OSU Description

One of the Ohio State University’s regional campuses, Ohio State Lima is a great option for those who are dying to be a Buckeye, but want to study in a small college environment.

Located an hour-and-a-half south of Toledo, the school offers a handful of bachelor’s degree and pre-professional programs, as well as baccalaureate completion programs in Dental Hygiene and Nursing.

In addition to its degree programs, Ohio State Lima largely serves as a transfer school to OSU’s main campus in Columbus. As a student at OSU Lima, you can begin any of OSU Columbus’ degree programs (there are over 160 to choose from), then transfer your credits to the Columbus campus.

This is an excellent way to ease into the large university experience. Because the Lima campus is small, many students find it to be a less overwhelming transition from high school.

Student life at Lima is relatively relaxed and quiet. Outdoor hobbyists will appreciate the many nature trails and the campus’ Tecumseh Natural Area.
