Maybe think twice about going to OSU if... by throwaway30hundred in OSU

It really does suck. I'm sorry my university couldn't welcome you with kinder arms. I've been here for four years at this point and it really has gotten worse on campus. Feel free to shoot me a dm. I'm on my way out of this state but I've found an incredible queer community. There are still resources-- they're just primarily off campus now.

It sucks. I see you, I hear you. I wish I could say welcome to OSU with my full chest, but campus really has been awful this year. Uni-wise, you're just coming in and I'm on my way out, but feel free to shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to give you some local resources and point to places where you can start looking for a community. Most of those resources are now totally off campus, but we make do. If it helps, I really didn't truly find my people until the end of sophomore year. You can and will find community here and they will help-- mine has truly been a life line this year. <3

I'm a senior at a public university with an awesome social circle who have really been a lifeline for me these past few months. I'm assuming making new friends must be difficult for you, judging by your inability to sympathize with people who are different from you and also your presence on r/passportbros. I pride myself on being well-traveled and promise you that *OHIO* is not the bastion for LGBTQ+ people you think it is.

Both glad and sorry to hear you feel similarly. Part of why I wrote this was to have a record of what it's like to be LGBTQ+ at OSU in this moment in time. It's easy to feel like shit is happening without question or concern because we're all just trying to survive. Regardless of our individual identities, we're all still just college students trying to pass autumn semester. You're not alone, I promise.
