Ohio University is a Carnegie Foundation R1 (doctoral universities – very high research activity) institution. It has a rich history, diverse campuses, international communities, and beautiful Appalachian settings. The city of Athens provides a classic and vibrant residential learning environment for over 20,000 students and is a family-friendly and culturally rich community. The charm of tree-lined brick walkways on the University’s College Green makes you feel as if you are at a small college rather than a large university. Recently, Athens was rated the Best College Small Town by the readers of USA Today.
