In fact, China has not only many students, but also one of the largest universities in North America with the largest number of students.

The famous universities in QS World University Rankings are all universities with good strength, and different evaluation systems have different evaluation dimensions for them. If we want to compare these universities with similar strength, the ranking is not authoritative and credible, and we should compare them from our actual needs. Two. Introduction to Ohio State University Ohio State University (OSU), founded in 1870, is located in Columbus, Ohio, USA. Association of american universities (AAU) is one of the first members to join (19 16) and one of the top ten alliance members. It is one of the top public universities in the United States, and is called the public Ivy League. The main campus of the university covers an area of 65 square kilometers and is one of the largest campuses in the United States. The majors offered cover almost all academic fields, especially sociology, politics, economics, physics, astronomy, journalism and communication. Its business school is one of the founding members of 19 16 AACSB.

Ohio State University also has many health and entertainment facilities on its campus-including two 18-hole national first-class golf courses, indoor gymnasiums, gymnasiums, swimming pools and tennis courts, and Ohio Gymnasium, the third largest stadium in the United States. 3. How about Ohio State University? How about school security? On the whole, this is really a close call. There have always been some messy things in recent years, such as shootings or bomb threats near the campus. But on the whole, the school's public security is still quite ok. Because the school area is very large, you don't have to leave the campus for about a week. If you need to commute at night, you can contact the school police and they will take you where you want to go. But in particular, Ohio allows foreign students to carry guns. Even many international students around me finally chose OSU, because guns can be bought here ... and as long as there are conditions for holding guns, there will be crazy gun fans. I met the best students around me, so I gave up UCSB's proposal and chose this place, because OSU can hold a gun ... But in contrast, the fact that I can hold a gun will still cause some China students a little worry. This may be because of different ideas. Americans think that "your neighbor keeps the grain and you keep the gun, and his home is the grain depot" ... But for China people who live in peace, the gun should still be in the hands of the police. 2. How stressful is the study? I think the biggest feeling of studying in OSU is that the resources are there. You can choose to spend four years in college easily and leave with a good GPA, or you can choose to challenge yourself and learn a lot from top teachers all over the world. First of all, because this is a state university, there are many students studying here in the state. Sometimes in class, you wonder why they can't even do this ... So compared with top state universities, getting a high GPA here is not a huge challenge. But if you are willing to join the teacher's research project through your own efforts, then you will certainly gain a lot. If you want to get relevant information, you can go to the website of the department to learn more about it, and then contact the teacher. But it is not particularly easy to apply for scientific research projects. I remember there is still a GPA limit, probably above 3.5. Moreover, OSU's business school ranks very high, so there will still be great pressure to study business here. 3. What is the classroom capacity of 3.OSU? Well, this is really a big problem. Some introductory courses, like other public schools, have hundreds of people crowded together. However, there are also some advantages. For example, many people like to read books and teach themselves in introductory classes, and this kind of lecture for hundreds of people can be avoided directly. Because it's definitely not as good as attendance. 4. Are there any special courses in 4.OSU? Yes! For example, you can go directly to the next OSU airport and learn to fly a plane here. There are two or three classmates around me who began to learn to fly a plane as soon as they came in. They are small planes with single engines. Usually, some of them fly around in the sky on weekends. I still feel very comfortable. 5. What's life like here? Feel like a carefree and happy life in a third-tier city? Generally speaking, schools, whether dormitories or canteens, are very online. Although it is not up to people's praise, they are all satisfied. Freshmen generally need to live in dormitories, and then people gradually move out. And because the house price here is reasonable, the accommodation can be very comfortable. And here you have a lot of happiness that other international students can't experience. For example, I was dragged into the wild by my classmates who like to play with guns. This kind of thing, if you don't go to school in the village, you must not understand it! What is Ohio State University equivalent to in China? Do you understand now?
