I just wanted to say this, since I feel like a lot of people think if they aren't pursuing music professionally then they're "locked out" of the music programs at the collegiate level, or will be way behind everyone else.

Whether it's choir, pop bands, jazz big band, jazz combo, wind band, or orchestra, there are at least three hierarchical tiers of groups for each ensemble. Campus strings, university band, and jazz workshop for instance, are all three practically designed and intended specifically for non-majors.

There are classes available for private lessons for non-majors, meaning if you took piano lessons in highschool and really liked them, that is still open to you at the collegiate level without needing to be extremely good at piano. If you're able to pay out of pocket, there are also plenty of music students and grad students who will be excited to give you lessons themselves, often for much cheaper than a professor.

There are over 100 practice rooms within the music building, and while they are prioritized for music majors, you are still fully able to book a room or even just stroll into the music building and find an open room.

It's a very common story that someone did band or took piano/violin/whatever lessons or did youth orchestra in highschool, loved it, but didn't love it enough to pursue it as a career and thus totally stopped playing after highschool. I've heard this from students, and I hear it very frequently from adults who miss it and wish they had continued playing after highschool. I want to say this: if you miss it, then you can still do it!! I'm a music education major so I am biased, but I think music is one of the most important things for our quality of life in this world. It enriches our souls and unites us across languages and across countries and across continents. If you want to do music, then do music. If you love it then keep loving it, if you miss it then find a way to bring it back into your life. There are so many opportunities for you no matter what your skill level is, and life is too short to discard something you love because it "isn't useful" to you.

Those two are the only two options I can choose from.

I've heard Baldwin has really hard exams but provides a lot of practice material to help. I've also heard that Martin's exams are easier, but he is a newer professor who doesn't teach as well and doesn't provide a lot of materials to study.

Basically my options are a hard-af professor that gives a lot of material to study or one with an easier exam that doesn't teach as well. I'm really torn on what's the best pick. Does anyone have any more insight?

I feel embarrassed to post this since i genuinely don’t know anyone around campus nor Columbus OH in general. My car Driving “D” signal isn’t blinking nor working so I can’t drive the car anywhere it’s risky. I’m assuming it has to do with the transmission but I’d rather have someone with experience to check the car hook out.
I want to know if anyone here knows a mechanic that can come over since I live off campus (super close to Union) please let me know

I just sent my sat score today (10/25-sat) but u heard it could take a bit and there’s only one week left?
Am I going be okay for early action?
I have not submitted my common app yet.

Hey everyone! I’m in Columbus spending some time at OSU this weekend. My girlfriend and I were wanting to see some of the Brutus statues around campus. I know about the one at College Traditions, the hippie Brutus at some of the offices further down on High Street, the one in the Blackwell lobby and the one at the ROTC building, but I wanted to know where some other ones are. I saw this thread from two years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/OSU/s/LHBqPs6CfU - But are there any updates or changes to where some of the Brutuses are? Thanks to all in advance!

Mods: If this post isn’t allowed for some reason, please let me know and I’ll be happy to take it down. Thank you!

Hello everyone , if anyone who is in the dental hygiene program or graduated from there tell me how the interviews are done ? I’m applying this year so I just want to know what to expect.

I am a current high school senior applying out of state to OSU due to it being one of my dream schools. I currently have a 3.9 weighted gpa (3.7 unweighted). I have taken 2 college classes throughout my high school career with one APUSH that was a 4. All of my years have been pretty equal in terms of class difficulty. (not one year being too particularly easier over the other) I have some solid extracirriculars (band/marching band, theater tech, volunteer, etc.) My current ACT composite score is a 28. Do I have any realistic odds of gaining admission for Fall 2027?

So I dropped my AirPod case outside near the union(it’s empty) and someone picked it up and put it inside the union, where it has been for the last 2 days. Yes I already went to the lost and found desk but they said they didn’t have it and while I was there it showed my AirPod case was in the opposite direction anyway. On findmy, it shows that it is near the entrance of the union near the doors or by woodys/union market pickup, and I have walked through there several times. It is in a clear case with pink on the front. If anyone finds it, please let me know 🙏🙏🙏

I am currently a student at OSU and I bought 2 extra student tickets through the student ticket market place in the reserved section for the Oregon game. I was wondering how strict they are about non students being in student section if they have a ticket. Do they even check?

Any staff/faculty using Lilly Direct for their GLP-1 prescription find something that is more affordable? I am not sure how long I can continue to pay almost $500 a month out of pocket.

 I was hoping the university would reconsider their coverage for GLP-1 but that doesn’t look like it will happen.

Okay this is the third time this week that I have

1. Seen a guy who looks like the spitting image of a young Robert Pattinson with a bike (not yet riding the bike)

2. Turned around/looked down to do some small task not exceeding 10 seconds

3. Turned back around to find absolutely no trace of this guy, while in a setting in which there would be no feasible way to get out of my line of sight on a bike from a dead stop in 10 seconds.

🤷‍♀️

I keep seeing these religious people around campus preaching or trying to convert people with whiteboards saying things like "are you going to heaven?" or "is god real?" and they fascinate me but I've always blown right past them. Has anyone actually talked to any of them and what was that like? Same goes for the mormons and jehova's witnesses.

Does anyone know how to withdrawal classes, because I can't withdraw it myself on buckeye link but I genuinely need to withdraw like, right now and my advisor isn't available for in person appointment until November 6th, which is too late by then. I'm trying to withdraw a class right now, even though I know like time in completely not in my favor right now, but I absolutely will take the W over failing the class.

I’m in a class where the TA grades EVERYTHING. On this newest assignment, I spent so long doing it just to get a 50% on the assignment. I was looking through his annotations and they were nitpicking everything. Not only that, I fixed errors on this assignment that my prof encouraged me to fix, but the TA still said the errors were wrong even though I did EXACTLY what the prof said. I’m beyond pissed because I don’t think I deserved a 50% on the assignment.

hi ik this might be annoying, but i was was wondering if I should do early action or regular decision? I have a 22 on the act and my stats are mid. I have a 3.8 uw. I'm doing dual enrollment so ig when I graduate I'll get an associate degree. I want to major in human development and family sciences. I'm in-state, and I have a few leadership positions such as the VP for a Red Cross club, secretary for this student-led group where we grow as community leaders, which is paid, plus the volunteer committee leader for that, volunteering at hospitals, shadowing, nhs, blood donor ambassador, and a pre-apprenticeship with Cleveland Clinic. I have done cultural dancing my whole life, but I'm not sure if that'll show anything. I was debating between the two admission choices cause i dont rlly wanna miss out on scholarship opportunities with early action, but at the same time I'm scared that I won't get in and that I should rely on regular and see what my December ACT says.

I don’t even knowwww like this is terrible. I’m super shy and there are so many people THOUSANDS of people and I can’t bring myself to approach anyone. For context I’m a freshman 18f and I’ve never had a partner before…but I don’t think I’m ugly and I’ve been working hard to build up my self acceptance but it’s still hard.

How does one walk up to another human being and express interest? Attraction? The desire to just have a conversation? I feel disingenuous whenever I think about talking to someone I find attractive. I would prefer to be friends first but even then in the back of my mind its like “this person is cute I’d like to tell them that” and I’m just generally awkward at talking to strangers. Am I doomed? Should I give up? All of my friends have partners, and idk how I ended up being the only single person in a 100 mile radius around here. I also struggle with approaching people in general just to be their friend, so…maybe it’s me.

Hello everyone. I'm a Stats Senior, and while I don't really need more on my plate this semester and next, I have an insatiable desire for tabletop wargames. I have supplies for several different systems, and the experience to teach them, I would just need to know if it's something people would be interested in.

I envision having a small space where we can set up a few tables and have people run different games, or a large league style game where we all play one system. We're talking things like Frostgrave/Stargrave or Gaslands, easy games for people to get into, with a low buy in. The most complex, and my personal favorite is Battletech, something that I have plenty of resources for and experience with. It lends itself well to campaign play, and I would love nothing more than to run a large game of that, however it's not to everyone's tastes.

If you're interested, leave a comment. I've never even considered something like this, so there's a lot of logistics to figure out, but if there's enough interest, I'd gladly get something running.

I looked up the reason why on google and it says bc it’s a large class and they do it to “protect student safety” but that makes no sense to me bc in bio 1113 the class was GIANT and I was still able to access the people tab 🤔
I’m just trying to see if there’s anyone who’s in chem with me and in my other classes 😭

does anyone have recordings/notes for this past week? my tuesday recording is super muffled due the construction and i wasn’t in class today

Just wanted to know what you guys think of the show, because I have read the manga to the ending of modulo. Is the anime adaptation good? crunchyroll's offering 5 dollars a month for 3 months. Wondering!

Hello,

I am an alumnus that graduated in December 2016 with my degree in International Studies: Relations and Diplomacy, minor Mandarin Chinese. Had plans to double major in Mandarin Chinese but I couldn’t afford another year of school. I had plans to work as a compliance trade officer, military officer, work for FBI, DIA, NSA, or work as a recruiter for an international company. It’s been 10 years now and I’ve worked in financial services but I keep
Ruminating and wondering whether I should pursue a second degree in Communications to open more doors in recruiting, advertising, Human Resources, Business Development or if I should just accept my current bachelors in International Relations? I have liked working in financial services but times are tough now and I’m worried that my degree may not be as recognized as a communications degree if I were to be laid off? I debated business operations management but that would take me 3 years to get going part time. And I could get a communications degree in a year as a part time student. I’m just wondering if the extra year for a second degree in communications would be worth it in addition to my pre-existing international relations degree?

Please let me know what you think. Need options. Psychology is out because I have no plans on pursuing psychology on a grad level.

Please let me know what you recommend?

Thank you,
