Okay, so let’s face it, Ohio State is not like most universities. With thousands of students, top of the line facilities and internationally recognized faculty, merely being accepted to the main campus is a feat.But if you’re reading this, you’re probably aware of the rigor involved in most core classes and are looking for a break. Thanks to OSU’s massive population, we have the unique advantage of having really cool classes that aren’t offered at other universities. There are classes from wine to witchcraft.
