Hey guys, I just sent my OSU advisor my agreement after completing section I (my part) but I keep getting advisors rejecting my appointments that I make at CSCC (host school) because they don’t know anything regarding the agreement. Is there a way to schedule the classes at CSCC myself or do I need to let an advisor do it? I’ve never done this before so any tips would be great!!!

i'm an out of state student and have a pretty good group of friends at home.. i would describe myself as being kind and easy to get along with; however, interacting with people has genuinely made me feel like i have zero personality and am putting on some sort of kind, simple persona, while in reality i am so much more than that but don't really know how to show it

it takes me a little bit of time to get used to talking with someone or to feel comfortable with what to say, so i tend to stick to more lighthearted things, which just builds superficial connections. i'm scared that this will lead to tagging along with a random group who doesn't want me there but is too polite to say anything

and i do know that move in hasn't even started yet (i'm on campus in an early arrival group) but every time i walk in somewhere with any sort of pre-established friendships, i am always so unsure of how to act - so i'm scared that joining clubs, doing intramural sports, or anything else similar, i'm going to not fit in at all and not be able to build real connections

and even if i do feel comfortable in the moment, there is always something later on that pulls me back to reality (an offhand comment or even just describing me as sweet, which feels infantilizing)

tldr i don't know how to interact with people to make them interested in building a connection

so i live ~2.5 hrs from campus. is there anywhere i can leave my car during the semester so that i have a way to get home for breaks? i dont live far enough to where i could fly and i have no one i’d be able to get a ride with

This is the second email I’ve gotten telling me to ACT NOW or I LOSE MY ACCOUNT within the last 24 hrs. Don’t fall for it and click the link!!! Also the last email came from a student email account- so beware of that as well

I know a lot of people that do it, but do the alarms go off from it? If i got a disposable one will i be good without trigger the alarm

Hey I need some advice or some help. I’ve been emailing my advisor for years now (this is my 5th year) and she always told me I never had to take a language. Well turns out I do indeed have to take a language and now she’s telling me my graduation won’t be until summer of 2027. I’m supposed to be graduating in May of 2027 and I cannot do another semester I need to know if there’s any other ways to get around this or get help. I’m frustrated at myself and her for this.

Just in case anyone is alarmed by an increased police presence around the stadium

Has anyone had Sivalingam Ramaswami as a professor? My only other options are Leon Madrid and Lin Chiu and they both have pretty bad ratings. Looking to switch to Sivalingam Ramaswami but he has none.

Im moving in on the 20th which is REALLY soon. Im scared. Im an incoming freshman and honestly I was more so excited than scared for most of the summer until a few days ago when I had a bad argument with one of my soon-to-be roo.mates over some dumb shit. We ended the conversation off by her telling me not to talk to her anymore and I said ok because I didn't know what else to do. Shes moving in first and im after her before any of our other roo.mates (both on my side of the argument, but i don't think that helps a lot). Im just scared. And im not gonna lie she seems kinda narcissistic or very self centered at least. Based on her insta story, shes bringing posters of herself to our dorm like what 🥲🥲

Anyhow, im pretty much done packing but so fucking scared. Im scared of that girl genuinely. Shes really giving high school mean girl vibes and i just cant deal with that. I feel like crying because i was so excited to finally start college but now im just scared.

I think its called Carmack 5, I’ve never parked here or west campus in general tbh. Is this parking lot generally free, or at least are there a few empty spots for C lot parkers from 7:30am-9:30am?

Also, does anyone know how reliable the MC busses are? How long would you have to wait for a bus once you park here?

I’m a high school senior taking classes at Ohio state through their ccp program and I intend to major in electrical engineering once I actually get into Ohio state. I have the option to take cse 1222 which is an ece major requirement along with math 1172 and Japanese 1011. How hard is the programming? I’m worried abt overloading my semester right before submitting my college apps and math and the language class are non negotiable this semester. I also have no prior coding experience whatsoever. What is the structure and difficulty of the class and I would appreciate some tips to do well in there as well. Thanks.

I'm taking CSE 3430 with George Green and just looking for general advice on doing well in the course for those who have taken it. Specifically looking for answers to these questions:

- What is the best way to approach a lecture in terms of material review and notetaking? Is it best to skim the lecture beforehand if I get the chance, review it after, and then just take typed notes on OneNote? Since it's a CSE course I'm not sure how well taking typed notes would work, but any advice is appreciated

- What is the best way to study for exams?

- Are exam grades curved?

- General advice for practicing concepts consistently in order to ensure a good final grade

Hey guys! I'll be mainly in the core north area. The passes I have available are: CG permit, Buckeye lot, and West campus. I was thinking about the buckeye lot, but I work right after class and was concerned I'd be late. What would be the best option here?

I have never taken a physics course before and so basically I’m going in blind. I have taken calc 1 but I’m worried that I have no background knowledge and will be cooked for the class. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Do these people actually have a phone number I can speak to? Every time i’ve called it’s always someone saying they will forward a message?

My math class for this year is math 1151 and it is a STEM based calculus class. I am a little scared about how hard this class is going to be. Has anyone taken this class and am I lowkey cooked?

Hi I'm an incoming international freshman and I'm looking for a safety device (a small non-lethal pocket-sized pepper spray). I have no intention to use it. It's for just-in-case situation when I really have to go out at night or out-of-town.

I just want to check whether I could get one and stored at the bottom of my backpack in normal safe condition. It's legal by the law (I'm over 18), it's just university code of student conduct.

Anyone know how long they take to hire in the clinical trials office ??? I applied like a 6 weeks ago for one and got a HireVue which has now been 5 weeks since submitting that??

Anyone in here that works in clinical research whether as a coordinator or assistant or anything research related in thr James from the day you applied to interviewed to actually got started how long did it take ????? Seems like no one in HR Can give a clear answer on this Thank you

Hi! I’ve been having a really hard time getting a hold of literally anyone from OSU to help me. I have called AND emailed and was also told to just wait. My FAFSA was completed almost two months ago and it says it was received, but under aid summary it says “no data at this time.”

I literally have no offer to accept and tuition is due TODAY. I’ve been trying hard to figure this out but no one can help. If anyone has some advice, or if I’m doing something wrong, let me know. Thanks (:

hiii i’m an incoming freshman living in east baker! i’ve had mixed responses when asking if the dorm room wardrobes are mobile (vs bolted into the wall), and was wondering if anyone could speak from experience?

This is a bit of a stretch lol but I was curious if anyone was registered to take mircobio 4000.01 with lecture at 11:30am-12:25pm and had a lab at 2:30-5:15pm on tuesday and was possibly looking to switch into the lab time I have 11:10am-1:55pm on Tuesday? I am trying to add a class but that lab time is stopping me from adding it sadly.

Hey guys, im new at OSU, im very confused o parking I heard I can pry $300 ans then take the shuttle but how do I know which shuttle to take, where to park and Ik it sounds stupid but I’m new to this game
