Students Say
The resources at OSU are 鈥渇ocused on student access.鈥 The administration doesn鈥檛 鈥渉esitate to interact with the students to give them advice or even just to have casual conversation.鈥 Also, the school is 鈥渏ust a hop, skip, and a jump away from downtown Columbus, home of the Ohio Statehouse, Ohio Supreme Court, and many other courts, organizations, and firms.鈥 This is very helpful in acquiring externship opportunities and jobs within the community. Although there are 鈥渋ncreasing career outreach opportunities through Career Services,鈥 some worry that outside the state of Ohio resources might be 鈥渓imited.鈥 There鈥檚 a strong 鈥渘etwork of alumni,鈥 and even though some students did stress their concern over finding jobs out of state, one student offers, 鈥淓ven if you don鈥檛 plan to stay in Ohio, OSU has great regional ties throughout the Midwest and a strong national reputation.鈥 Another student says the alumni and the Columbus legal community believe in the school鈥檚 mission and will continue to help out when they can. Still students emphasize concern over the lack of East Coast firms coming to campus to recruit.
Students mention the 鈥減rimarily left-leaning鈥 nature of the faculty and student body. While some love this aspect, others disputed it as fact. Whichever way the pendulum might swing, at OSU 鈥渁 strong current of tolerance pervades.鈥 In the classroom and outside it, all views are expressed and accepted. Facilities and technology are a worry at OSU. Both are described as 鈥渟urprisingly lacking.鈥 However, they 鈥渏ust finished remodeling the student union and the main library,鈥 and one student notes, 鈥淭he facilities have gotten much better this year.鈥

鈥淭he law school is literally right next to the center of campus social life.鈥 Most students agree its location is convenient. 鈥淒irectly across the street is the brand new Ohio Union, twenty restaurants and bars, a concert venue, movie theaters, coffee shops, and more.鈥 There are a multitude of places for students to relax and gather before and after class. To further foster a sense of community, 鈥渆very weekday at noon, there are no classes and an impressive amount of group and club events, guest speaker presentations, debates, and other special events happen every day.鈥
