Any anons here currently attending or have attended Ohio State University?

I'll be spending nine weeks there starting this weekend and was wondering if anyone has any tips about campus or just general advice about Columbus and things to do.

Good cheap places to eat, best bars, and some nice parks to run in would be cool to know about.

Didn't know where else to go to ask about things like this.

No bands come to Columbus, our Symphony is a joke. So anything musical is out of the question(except for the few decent local bands).
People in the Columbus area love to drink, except for Westerville, but they're fagits. I don't know what kind of bars you like, but there are thousands of ways to get drunk here, with bars filling every niche possible.

I noticed that that there were very few bands I was interested in coming through the Columbus area and this honestly surprised me considering the size of the university.

What are some decent local bands? I'm into anything except country.

Bars I do enjoy but I'll be pinching pennies just a bit and I'm not female so going out often and paying top dollar for drinks may not happen very often.

Anything else to look out for, how is the population of students on campus during the summer? I'll be staying in the north dorms so can I expect to still see some people around and have a good chance of meeting a solid group of people to hang with?

I went to OSU. I'll try to remember some places to go. I'm 28 now, so it was about 4-5 years back when I was finishing up there.

Late night food in a bar setting that's cheap and pretty good can be found at the Blue Danube, on High Street near campus. Hipsters frequent the place, so if you're not into that scene, don't go.

There's a bar on High street called ummm... Fred's? I think. It was when I went there. The artsy kids spread rumors that it was a gay bar so frat boys wouldn't go. It worked, Fratties never drop in, so it's a chill vibe.

I'll post more in a bit, let me think about where I went and see if they are still there.

That bar is called Larry's, not Fred's now that I remember it. 2044 north high street, at woodruff.

Also, good reasonably cheap mexican food can be found at El Vaquero Mexican Restaurant, several locations around columbus. sit-down style, but good for the prices.

Wow thanks for all that. This is exactly the type of stuff I'm looking for.

Anyone else out there familiar with OSU or Columbus?

Columbus mostly sucks, but there's an awesome 24/7 pizza joint on N. High called Hound Dogs, just make sure if you get a pizza to get the 'Smokin Joes' crust. But usually gets really busy after bars close, also theres a bar connected to it that I can't remember the name of right now for some reason.

I remember that place. You're correct about it filling up after 2am. Everyone leaving local bars heads there for pizza. Good food though.

This has all been great. I really appreciate it.

But one question still bothers me, how many students are on campus over the summer? And ideas or guesses? Will it be a ghost town or can I still expect some liveliness?

It won't be a ghost town, kids will still be there. I lived just off campus year round, and the bars, etc were still busy. you're actually quite lucky to start in the summer. if you get tossed in to OSU campus with 50,000 students in fall, it can be too much to handle.

The cool thing about starting in the summer is, you get to discover everything at a relaxed pace... then if you're still there when fall comes, you'll almost have an attitude of "where the fuck did all the kids come from, messing up my campus". lines get forever long, sidewalks packed, etc.

enjoy the campus in the summer, it's really the best time to explore it. :D

Yeah I've spent some time at the University of Washington campus this past week and the amount of people was fucking insane. I'm not sure how anybody gets around and does anything with that much going on all the time.

I'm actually currently attending Idaho State University so I'm used to a pretty small campus. But I love exploring and I think that universities are some of the coolest places there are so I'm looking forward to having a more relaxed environment to check things out in.

Unfortunately I'll only be on the campus for nine weeks during the Summer Research Opportunities Program so come fall I'll be gone but I'm glad there'll be less people but not completely dead.

Thanks for the input

Unless you're into funk, reggae, or jam bands you're pretty much out of luck. For some strange reason Columbus has a fucking huge stoner scene. You missed hempfest(which sucked anyways) but comfest is suppose to be somewhat good this year.
Stretch Lefty and the Floorwalkers are decent, if you're into funk/blues. Not much punk, fuck ton of country(everyone here loves Rascal Flatts, god damn retards), no ska...so yea funk/reggae/jam bands, as I said.
Columbus has pretty large Anon scene, but avoid them. Anons are fucking annoying nerds in real life, at least the ones who speak in memes.
You'll find some douchebags to hang out with probably, do you like football? Everyone masturbates profusely when OSU is on, so if you do like football, you'll make friends fast.

-IO!

Thanks for all the input, from some of you at least.

What places on the actual campus are worth a visit? The Wexner Center for the Arts looks cool but any other hidden treasures on the campus itself that would be worth looking for?
