The time I spent at OWU was theQuite BrightPolitical Science
The time I spent at OWU was the most wasted time in my life. Most of the students there don't deserve to BE in college...but they got in because OWU will accept anybody who shows the slightest neural activity. And once those people are in, they spend 4 years drinking and having fun...they certainly don't need to WORK because the standards are so low. If you're serious about learning, and want a good education, DON'T go here! As a final note, a very large percentage of the best students are international...which seems to suggest that OWU can't lure enough smart Americans (and no wonder) so they have to import smart people from obscure locales like Cyprus and Cameroon.

Question
My college experience was wonderful and I smallAccounting
My college experience was wonderful and I small liberal arts college is probably the best situation to become involved in organizations, meet people, and get a quality education. The campus is beautiful and full of history and tradition. Delaware is not the most wonderful city in Ohio, but I believe the city embraces the university and the community and college campus seem to work together fine.The sports programs are division III, but most are coached by people that are dedicated to the sport and the students. as well as the academics. This campus is something that makes me smile and I would not change my college decision, if I were to do it all over again.

Question
The admissions process at this school is ofBrightUndecided
The admissions process at this school is of a poor quality and thus a lot of undesirable students attend, who don't belong. If you're from out of state don't go here! OWU consists of naive kids from Ohio who lead sheltered lives and are ignorant of the world. The town where OWU is located is a ghost town. There are maybe 3 or 4 bars, liquor stores, a gas station, barber and super market. The school has been cracking down on campus drinking, so the party scene here has become endangered, leaving no otheractivities on campus or in Delaware. Plus they don't issue parking permits until students are juniors, leaving students immobile. If they offer a generous scholarship, don't fall into the trap of enrolling, it is a waste of 4 years of boredom.
