what do you like about Columbus?

I moved to Columbus from Chicago and was pleasantly surprised at how easily I was able to make that transition. As a result of ongoing development that has truly enhanced the city's offerings, Columbus has become what I like to call a "mini-Chicago." Great restaurants, historic neighborhoods, winning sports teams (Go Bucks!), and a thriving arts community, are just some of the positive attributes that Columbus has to offer. In addition, although it is the biggest city in Ohio, Columbus still retains that small town feel, welcoming newcomers with good old Midwestern values.

Not only am I able to complete both of my degrees at OSU simultaneously, I am also able to study in two nationally recognized programs.
