What’s your favorite spot on campus?
Mirror Lake or the Oval? Ohio Stadium or Orton Hall? Now you can weigh in through a new Facebook poll.
Here’s what others have had to say:
Thompson Library
Top floor of Thompson Library. What a view!!!
Benjamin Dennis Bodie ’11
Ohio Stadium
For four years it was Ohio Stadium on Saturday afternoons. The Band. The Games.
John Matchison ’74 ’76
The Oval
The Oval. I lived on “sleepy” North Campus as a freshman. At first, it felt like it took forever to walk to a class on South Campus. As time went on, it became an enjoyable, open-air walk.
Dale Richmond ’88
Mirror Lake
My freshman year, I would sit on the grass by Mirror Lake and eat my lunch. Every time I’m back on campus, I spend a little time in that spot.
Julia Pond ’06
Buckeye Grove
There is truly nothing like Buckeye Grove.
Nick Smith
The tunnels
I attended 30 years ago and used the tunnels a lot in bad weather. My daughter attends now and has no idea what I’m talking about.
Laura Tanner Leitnick ’86
