O-H-I-O!

since i've got my US visa, i hereby announce that i'll be going to The Ohio State University, Columbus! will be leaving at 11:40pm on September 8 (transit at London Heathrow Airport and Detroit Metro Airport). shall start packing tomorrow.... there are just 19 days left!

The Ohio State University.
founded in 1870 and is currently the second largest university campus in United States.
The Oval.
the heart of the Ohio State's campus.
University Hall.

Orton Hall.
one of the oldest buildings of OSU and it's named after Dr. Edward J. Orton, the first president of OSU. it's believed to be haunted by two ghosts. one is Edward Orton himself who spent a lot of time reading by lamp light in the top of the bell tower. therefore, there are scorch marks on the inside ceiling of the tower room left by his oil lamp. another ghost that haunts orton hall is said to be a prehistoric man with humped back, thick hair and a protruding forehead which is supposed to slam doors, bang on things and make noises since he can't speak.
Mirror Lake.
there's a tradition at OSU that students jump into the lake around midnight prior to the annual football game between ohio state buckeyes and michigan wolverines. the rivalry between these two schools started in early 1900s and it's like one of the greatest college football rivalries. i've also found out that there's a beat michigan week at osu LOL
Ohio Stadium.
known as "the horseshoe" due to its shape. it's the home arena of buckeyes' football team and is on the national register of historic places.
Max M. Fisher College of Business.
it was named after Max Martin Fisher, an internationally known business man and philanthropist.
William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library
Lane Avenue Bridge
