OSU is big school but I don’t know why they are behind when it comes to online or distance learning?. The education world is transforming into online learning. I think OSU is a school run by older people.
OSU needs to expand its students base by adopting technology and create online option. There are students who can not go to regular classes such as working students, older students with families and students with disability.
Besides that Columbus city population is growing very fast, however, OSU is not expanding proportionally. Every high school graduate wants to go to OSU. They keep enrolling new students every year even though in reality they don’t have room for all of these students.
To limit this influx, they make education hard and miserable by utilizing enrollment limits, or make certain department’s GPA high, or put in place unnecessary requirements by the time student is ready to declare his or her major. Then you will end up taking unnecessary classes and spend one or two extra semesters in school to meet these requirements, or end up dropping school.

I believe Columbus needs another public university that would compete with OSU. The State Board of Education or Ohio Department of Education should be discussing this. We need another public university. We have a city of almost million people with only one public university.
I have been doing some research to other states in United States and I haven’t seen any state like Ohio. Majority if not all major/ capital cities in those states have at lease two or more affordable 4 year public universities. Something must be done to fix this.
