I would recommend going to North Market and getting food from a bunch of different stalls! My personal fave was momos from Momo Ghar, but there’s also Nashville hot chicken, Thai, Mexican, Polish, Indian, Italian, and Belgium stalls (and I’m probably missing a few). There’s also a couple dessert stalls as well. There’s almost too many stalls and it’s hard to pick! I’m not sure how many stalls are open at the moment though, and there should be outdoor seating.Any good places to eat in Columbus? My fiancé and I are going down for his socially distanced tour at (hopefully) his new job and we were curious as to what people would recommend! We aren’t picky eaters by any means so any suggestions are appreciated
Really?? How are we supposed to decide whether or not to accept the offer without the full financial package...
yeah I'm anxious about that too.
My scholarship offer came on Feb.25. Unfortunately it was not good enough compared to some other schools for me to decide on the offer. Sandra said all recruitment scholarship has been out but there could possibly be more in other gift aids so I've been waiting on the financial package.
i'm still deciding between ohio and tufts so for what it's worth i can tell you there's a 50% chance on my end. it's a beautiful school, but waiting for my financial aid info from tufts and my midterm biochem & orgo 2 grades. if funds are about equal and i survive my nightmare semester, i may run off to new england after all.
I'm deciding among Purdue, tOSU, and Davis. Fair to say I'll most likely decline my OOS seat unless surprisingly good financial package.
City Barbeque is sooo good!!! It’s in upper Arlington so like a ten minute drive from the vet school, but so good! The banana pudding is the bomb! It’s also by good ice cream/custard places-like Rita’s and Graeters!Any good places to eat in Columbus?

Im on the waitlist for my IS. So I’m waiting it out to see how everything plays out before I decline my seat at tOSU
A side note, I’ve been told that I should pay my deposit now just to secure my seat but this doesn’t make much sense to me since I still have time before the April 15th deadline
what will the grades change about the financial aid?
oh! nothing. two separate things. i need orgo 2 as a pre-req for tufts and not for ohio, so i need to pass that to know tufts is actually a possibility. and i'm taking biochem at the same time, which i need for both schools on top of my normal LVT curriculum. hence the nightmare semester. but if i survive my remaining midterms for orgo 2 and biochem, i'd be in that mathematical range where you know you're going to pass even if you fail everything else. i think it's an anxiety thing. 😅
Gotcha! Good luck the rest of the semester and with the decision making
Who told you this? If you're 100% sure you're going, then yeah you should just get it over with, but they can't give up your spot or anything if you don't get it in early. Your spot is guaranteed so long as you accept & pay your deposit by April 15th, there are literal laws governing this. So don't let anyone pressure you if you aren't ready yet!
According to the website for incoming students (Incoming Class | College of Veterinary Medicine), you are able to get the full cost of attendance as determined by the school in federal loans, assuming you fill out the FAFSA by the deadline & meet federal guidelines to receive federal loans (I think the main reason to get denied would be current default on a federal loan). This isn't like undergrad, where you have to apply for a specific amount and get approved, the school determines the cost of attendance & offers you that amount. You can take out less if you choose, not totally sure about taking out more though...
Thank you for this! I was talking to the vets at work and they suggested maybe I pay it now just in case. I will accept my seat closer to the deadline if I have not yet heard from my IS
Ok cool, just wanted to make sure no one at any school was pressuring - there’s been a weird thing with Western the last few years where they’re denying students seats who pay closer to the April 15 deadline, and its really horrible. I certainly don’t think tOSU is doing this, but wanted to make sure no other schools are doing it!
The October dates are for half semester (7 week) classes and December dates are for full semester classes.
do You have to fill out FAFSA before getting information on your financial package? I’m wondering how exactly They determine the amount you get?
I think so - I did back in Feb for all the schools. I already received financial package from Purdue and Davis is sending out theirs early Apr. not sure about tOSU.
are there any classes we take that are 7 week classes?
Not until second semester! I think it’s mostly electives, we did have one core class that was only 7 weeks (Pharmacology 😬) but for second years it was a full semester so I’m not sure what the plans are for that class.
Hello Asch97:
Clubs usually sell merch at orientation in the fall! With everything online last fall they sent out emails with order forms/pictures and then you just picked up what you ordered sometime later on campus.
I’m not 100% sure on first years, but as far as we’ve been told it’ll still be hybrid. For my class (2024) this year, that meant everything online except for clinical skills lab (once a week) and exams.
Thank you! Okay, so need to save up a little more than I had hoped or wait until funds come in for the laptop :-/
There's been some discussion about also doing some anatomy & histology labs in person (student feedback was apparently pretty strong on this), but yeah, lectures are likely to still be online. They've gotten a lot of positive feedback about asynchronous lecture format, so they're looking at making that an option for students who want it in the future, but I believe the plan is still to slowly reintegrate back into synchronous in-person lectures throughout this upcoming year.
I've had a lot of luck just emailing admissions and if there is a specific question they can't answer they've forwarded me to the right person when necessary
** a d m i s s i o n s
I emailed admissions, and Sandra responded through there. I've used both emails depending on circumstances.
I decided to go to Cornell. In my opinion they had a more welcoming and helpful environment, they also did a lot more zoom/ online opportunities to learn more about the school. I am also a fan of doing problem/ case based learning to connect material we learn from lectures.
