Thursday,  July 29, 2010 3:18 PM

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State University on Thursday said it fielded a record number of applications for this fall's freshman class, up more than 25 percent from last year.

Officials say shiny new facilities including the $118 million student union that opened earlier this year have helped to boost interest in Ohio State, which is one of the largest universities in the U.S.
     
The number of students applying to the school jumped from about 21,200 in 2009 to 26,600 this year.
     
About 60 percent of the applicants were admitted. From that group, the university says it expects to enroll roughly 6,600 freshmen, about as many as last year.
     
Ohio State's fall classes are scheduled to begin Sept. 22.
