"The Honors program has truly been a great experience during my time at Ohio State. I was able to participate in the Freshman Engineering Honors program during my first year, take several honors courses within and outside of my majors, and become involved in the university through organizations such as UNITY, a cultural awareness club run through the Honors and Scholars house. Many other opportunities, such as studying abroad in France, earning merit scholarships, and becoming a member of class honoraries have been opened up to me through my involvement the Honors program. Being an honors student has allowed me to have the best possible education and experience!"

"I decided to join International Affairs Scholars (IA) because I wanted the opportunity to live with other students who shared my interest in world cultures. I have made great friends through IA which has made my Ohio State experience an incredible one. It also provided me the opportunity to spend two weeks in Hong Kong and Southern China with my fellow IA scholars. It was the experience of a lifetime!"
