Campus Resource

I went to BuckeyeLink recently to fix issues that I had with my my account.  The first thought I had once I was going to BuckeyeLink was that it was far.  Just kidding, I thought it would be interesting to see what other amenities OSU had to offer it its students.  I was astonished looking at all the campus resources I could go to, but I thought that BuckeyeLink was the most beneficial to me and efficient at the time.  Personally, I did not realize that OSU had so many career and internship planning services which I thought would also be very useful in the future to help guide my path.  When I went to BuckeyeLink I chose to walk-in since they did not require any appointments.  At first I thought I would have to wait, but the amount of people they had once I got there was very beneficial since I could get my questions answered. I was glad that there were so many people knowledgeable on all things OSU related even though a lot of the questions I was were not based off of academia.  I had many questions regarding financial information with my account and my student status and I did in fact get all the answers for my questions.  I do not think many people know that BuckeyeLink is there to help if there is any need, or they don’t know where to go for help so the only growth I could see with this service is advertising the source more so more people can go as well.  Once you are there, most of the workers should be able to answer a variety of questions about the Ohio State so I was very glad this was organized very well.  It was a perfect place even for incoming or transfer students to ask questions and easily get assimilated into the Ohio State University atmosphere.  This is something really helpful that many people who do move here from somewhere else don’t always know about but would definitely be helpful.  I came for the first time to BuckeyeLink in high school for helping with my college credit plus class.  My schedule planner and my account had a few problems so I decided to stop by to get help on how it work it then.  They were able to teach me, in high school, how the best way to plan my college credit (or Ohio State Academy) classes would work.  I have not seen many other colleges offer as much as OSU, I don’t believe that OSU is missing a big support service from what I know everything is very helpful!  I do sometimes see that there’s colleges that offer a lot of support to students’ mental health, especially during exam seasons when everyone is very stressed like having activities or support dogs to just calm people down.  OSU currently does offer mental health services but this could become a wider range since more people can use it that do not.  Other than this small thing, I do not see what more OSU can do to offer its students!
