<p>I would suggest Ohio State!
The overall academic quality is great, and I honestly have not met a single student who doesn’t like it there. The school pride is one of the best in the country and seriously infectious! All of their grad programs are slowly moving up into the top 20-30, and based on what you want to study it’s a great school versus Virginia Tech. I’m sure people who go to Virginia Tech love it, but OSU’s size gets a bad rap - it’s a plus. You get to meet new people, there’s an abundant amount of resources, you just never run out of things to do, which is awesome! You would definitely have diploma recognition at OSU and have tons of fun what with their amazing sports teams
