Does participation in the Scholars Program create a tight knit community?

Now that I have a freshman at OSU in a scholars program, I wanted to answer my own question, as information for future OSU applicants. My D has made friends in all of her OSU classes, but her closest friends are from her scholars program. They hang out in the dorm, they sit together in class, they go to football games together, etc. She’s met a diverse group of kids with different backgrounds but similar personalities. She LOVES it, it truly has made OSU feel small. I’ve heard about several kids who are having a hard time finding friends those first weeks at OSU, especially OOS kids who don’t have a bunch of friends from high school to hang with. My D strongly recommends scholars.
