first and foremost, I find it hilarious that Philly fans have enough merit to even approach us Steelers fans

however, I suppose I can understand because Cleveland Browns fans are just as bad, actually scratch that, most definetely even worse!
I live on Ohio State's campus but I go to Columbus State. I definetely feel you on wanting to go to a bigger school. the first college I attended was a smaller private university in Columbus, and I hated the small-school feel.
I am 100% confident in saying you should have no problem acquiesing to OSU's student life. just remember that OSU and Columbus in general is a very spirited bunch when it comes to pride and sports

college football season is like a damn religion out here! even if you hate sports, you won't even be alienated then - the school and the city of Columbus is VERY diverse. there are people of all walks of life here, and that's why I admire OSU and Columbus as much as I do. however, it will surely help out in the social/friends sense if you like sports and football.
OSU has been increasingly hard to get into every passing year. it was so difficult that I didn't even bother to apply a couple years back when I was into the college search. there is just so much extra bullshit that no other colleges really need... the mandatory essay was the worst because of its length and general banality of the questions.
that being said, I really think you should go to OSU. you seem to be in favor of everything that it is. it is so easy to make new friends at this school, no matter what you like or how you are. since you are a Bluelighter you probably like to party - and the party scene is great. and I don't know what it is about Ohio, but the girls in college are beautiful and easy to approach.
if you do happen to attend OSU you should send me a PM and I'd be more than happy to show a fellow Bluelighter the ropes of the city
