"Since my undergraduate was in Electronics, transition to computer science, that too graduate level, makes it very difficult to compete with batch mates who have had experience in the field for four years and are well aware of the topics. Getting an adviser to support the thesis also becomes extremely difficult because of two reasons: 1. Non CSE background (which is why they are skeptical of investing time and money on you) 2. Masters student (PhD students are always preferred) In spite of all these factors, i feel that even if your aim is to do a PhD, its better to get into Masters program first so that you get a clear idea of your research potential before actually jumping into it. Moreover a Masters from a good school opens your gate to better schools for Doctorate degree."

"The anthropology graduate program at OSU has been incredible. I have earned my M.A. at a different institution, and it did not even come close to being as supportive, productive, and encouraging as this one. The professors have high expectations, yet they remember that you are still learning in the program. The professors tend to help graduate students who are not only their own students, so the department is very close."

"My first couple of years at OhioState were hard. I was a commuter and I felt that I had no connection to the school. The classes were so large and no teachers knew my name. After I found my major, however, I started really loving OSU. The classes within my major were small and I started meeting with my teachers 1 on 1. I became an ambassador for my college and I also got involved in the Portuguese club. I am sad it took me so long to get involved, but I am glad I did."

"Attending The Ohio State University was one of the best choices I have ever made. Not only did I receive a great education (allowing me to both have great jobs and be accepted into a Master's Degree program since graduating), but I also made lifelong memories and also met my spouse there. If you're thinking of Ohio State, go for a visit and see for yourself how wonderful it is! Go Bucks!"

"I liked OSU as a school. The faculty and staff are great. However I feel my degree turned out to be more theory than anything applicable in real life. Because of this I am working in a field outside of my degree."

"I attended the four year part-time MSW program that was a partnership between Wright State University (WSU) and OSU. Overall I am glad that I chose the program and feel my money was well spent. My main complaint is that the program utilized some professors who were not competent enough to lead a Master's level course. One specific instructor worked for Wright State and several of the MSW students made complaints to the head of the MSW program about her poor teaching skills. As of 2015, OSU is now partnered with Miami University, rather than Wright State, for their MSW program."

"Lots of opportunities at osu, being a bigger school it can be a little intimidating at first, but there is always something to do. Also the diversity of programs and faculty make it easy to study exactly what you want."

"The math department of OSU provides a friendly environment for graduate student. They have well organized administration and facilities support. Strong areas include Topology, number theory, ergodic theory, math bio, and others. The main campus in The city of Columbus has a fancy sport center and of course the home stadium of OSU football team."

"Originally, the size of the Ohio State University scared me. After my first year however, I can't imagine having gone anywhere else. My advisors were always available and super helpful, as were my professors. And there are so many ways to stay connected on campus that I never felt like just another face in the crowd."

"Very wide range of experiences here. Some classes are huge and anonymous and some are small and direct. Overall the school is huge and often hard to handle any questions or what seems to be simple administrative tasks. Not great for returning students or those needing any kind of non traditional scheduling. Lots of campus life, shopping and arts activities."

"I had a very traditional college experience at OSU, which was what I was looking for. There were many ways to get involved with the university, and a great amount of school spirit. While I did not feel that every class I took had great value, I did have access to great internships that prepared me for my career."
