WHAT ARE STUDENTS SAYING?

• "A campus visit is a good idea for anyone interested in OSU. It was very informative, more so than all the literature. Very impressive and personable! I have attended other university programs which did not give this one-on-one approach."
  
• "We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the campus. We have visited smaller colleges that were not as well kept as Ohio State."
  
• "I am very pleased with the product I have purchased at this University I feel my purchase of Ohio State University will be beneficial to my future."
  
• "We found the Ohio State University to be the most diverse, affordable and productive research institution in the state."

WHAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE?
Depends. Current costs for an Ohio Resident attending the Columbus campus as a full-time student, will be $8,676. Full-time status at a regional campus will cost $5,664. Room and Board is an additional $7,581 and estimated costs (such as books, supplies, travel, etc.) are estimated at $4,149. Tuition for nonresidents of Ohio attending the Columbus campus is $21,285 and $18,273 for regional campuses. Again, Room and Board is a separate cost from tuition.

WHAT ARE THE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS?
Your acceptance to OSU will depend on your class rank, GPA, College Entrance Exam scores and other factors. Make sure you have the appropriate documents available when you apply. If you haven’t taken the ACT or SAT, check with your high school counselor to schedule the exam. If you are transferring from another college, you will need to supply an original transcript from that institution.
