Campus Tour Reflection

The conclusions I can make about campus is that they do a great job keeping the campus up to par. When I say this I mean this is exactly what i want from a college campus. Other than the hills I would ask for nothing more, or less. I must say the hills give the school another characteristic that helps it to be the best! The overarching "image" the constructors are trying to convey is that OU is more of a private school rather than a open university, which we are. I think they are slowly succeeding within the next few years I think all the buildings will be renivated and a very nice place to live, even if you live in an old dorm.
The thing that stuck out the most to me during the tour was the arch behind Sigfred. I say this because I am a very art oriented person and I really like are like this because there are no guidelines. I think this is awesome! I have no idea for my promotional piece yet. I'm thinking maybe doing something on the river but i have no idea yet, maybe a slide show. We will see.
Something I think should be added for the next tour would be the river and the ridges. I think both of these are a side of the campus that most people dont venture to go see. I think if these were on the tour it would be extremely interesting. Also, then people that have never been there would not be cut out of a talk because they don't even know where they are.

Hometown of Kellea

Hometown of Kellea Roberts

Located northwest of Columbus lays a small town called Dublin, Ohio. This just so happens to be the hometown of a freshman attending Ohio University, Kellea Roberts. Kellea has been living there her whole life and says it is a fabulous place to grow up. From K-12 Kellea went to Dublin city schools, which in general are upper-middle class schools. They also all have superior ranks in education. There are three high schools in Dublin: Coffman, Jerome, and Scioto. Kellea attended Jerome High School all four years. The hometown of Kellea is a very overpopulated place, but there is a lot to do and is a great place to raise a family!

Dublin is a very overpopulated town and is growing faster than ever. The population in 2000 was 31,000 and in just 8 years the population is approximately 39,000. It is in fact the fastest growing suburb of Columbus. The town, in Kellea’s words, “Is always building something new.” She says, “Soon there will be no open space left.” The town is in no way a farm town, but is also not a city. The main jobs in this town are small businesses and fast food restaurants. Also, there are many large houses and country clubs. Dublin is very involved with their school sports, especially football. Dublin Coffman High School is especially known for being the regional champs for 2001, 2003, and 2007. Their school district is a very prestigious school district and is nationally known. In conclusion, Dublin is a very nice town and a great place to have a family.

Kellea says that there is so much to do in Dublin. A couple of her favorite things to do are go to the mall, hang out with friends, watch her high school sports teams, go to the zoo, and go to the local water park. The Columbus Zoo is nationally known and has a great selection of animals. Also, the water park is called Zoombezi Bay it is almost brand new, but it is a great place to hang out with your friends. A couple other attractions there are outlet malls, multiple movie theaters, and a couple state parks. It is also known for its high class dining. Dublin has many places to go eat from fast food to five star restaurants. Here they also have one main festival every year that everyone looks forward to which is the Dublin Irish Festival. I have actually attended this festival and in it you’ll find: Great food, live music, and an all around great time! Kellea lives about 15 minutes outside of the city of Columbus, in which kellea likes to go and relax and have fun. There are also many other things to do in Dublin, but that list is way too long.

Kellea also says that Dublin is a great place to raise a family. First of all the school districts are nationally ranked all the way from kindergarten to high school. Secondly, there are many parks and local swimming pools to go to. Kellea’s favorite park to go to is Kiwanis Riverway Park. This park is located right on the river, if you didn’t guess. From this park you can do various things on the river, such as: Sail, wake board, water ski, or jet ski, along with multiple other fun things. Dublin is also a great place to raise a family because they have a great police department to keep your kids safe and protected.

As you can see Dublin is great place to grow up and even have a family. There are many things to do along with much to do in the night life. It is an awesome place from having a great population and enough people to having a great school district. You can have fun from going to a park to exploring some of the great town of Dublin. Also, if you have a middle aged teen that wants to go out and do their own thing this is a great place because the police department is immaculate. If I ever have the chance to visit I will be sure to visit there because the way Kellea describes it, it sounds like a great place to be and have fun.

My Favorite Place

The one place i love to go is Eagles Camp Ground in Bellfountaine, Ohio. I like going there because this is where my immediate family and distant family camp. Things to do there are fish, swim, hang out with my family and friends, and play frisbee. The reason I feel such a strong connection with my camp ground is because I have been going there for ten years strong. We basically go every weekend we can and it is an all around great time. While I'm in college this is what I'm going to miss most, other than my family. Every weekend there they have a concert at the pavilion and this is the best time I've ever had. It is basically soft rock and a bunch of drunk old people dancing. What could be not fun about that? Also, once a month there is a five dollar fish fry there. That statement is pretty self explanatory you go and pay five dollars and you can eat all the delicious fresh fish you want. To add to it there are always the "camper kids" that are always there and playing either frisbee or football basically the entire day. The "camper kids" are kids that actually live at the camper all season long, there are about six of them, and they are great! The family that I have up there are my grandparents, two sets of aunts/uncles, three of my cousins, my mom, my step dad, my sister, my niece, and my three brothers. I love them all dearly! If you like fishing this is the place to go in the camp ground itself there are three main ponds that are all fully stocked, and if you are looking to leave the camp ground there are way to many lakes and ponds to name. Also, about 6 minutes away is Indian Lake where you can swim on the beach, wake board, jet ski, or just go hang out on someones boat. Everyone that lives in, or around, Bellfountaine seem to be the nicest people ever. It is a small town so pretty much everyone knows everyone by name, and that gives you the since of home in my opinion. One of my favorite stories from this camp ground is when my friend Aaron Peck came up with me to camp. We were sitting on my grandparents patio and a bee landed on Aaron's leg and he is deathly afraid of Bees. When this happened in a blink of an eye Aaron jumped up and started to run off the patio and went head to bar with the bar coming out of the camper. He fell straight on to his back and just laid there. Then he proceeded to laugh hysterically at himself so he didn't cry. It had to have been the funniest thing i have ever seen!

About me

About Me!

Hey I'm Coty Spengler I am an eighteen year old freshman. Things I enjoy doing are Boxing, playing soccer, hanging out with friends, and music in general! I have played saxophone for 7 years now and it's my passion. I just recently picked up boxing so I'm new to it all, but it is a great way to stay and shape and have fun. I picked Ohio University because it is far enough away from home to where my mom will not be up every weekend, but it is close enough to go home to see my family and friends! I also love this campus to the fullest; I have been here for only four days and it already feels like home. I cannot wait to see what all OU has to offer and I am looking forward to a great year!
