Easy to say that when you only reside in Columbus for college. But even then, gentrification of High Street and surrounding areas has been beneficial. Before, there was a huge problem with street criminals and homeless people, not to mention drug addicts. Those issues are still there, but believe it or not, it’s much better than before.

I’m sure now that you’ve graduated, you’ve moved out into the suburbs. But for those of us who grew up in REAL Columbus and attended Columbus City Schools, you should know that well-behaved Columbus residents wish for MORE gentrification. It has actually significantly improved both the city’s economy and public safety. It’s really the only alternative into turning into another Cleveland or Pittsburgh.

As for the university treating students like “high schoolers,” they sort of have to. If they let young adults do whatever they want, underage drinking would be rampant as would accidents from dumb things like the “Mirror Lake Jump.” Plus, look at universities across the nation. They’re basically expensive high schools. Just like how in high school the teacher can yell at you and/or kick you out of the class, some of the professors here do the same. Just like how in high school the teacher grades unfairly, most of the professors here do the same. And similarly to high school, there’s really nothing you can do to challenge a bad grade. Professors, like public high school teachers, have ultimate power over your futures.

So yes, there’s really no difference between university and public high school, aside from students being better-behaved/more studious in college, the obvious financial difference, and being able to do 18+ things (assuming one is 18 or up).
