April is the Ohio staff writer for Only in Your State. She is an Ohio native with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from E.W. Scripps School of Journalism. With more than 10 years of writing experience and a background in news reporting for Ohio newspapers, she's published pieces in multiple print and online publications. When she's not on deadline or chasing after her toddler, she's hunting for hidden gems in Ohio or getting lost in a good book.
While Ohio isn’t the perfect state, it’s definitely the best state to call home—whether you’re young, single and searching for a quality education or you’re just looking for a fun, wholesome state to raise a family in. The following are just a few reasons why you should pack up the car and move to the state that truly has it all.
1) Each year you will always, without a doubt, get to experience all four seasons (even if they occur unevenly or out of sequence. Which, they will.)
4) Also, a snowfall will no longer hold you back from living your life because you will learn the ways of the snow combating veterans that are Ohioans.
7) Our universities will awe you with their beauty, provide you with world renowned, quality education and give you the classic college experience everyone just needs to have.
9) You’ll also be able to say that your state is home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame (which we all know is what everyone wants to be able to say, but can’t.)
Try the Amish way for a day or two. You can experience the beauty, deliciousness, and wholesomeness of the simple life of the people of Ohio's Amish Country when you explore.
13. You will literally live in “The Heart of it All.”
