A home away from home
Located among beautifully wooded hills, OHIO is known for more than its beauty—it’s a welcoming place and a peaceful, safe environment where new friends are waiting to meet you. At OHIO, you’ll be part of a community. Through new friendships, participation in student organizations, undergraduate research, NCAA Division I athletics, recreational activities, a lively arts community and honors programming, you’ll find your place here. At OHIO’s Athens campus, you can even participate in a Learning Community designed specifically to help transfer students make connections and succeed academically.

Professors who are both teachers and mentors
From spending extra time after class discussing concepts to answering emails over the weekend, OHIO's professors are approachable, accessible and committed to your success. With small class sizes and personable faculty members, students receive individualized attention. Faculty members are engaged in cutting-edge research and creative work, leading The Carnegie Foundation to designate OHIO as a very high research activity institution—joining the highest level of research institutions in the country.
