A wide range of student organizations and clubs offer you ways to participate in activities that help you fuel or discover a passion – and allow learning to continue and friendships to form outside the classroom. Because campus life is integral to the Ohio State experience our newly renovated Alber Student Center, is available to all students to relax, eat, study, workout, or just catch up with friends.
