Formed by Place – How Region Shapes Higher Education

"My decision to attend OUL after high school was complicated at first. I had received lots of scholarship and aid through each college I was interested in, and was discouraged by distant family members, none of which are college graduates or were even ever college students, on enrolling at OUL for my freshman year. All of this advice was unsolicited. My education and connections I have formed at OUL and in my community are things I genuinely cherish. My regional branch allows me to learn in a way where I feel seen and supported by my professors, and where I feel comfortable and connected. " ~Stella McGuire, Ohio University Lancaster
