" The first day Roberta et Michael drove me around the city and the campus. I was able to discover what an American campus is and I could appreciate its quality (now I know where the thousands of dollars that students pay for their studies are going). I was also amazed with the business centered around the university, its sports teams and its mascott: the Beaver. Most of all, I realized that what we see in hollywoodian movies is not that exagerated. Actually, during the first month or so, I had the impression that I was living in a movie.

<< A photo of the campus taken during last spring; the campus is indeed ideal for studying and we can find there all the comfort we would ever need. (picture: Marie)

<< OSU BookStore: it is the store where you can to find anything a student would ever need, from an OSU calendar to Beavers panties. It's a bit more expensive than elsewhere, but at least it's in fashion (to be in fashion here: to have an bright orange sweat-shirt with OSU written on it, and pens and schoolbooks orange and black with the sloggan "Go Beavs!!"). On the photo: the BookStore's clothes alley, which dominant colors are black and orange of course. In the basement there is a real book store (yes, we do work also). (picture: Digicaro)
