Tips & Answers

Refresh Tips

Tip

OWU is just 30 minutes from Columbus, so it's easy to dig into all that the city has to offer, from pro sports and eclectic restaurants, to major concerts, art galleries, and shopping. Not to mention impressive internships and work experiences. It's no wonder the New York Times named it one of 52 places to go in 2019.

Tip

Use a Planner. Contrary to popular belief, a planner is not constricting and will probably leave you feeling more organized and self-assured. After planning becomes a habit, you won't miss commitments and you will find yourself with more time than before.
