone else pretty upset at this?

I was wondering when Ohio State would release their AP scores given how I am currently someone who is bored out of their mine and wants to get dopamine from the scores while a ton of other colleges have their scores out.

Edit: They put mine in and I passed every AP meaning I will start with 41 credits.
