US News recently released the new academic rankings for colleges which includes all Big Ten Members including the new members in Washington, Oregon, USC and UCLA. A summary of how the Big Ten shapes up including Ohio State is below. 

The Ohio State University is a public institution that was founded in 1870. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 46,123 (fall 2022), and the campus size is 1,714 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. The Ohio State University's ranking in the 2024 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, #43. 

OSU offers more than 200 undergraduate majors, as well as a Personalized Study Program where students can design a nontraditional education. The university also offers a variety of graduate programs through such highly ranked schools as the College of Education and Human Ecology, Max M. Fisher College of Business and College of Medicine. Students can participate in more than 1,000 on-campus clubs and organizations, including more than 60 fraternities and sororities, or volunteer through the Pay It Forward program. Sports are a big part of campus life, with The Ohio State University Buckeyes competing in the NCAA Division I Big Ten Conference. All freshmen must live on campus, unless they are from Central Ohio and can commute. Students can also study abroad in more than 75 countries through OSU.

We're #9 and usually are middle of the pack compared to the other schools.One interesting thing here is just how far Penn State has fallen. Academically, they've always been ahead of Ohio State and now tied with the the likes of Michigan State. Also only one school outside the top #100. Between the lines there's several great programs that make these subjective but in total is the ranking of the universities themselves.
