Ohio State University teamed up with Apple to build a new app aimed at new college students. As reported by local news outlet 10TV, the app’s goal is to make the transition to college easier for students by connecting to them to services available on campus…
10TV reports that four Buckeye developers traveled to “Apple’s design lab” to learn how to create the program. It’s unclear as to the extent of Apple’s involvement, but Apple and Ohio State have an existing relationship.
One of the developers explained that the goal of the app is to help connect new students to their campus and make college feel a bit smaller and less overwhelming.

It was announced last year that Apple had partnered with Ohio State University to establish a Digital Flagship University, offering education and economic development benefits for the central Ohio community. Read more on that partnership here.
The “My OSU” application will be preloaded on iPads provided to first-year students. As the school announced last year, all students starting in Fall of 2018 will be given an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard.
