Undergraduate / Football team, people, tradition, excellence: "Why The Ohio State University?" [4]
Ever since I can remember, I have been infatuated with Ohio State's football team. My mom attended one of their games and brought me back a bracelet. It was inscribed with: PEOPLE, TRADITION, EXCELLENCE. Now as I think back on the bracelet, I realize that those words inscribed on it are the reason I want to go to The Ohio State University
.
PEOPLE: I have visited the university multiple times and every time I am able to meet new, interesting people. Everyone, from tour guides to staff, has been wonderful to me. I feel like I belong there when I am on campus. Nobody out casts me because I am just another student wishing for a future at OSU.
TRADITION: Ohio State is a place where I can become a part of a tradition. Academically, many people have obtained wonderful opportunities for the future from Ohio State. I want to be a part of that. Also, athletically, there are many opportunities to be part of a tradition. Not only in varsity sports, but also by participating in clubs or intramural teams. The Ohio State University and its students have set a tradition that I would love to become a part of.
EXCELLENCE: I come from a very small town and I want to feel the atmosphere of a large school and relish in the benefits of it. From what I have heard, the excellent programs at OSU are exactly the type I would like to be involved in. I want to shape my future with excellent professors, students, and technology and I know The Ohio State University is the place I can do that.
I want to meet the people, be a part of the tradition, and achieve excellence at The Ohio State University.
