Kethomas, thanks so much for posting - - first-hand observations are always helpful.

I find that many schools that give some applicants the benefit of the doubt have lower retention rates than schools requiring that students have evenly developed skill sets. Also, schools that admit less affluent students also tend to have lower retention rates.

I worry if a lot of student want to transfer after freshman year. Do you know anything about the transfer rate?

Also, you say many student go to Columbus on weekends. Do most students have cars? Would a student feel standed on campus w/o a car? What if no one in a student’s circle of friends has a car? What’s within walking distance of campus?
