What does it mean to be a Buckeye?
To be a Buckeye means going to one of the largest universities in the country. However, instead of getting lost in the enormity of OSU, you find yourself in the community and abundance of opportunities. You first join too many organizations but then you stick with the ones that best fit who you are becoming, create long-lasting bonds with people who have various experiences and cultures, and maybe adjust your major along the way. Being a Buckeye is not a singular event that takes place in four years but a journey that impacts the rest of your life.
