I’m a CSE major but now I’m not sure if I should even be calling myself that because this past year I somehow managed to ruin my whole life because I couldn’t handle the load and burned out hard. Ended this year with a 1.6 gpa, and now I’m on academic probation. I’m planning on changing my major, because the subject I’m in just doesn’t align with me anymore.
This summer I’ve been working hard to develop new study habits and routines to improve my life in general. I’m retaking Math 1172 this summer and so far it’s going really well, and I’ve really been on top of familiarizing myself with material ahead of time. But even if I get an A in the class, I’ve already been deemed ineligible for financial aid and they don’t reevaluate eligibility until next spring. I know I could save a lot of money by commuting, but it’s too late to back out of my housing contract. So now I have no idea what I’m supposed to do because I’m finally gaining confidence in myself, but even if my academic success goes up from here, my terrible first year is going to follow me for the rest of my college career.

What bachelors degree is the easiest to get? Elaborate if you want

No notification, no email, nothing. OSU columbus campus shut down all their busses in the middle of the day today, with no warning, for a Bruno Mars concert. This is incredibly disappointing. Many students now have to walk miles in the rain to get back to their cars. We pay to be here. We pay for parking. We pay bus fare as part of our tuition. This is a school, not an event center, so why are we prioritizing a concert over the actual students. It did not feel like the school considered the impact this would have on students at all. Maybe I'm unreasonably upset over this, but I'm also wet and tired. I did not feel very cared for by my school in this moment.

Edit: im being told there was an email on the 13th to all campus park holders. I am not a campus park holder, my sibling is cuz we share a car. Apparently the email's title was about the concert tho so this can be very easily overlooked by someone not interested in the concert. Also no matter how much warning they did send what are buckeye lot students supposed to do. That's a long walk and everyone can't be using the cabs at once. I've never had to use those before so I don't even know how they work. And I know I wasn't the only one who missed that single email because there was a lot of other students waiting at the bus stops for a bus that never came

Edit 2.0: im home and dry and have simmered doen some lol. It was emailed in the on campus emails but I don't usually read those. I thought they were more for letting students know about fun stuff coming up on campus. Not super necessary information but good to know. I will definitely be keeping a closer eye on that in the future. I still feel this should have had its own separate email and at least one or two buses running, but we can just agree to disagree on that one

I'm mostly deciding between PT vs. PA right now, and a big factor is my sophomore prerequisite classes. Mainly, the difference boils down to whether or not I'll have to take Ochem I&II for PA or not. I’ve already completed the gen chems in my freshman year and finished with a 95 and a 91 in gen chems I and II, respectively. While I finished high, both classes were constant hard work and studying, with Gen Chem II being a particularly stressful time for me towards the end. Chemistry overall is just not the most interesting science class to me, and having to take two more semesters of it looks very daunting to me, especially with something with a rap sheet like Orgo.

Literally no one I’ve ever met enjoyed Orgo. A friend close to me literally switched fields after failing Orgo II twice. Everyone else I know who's taken it hates it and thinks it's miserable, with a bunch having to take it twice.

But overall, I'm really not sure. I had a better grade in the gen chems out of all these friends, and I've heard Orgo has no calculations, which I appreciate. Since it's so much different from the gen chems, I think there is a chance I'll thrive in it, but after hearing such bad things about it, I'm really afraid of screwing up my GPA, which I need to maintain.

I’m literally in so much debt right now and wondering when my financial aid and return would kick in…anyone got theirs ?

I’m in town for a summer internship and don’t know how to meet people but I like to play volleyball and pickleball and go hiking/backpacking and stuff. If you enjoy any activities at all of any kind and want to hang out let me know :D

I'm currently a junior here at OSU and I'm considering getting a mba here. What is everything I should know about the MBA program here. Is it easier to get into as an OSU graduate. What does tutiton look like? What's the best way to get into the program?

Has anybody taken a fanny pack, ( specifically a Lululemon belt bag) into a concert at Ohio Stadium? I’m aware the dimensions are 5x8x1 for the bag policy. The belt bag is 5x7.5x2. Are they measuring bags?

If anyone could be so good, pls consider an upvote and comment. I know it's low effort but I don't know what else to do

Hello! 2020 grad here who was very much looking forward to going to the shoe I never walked at for the twenty one pilots concert 10/17/26. Ticketmaster had other plans and glitched so I did not get tickets in the presale today.

Does anyone know if there is a program/option for alumni to purchase tickets for events at Ohio Stadium that may not be open to non-alumni?

Columbus' bus operator, COTA, is currently going through its regular update of plans for the service network, for plans to be implemented in 2027-2031.

In the current proposal for service changes, there's a line 99:

>Line 99 is a new route connecting John Glenn Columbus International Airport, downtown Columbus, and OSU Columbus campus with fas service operating on the freeway. Line 99 will operate hourly everyday from 5:00 AM to 12:00 AM.

Reddit won't let me upload a screenshot of the route, so to see its route: go here, click on "By Line or Zone", then on the left side of the page use the drop-down to choose route 99.

Despite running past the Convention Center, it doesn't stop there, so this wouldn't really be useful for trips to conventions. You can help change that by commenting that it should stop at the Convention Center hotels.

If you're looking at the timeline and thinking, "I will graduate by then," think of all the times that you wanted to go someplace, but not having a free and fast ride to the airport made it hard to arrange a trip. Support this, so that future students won't be in the situation you were in.

Hey, just curious what people usually get in financial aid. I got a 35 ACT and should have National Merit so hoping to get some amount off. I think my ECs are decent. Ik presidents full ride is for 36 but was wondering if people get comparable aid for close to that mark. I’m also in state if that helps with things.

I got into the SMB-A program and with the cap on federal loans for grad school, I will have to resort to private loans. In hopes of avoiding that, I was wondering if its possible to get a GA position with a tuition waiver and/or stipend outside of my department? I have a bachelor's in economics and a minor in philosophy and I live very close to campus if that helps.

Hey everyone! I am an incoming grad student from outside the Columbus area and have been searching for housing. I found a place at a good price on East 12th Ave, but I've heard some mixed things about the area. Is the area as bad as I've heard? I figured it could get loud, but does anyone know how bad or dangerous it is? Thanks!

Im an incoming international freshman and i run 5-10Ks...where do students usually jog on or around campus?

Hello. I am planning to attend a concert at Ohio Stadium in October. I live less than an hour and a half away from the stadium and can't justify $600 to $800 for a hotel so I'd like to just drive home after the concert. I'd imagine parking will be a nightmare. I've heard you can reserve parking spots in advance but my attempts so far have been unsucessful(maybe you can't book this far ahead?). Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance!
