Were it not for the marching band, I doubt I would have enjoyed being a student at Briggs as much…read moreas I did. I really loved it, and I'm proud to have gone there, but with the school's reputation getting worse and the marching band having gone downhill since I graduated in 2005, this school is most likely on its way out. I'm going back one last time for alumni band, and to bid my high school band director farewell and a happy retirement, but beyond that, it kills me to admit that I could care less. We had a little bit of everything. An English teacher who reportedly slept with a male student and had his kid (years before I attended the school), a math teacher who slept with the senior cheerleaders so they'd get A's and graduate (it was on the local news for years after!), a football team that never wins, and a long-standing rivalry with West High School. During my years there (2001-2005), we had three different principals, and only Mr. Shreiber was worth anything. Our band director, Mr. Aaron Jackson, has been lauded through the years as the best teacher in the entire school - every teacher has a story about AJ and his band students, which we honestly can't say about any of the other teachers. I won't deny that I could've gotten a better education at another school. I might have had more opportunities at another school. At the time, though, Briggs was the best fit. I'd spent three horrific and hellish years at the absolute worst middle school in the city - on the complete opposite side of town - and going to Briggs was coming home. I really don't know how gay-friendly the school is now, but it was weird while I was there. The gay guys were out and proud and everyone accepted them. God forbid a lesbian came out at any point during her time there. There were a grand total of four lesbians in the marching band, and only one came out during high school. She dropped out because of the toxic and hateful environment. The other three - including myself - learned from her experience and came out after our respective graduations and have been treated well. In summation, Briggs was great for me while I was there, it was a good school before I was there, but after I graduated, it's gone downhill pretty fast.

Though there are a number of different campuses of The Ohio State University, the large campus that…read moremost people not familiar with ASU think about is the Columbus Campus. This campus offers a liberal arts college feeling with many with many buildings, students, staff, faculty, and resources. Similar to many other large campuses or schools across the country, it feels like it is always under construction as new buildings, athletic facilities, and residence halls are built each year. As Ohio State is one of the largest public universities in the country, there is something for everyone whether in-person or online. At Ohio State, every student has the potential to feel connected with resources and it there is certainly always something happening whether at the Ohio Union, at the Recreation and Physical Activity Center (RPAC), or in the residence halls or any of the athletics facilities including the Horseshoe (Ohio Stadium). More than 14,000 students live on-campus, and the majority of about 67,000 Ohio State students take courses on the Columbus Campus. While campus resources are easily located in the Ohio Union and Lincoln Tower, many other buildings across the Columbus Campus have academic offices or other student services. The Ohio State staff, faculty, and partners certainly try to do everything they can to support all of the students to ensure they are set up to succeed at Ohio State. Originally founded as only a fraction of the Columbus Campus of today in 1870, the campus has grown by leaps and bounds over the years. Even a student who graduated just over 20 years ago, I am surprised in what the campus looks like today. In fact, I just visited campus for the first time in many years last month and barely recognize parts of campus. Even now, big construction projects include the Mirror Lake District Renovation, North Residential District Renewal, and multi-phase William Oxley Thompson Library Renovation. In fact, as of 2022, there were more than 1400 current construction projects in the works across all Ohio State campuses. As the campus continues to grow, the number of buildings on campus continue to increase. In addition to more commonly visited areas like the Oval, the Ohio Union, and the RPAC, there is the Thompson Library and Ohio Stadium. There is also the Wexner Center for the Arts, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, the Orton Geological Museum, Mirror Lake, the Arne Slettebak Planetarium, Buckeye Grove, the Schottenstein Center, and so many other spots. My regular places to have visited when I was a student were Ramseyer Hall (where I took most of my classes), Taylor Tower, Mack Hall, and Bradley-Paterson residence halls. At Ohio State, every student can drive their own experience as they engage in the events and resources on-campus while attending classes, getting an on-campus job, landing an internship or full-time job, joining clubs and organizations, attending many free events and activities, and so much more. The many student services offices at Ohio State are always there for students, and it's easy to find your way towards graduation and your future when taking advantage of these resources. I look forward to seeing what comes next on such a large and lively campus such as Ohio State in the coming years!

We moved here from NY and are super satisfied with this school overall. One thing you may need to do some research on is private lessons for orchestra if you are coming from outside of OH. Our son had been playing violin for about five years prior to coming here for 7th grade and the current orchestra had only been playing for a year or so. We ended up finding a local musician in the columbus symphony orchestra that could provide lessons to continue his development. Other than that the classrooms are very well equipped for 7th and 8th graders. Good move to Pick North for sure!

Of course, we were here for the playground. And it's a bit old and rundown, and there was some trash, so, maybe it's not part of the current school. You can see it right on Havens Corners, right beside the Lincoln HS stadium. Baby K and I saw it from the car, so we stopped in. (Passed a couple of churches with nice playgrounds, but also fences or signs warning away the rabble.) It's big, and has some nice modern-ish equipment plus some older metal stuff. Lots of climbing areas, a couple of slides, a smaller playground for little kids. I guess Baby K wasn't taken with it because she wanted to leave after 10 minutes or so, an assessment I agreed with.
