I fly out of OSU, and see a great deal of the operation over there. I have heard it's pretty exspensive and it looks a little hectic over there. Few months ago, I was first for takeoff and one of their Archers had to come around for an emergency landing, I think they had a prop strike on the previous touch and go. Anyways, the facilities are OK but nothing special, little old. You'll be flying in a lot of old cessnas, 152/172 etc. I would imagine it would be a pain catching the bus to get there everyday as traffic can be bad.

I second the other poster about taking classes at C-state and flying out of one of the clubs there, save a lot of time and money and you can work at your own pace. (Reccomend New Flyers www.newflyers.net) If your trying to stay in Ohio, I would also recommend Ohio University (Not state) to an extent, they got all glass warriors, excellent facilities, instructors and you'll have a lot of fun down in Athens (top 5 party school) with a lot cheaper tuition (Seems like they raise it every year though). However they are currently having budget problems.

Hope this helps.
