Columbus hasn't given me a ceiling at any point.
There’s no barriers to getting anything done here. It’s very collaborative,
very cool, very fun.
It’s a great city to grow and to thrive in.
There are few cities that have the caliber of opportunities for recent graduates.
By balancing your academic experience with real-world experience, you’re in a position
to succeed, and it’s up to you to choose your own adventure at Ohio State.
There’s a bunch of Fortune 500 companies in Columbus and they all have a huge presence
on campus.
As a student, you can even start networking with these companies as early as your first year.
They have something here for everybody and everybody is accepted here.
We have a very large international presence and I think that’s really imperative to
my growth and my development from the 18-year-old girl to the young professional that I am today.
My confidence in myself really grew while I was at school. My political science classes
really taught me how to really think big…what there is in the world around us.
That has really helped me a lot in the positions that I’ve been able to hold in my career.
I transferred to OSU and I had a really incredible experience in getting to know Columbus.
That was one of the really great benefits: a city that is readily accessible to you.
I was able to really connect with a lot of different community-based organizations and
it really led me to my current field and my passion.
Ohio State prepared me for everything that I do now, from undergrad classes and then
on into my professional schooling.
Even though we are in this city, we’re still not that far away from rural environment and
being able to get our hands on and learn about those things.
Ohio State is just doing a stellar job as far as preparing teachers.
As a city we are really involved in education and research.
And it’s a place that I don’t really see myself leaving anytime soon.
Faculty and staff at the College of Nursing were great mentors to me.
I had an awesome clinical placement, which is what allowed me to get this job at Grant.
Medically speaking, I think it's a great place to be.
We have three hospital organizations.
It’s a city filled with a lot of young people, but a lot of families...great places to live.
It’s a great city for entertainment and music. It's a great city for art.
I love the nightlife. I love going to sporting events—just lots of opportunity to not sit
in your house on a Friday or Saturday night.
At Ohio State I met a lot of great friends, grad students, professors, also in my internships—good
professional contacts as well as close friends to this day.
The city has everything that you need. It’s an intelligent city.
I knew that I wanted to be directing my energy towards the health care industry and luckily
I found something like that in my backyard.
I never regretted my decision coming here.
I’ve learned so much; not only from school but from the city.
I’ve made so many friends here.
I’ve gotten job offers from other companies, but I was like, “No, my life is here now.”
Ohio State is a world in itself.
Learning how to navigate, learning how to respect differences, learning how to be open
to change—those things have helped me be successful.
I’ve had a chance to experience all the great things that Columbus has to offer.
One of the biggest things that I enjoy are some of the small businesses that are growing here
and that are flourishing here—places like Homage.
Going to college in Columbus at Ohio State, your education isn’t limited to the classroom.
We’re almost defined by the fact that you can literally do anything in Columbus.
You can kind of pave your own way and the community is supportive of people that do that.
My wife and I knew we wanted to move back to Columbus.
Just that value proposition of being in one of the biggest cities in the country and being
at one of the biggest universities in the country. That combination can really accelerate
the most return on investment.
It is socially a great place to be and professionally the best place to be.
