Ohio State Physics | Reviews & Experiences

In summary, there was a discussion about the undergraduate physics program at Ohio State and what stood out to individuals who had experience with it. The program was highly regarded as an excellent launching pad for graduate school, but out of state tuition could be expensive. It was recommended for Ohio residents or those who could graduate debt free. There was also mention of the question being asked for other schools.

A student I mentor applied there and was accepted. I had a really close look at the program, and I regard their program as excellent, especially as a launching pad to graduate school. I lived in Ohio for a decade and taught at a college there. I've also personally visited the Ohio State Physics department. Ohio State is a very good school, and their Physics program is deserving of a top 25 ranking nationally.

But like most schools, out of state tuition can be very high without lots of scholarship cash. In the end, I advised this student that Ohio State was not 50k better than another option where they could graduate debt free.

But if you are an Ohio resident or can otherwise put together a plan to attend and graduate debt free from Ohio State with a degree in Physics, I highly recommend it.

You posted an identical question like this for Michigan State. How many more can we expect from you?
