Grandpa Randy and I are college campuses snobs. We love going on a campus and saying “it doesn’t compare to Michigan State,” which is our alma mater.
There is just something about the old brick buildings covered with ivy mixed with the new modern structures. The old trees towering overhead, spreading their branches like blankets across the campus. The river that gently winds it way through the center of campus. The separation of the campus from the busyness of the town by the main thoroughfare. We remember it all fondly and always jump at a chance to visit.
We didn’t think we would ever see another campus like it (at least in our minds.)
Until, and I can’t believe I am saying this, we drove onto the campus of Ohio State University.
It immediately reminded us of MSU, for all the reasons listed above.
The football stadium is also amazing.
The O’s built into the fence surrounding the stadium is a clever addition.
It is no wonder their fans are so proud.
Just like MSU the cranes are in operation as buildings are created to better serve the student population. And I am sure their alma mater are always shocked to go back and see the changes occurring on the campus.
If you decide to attend a football game in Columbus be sure not to forget about Pistacia Vera desert boutique. Their macaroons are world famous!
Sounds like a great campus. The football stadium certainly looks like it is amazing!
That is a nice football stadium. I still have to say that UGA is the best, though! ;)
My husband is a buckeye, which is why I read this post… lol, the best part… I can’t believe I am saying this :-)
It is a great campus, proud to be a BUCKEYE!:)
My freshman wants to attend OSU, can’t wait to travel all thru there to see the colleges.
We are proud fans! So glad you enjoyed the campus. It really is an amazing part of Central Columbus. I live Downtown, so we get all the hustle and bustle when there’s a game. Lots of fun.
It’s interesting you think it’s like MSU because I actually don’t. My daughter graduated from OSU and my son is at MSU right now, and I think they’re quite different. I LOVE both campuses sooooo much though.
I LOVE MSU…also my alma mater. I’m always shocked by the changes they’ve made when I go back. The last time I was there I even blogged about the changes! LOL!
Ohio State would be really neat to visit one day! Especially knowing it’s a lot like MSU :-)
