What’s the best way to find out about a College? Visit it!

One of the most important factors in a student’s success is how the feel on the college campus. The only way to find out how you feel on a particular campus is to visit it.
The Ohio State University offers many opportunities to visit the campus as a student interested in the University in general. This is a great place to start, but there are many ways to enhance your visit if you are interested in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.

As a transfer student, you may be interested in simply talking to a counselor who can walk you through transferring your classes.  You can do that by calling (614) 292-6891.

Visit opportunities include:
Experience OSU For a Day

Pre-Vet Day

Environment and Natural Resources Field Day

Directions to the Agricultural Administration Building

Due to the many variables of an EOFD visit, we request two weeks notice to plan your visit.

When can you visit? Any weekday that classes are in session.  Summer and break visits are scheduled, but do not contain the shadowing experience.
