Ohio University Athens Campus Through the Eyes of a Small Town Girl

Apr 13

Breanna Martin
     Lit Fest 2013 was a great experience. I had never been to the Athens Campus before, so this trip was two experiences in one for me. I have much to say about the Campus itself. Though there was not enough time in the three days I was there to see the campus in full, I did enjoy the many tours. There was so much to see from the Maya Lin artwork "Input", to the art museum, to the many shops and restaurants down Court Street. From the view point of a small town girl who finds the southern campus to be large in itself, the Athens campus was too much to take in at once.
     One of my favorite observations was the diversity among the students attending the Athens campus. The many languages heard as I walked down the halls and sidewalks and streets. The beauty of so many people from different corners of the world all coming together with one common interest: Education. For so many people from different cultures wanting to study the many fields offered at Ohio University. It just blows me away that they find my little corner of the world worth visiting to study.
     All and all I hope to return to the Athens Campus to see all of it someday.  However, I believe I will stay at my small campus and enjoy the little things. I just want to thank everyone that made this experience possible.

Athens is almost identical to where we live except with a beautiful campus sat right in the center. It has given me some of my favorite memories and continually adds more every time I go back so I completely understand what you're saying!
