"In my freshman year, I had the amazing experience of visiting England for ten days with the London Honors Program. Our group toured, laughed, and later came to realize that college is about classes and a degree, but even more about making connections with people and using your experiences to better not only yourself, but the world. The Honors program does a great job of helping students pose new questions, search for answers, and explore new possibilities not only on campus, but around the globe."

"Being part of the Arts Scholars program at Ohio State has helped me both academically and socially. Having to maintain a certain GPA has forced me to challenge myself to do the best I can. Also, having classes and living with other Arts Scholars has allowed me to get to know them on a personal level. Other special advantages, such as attending free shows and special trips to cities such as Cleveland and Chicago have helped further my interest in other genres of music and the arts in general."
