Even though autumn semester began a month ago, today marks the official first day of fall. Enjoy the nice weather by partaking in these five fall traditions:

  1. Pumpkin Spiced Lattes at Espress-OH

  1. Buckeye Grove

Take a stroll through a bit of Buckeye history in the Buckeye Grove. It currently features 186 buckeye trees, one for every First Team All American in Ohio State history. Nameplates line the sidewalks with the history and tradition of Ohio State while also leaving room for the future of Buckeye football to be represented in the grove.

  1. Oval Leaves

Watch the “seasons pass” as the Oval transforms from a bed of green to a vibrant color pallet. ‘Time and change’ will surely show the beauty of our campus (and the Oval provides some great Instagram worthy moments.) While this may not be a tradition per se, it’s always nice to get outside and enjoy the crisp autumn air while exploring campus.

  1. Homecoming Parade

Ohio State has a long history of homecoming, with the first “Alumni Day” beginning as early as 1880. Homecoming celebrates the tradition and excellence of Ohio State students, past and present. This year, from October 5-10, we will celebrate what it means to be a Buckeye. With events throughout the week, homecoming culminates with a parade on Friday, then the Homecoming Game on Saturday, where the Homecoming King and Queen are announced.
