The Ohio State University home page has a variety of news tidbits flash across it each quarter, and this quarter one really caught my eye: there is now an OSU app for iPhones and other smart phones that students (see: freshman) can use to help them discover campus. Apparently “m.osu.edu” is like a mobile Buckeye Link: you can check out academic stuff, research, athletics, maps of the campus, places to eat, and so on. Also on this new application are features like where the bus stops are and where the buses are currently en route, quick access to social media, where you can find wireless internet and the locations of interest like the Thompson Library and Mirror Lake, and a search feature that will instantly allow you to find professors’ emails and email them. For anyone above a rank one, this is probably minimally helpful, but it’s still neat to see my school, the biggest school in the country, to finally create an app. Learn more about m.osu.edu here.
