I, too, have been accepted to OSU and Temple this year, though I was also offered admission to Cincinnati, which I have accepted.
Anyhow, I visited both of those schools, and I would certainly recommend OSU. Its recent jump in the rankings is nice, but what really does it for me (besides the cost) is the way things "felt." At OSU, even though I was at an Open House, I felt welcome and immediately part of a community. At Temple, I wondered whether such a community even existed.
Go to OSU....the best part is, you'll get to look at that gorgeous building every day!!!

I was recently admitted to OSU as well, but I'm VERY confused. I 've also been accepted to Northeastern and Catholic. B/c I am from the Boston area, everyone tells me to go to NU becuase it has better local contacts and b/c of the co-op program. My problem with NU, is the thought of playing 4th fiddle to other locals like Harvard, BC, and BU.
As for Catholic the facilities are nice (in the brochure - never been there yet) and the DC location is a plus.
Still, I'm leaning towards OSU. The schools higher tier 1 rankings have really attracted me, but people think I'm crazy. They tell me to go to the local school b/c OSU will not have much pull in Boston or outside Ohio. My view is that, though OSU might not have a big presence on the East Coast, the school's tier 1 ranking I think will allow the degree to travel more than a Northeastern or Catholic degree. What do you think?
If you happen to know how OSU does when it comes to recruiting time that would be great as well. Do you know if "BIGLAW" or any national firms receruit there?
BTW - what made you choose UC over OSU?
Combined with their top 25 b-school, the little I know about OSU has looked pretty good to me so far. The only thing that scares me is OSUs MASSIVE size! (I went to a 1600 student ugrad school and this place looks like it has no end to it in pictures at least!)
What do you think?
Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to provide me!
