| Lots of people in Ohio don't know much about the schools in the state. Many people wear OSU gear, but have never attended the school, have any kids at the school or just went to the stadium.
That being said, as Taxguy stated, there are some great programs at OSU and most people will say, "oh just go to OSU." However, two of the best prospective engineering students who graduated from some local High Schools here in 2006 chose UC. Why? UC has a really neat BSME/MBA program. Engineers learning business??? Exactly. It's something nobody thinks about until they are a program manager on an expensive widget and need to know how to pay for it within a company's bottom line.
Oh, and I am seeing a lot more 'Cats gear being worn...Love to see OSU have to play at Nippert one of these years |
