OSU Receptions..

Throughout the year, OSU Lima holds several Open Houses on Fridays, and takes campus visits all through the week. In the spring, we tend to mix it up. The past two days (Wednesday, and Thursday) we have traveled to Cincinnati, and Dayton, both receptions in which I put together.
The receptions are informational meetings for admitted students. The students learn about what OSU Lima has to offer, listen to some of our professors’ talk, and get a chance to meet with our financial aid counselors.

I was unable to attend the Cincinnati reception, but I did however get a chance to go to Dayton. OSU Lima over the years has seen a number increase in students from outside the area. Mostly because, Main campus has been deferring more and more students each year; making it harder for hopeful high school seniors attempting to get in. Luckily there’s OSU Lima.

A lot of students seem to be upset when they have to settle for "second best", but I have noticed that more often than not, students seem to be happy, and make the best of Lima. The smaller class sizes and one on one attention from professors, I believe make it easier for incoming freshman to transfer to college course work.
