Oakland University Top Questions

The worst thing about Oakland University is their math department.

The worst thing about my school is we do not have a football team.

First of all I wouldn't have any idea about Oakland University as far as this college for the worst thing. I have only heard good things and scene good things in regard to the Education progarm along with being up there in the students pasting the state test . When able to past the test for cerification is a big deal when it comes to teaching. I only thing I would say is the drive up to the school for people who live south of Detroit; otherwise I can't say anything bad about the college.

Not enough teachers that know what they're teaching or how to teach the subject

There isn't much interaction betweeen students because it's more of a commuter school.

Sometimes the professors are more focused on their research than the quality of teaching. This causes students to do poorly in classes they should do well in.

Not knowing the exact makeup of the population of Oakland University; I would have to say that the worse thing about the university is lack of diversity. I'm not referring to the racial makeup of the school, I'm referring to the commuter aspect of the school. Most of the students that attend the school were raised in the area. In a major university, you would like to get a perspective of a large range of backgrounds, personalities and cultures. Oakland University is a fine institution of higher learning nad in my opinion that's the only draw back.

the worst thing about my school is that it is hard to find parking on campus, and none of the math teacher speak english well.

There is no strong sense of community. As a predominant communter school, most students didn't hang around campus after class was over. Campus activities were not well advertised or conviniently timed. I would have liked to have been more involved in my college experience.

Hard to get people involved in activities because it is a primarily commuter school so most people don't ever know what is going on around campus.

Not much to do during the weekends since the campus is mostly close during that time.

The enthusiasm of teachers in the classroom; it seems many professors are there just to do research, and teach only because they are required to.

parking is horrible. finding jobs is horrible.

That some of the faculty are very new and don't seem to take their job very seriously.

Too many people complain about the parking because they are too lazy to walk a couple blocks. But other than that nothing! I love OU!! GO GRIZZLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The worst thing about Oakland University is the math department. Many of the teachers are from other countries and are very hard to understand. Many kids take math classes at a different, but very close, college and transfer the credits.

Since it is a commuter school, it is sort of hard to meet new people.

The worst thing about the school would have to be the parking situation.

I think the worst thing about the school is one you are in a program, you tend to only see the same people over and over. There isn't much of a chance to meet new people in your classes, only if you go to events.

Parking.
