A real, accessible regional university campus
Ohio University Chillicothe, a real regional branch campus, enrolled 666 full-time and 1,504 part-time undergraduate students, with a notably open, 100% acceptance rate -- known for small class sizes and a genuine, disclosed sense of community given its small campus size.
