What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
The decision to attend college and complete a degree was journey that can only be understood by those who have experienced it first hand. College not only prepared me academically for the workforce, it also developed my maturity and interpersonal skills. I was constantly challeged intellectually by my professors who were not only instructors, but also motivators. I was able to interact with different personalities, socio-economic backgrounds, and ethnicities which allowed me to understand and relate to these different perspectives and backgrounds. College also gave me experience in fiscal responsiblility to manage limited financial resources.
The value of a college education should not be underestimated. The value is not only limted to increased income potential, but also includes obtaining an increased sense of self awareness as well as developing positive social relationships. Attending college has allowed me to achieve financial goals as well as understand that I have a social and ethical responsibility to society. It also has helped me to understand that attending college and attaining a degree is something that should be advised to anyone who has not had the experience.

Describe the students at your school.
Students at Oklahoma State are overwhelmingly pleasant. While walking to class, students often share smiles, say hello, or even introduce themselves. Here at OSU you will often find people opening doors for one and other and exibiting excellent manners. Furthermore, the majority of students are involved in clubs or organizations that are often raising awareness or doing projects on campus. During the spring and fall seasons you will find students relaxing on the library lawn reading a book, playing frisbee, tossing a football around, or eating ice cream. The student body at OSU is undeniably incredible.

What kind of person should not attend this school?
People who want to express themselves in the way they dress may not want to come to this school because a large group of the students here are very judgemental. I have seen groups of girls stare at people and laugh just because that person may not be wearing what they believe to be "cool." This is not always the case but I would not want to see this happen to someone who was not expecting it.

What kind of person should attend this school?
Students from all around the United States and even in some other countries attend OSU, and the best way i can describe the campus is "smart". All the way from the very intellectual professors to the exam acing students, i consider OSU very knowledgeable. So if i could give any advice to future students planning on attending college I would have to say, come prepared. College is definitely not something just to blow off, but it's something to embrace in memories as a place where you meet knew people and aquire a larger view and knowledge of the world.

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
I don't think they're are many stereotypes at our school except for a few. There are of course the frat students who despite the common perception of partying all the time only represent a few of the entire frat students. Secondly, the athletes of the school who are praised in every way as sports is a pretty important subject over here.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
The best thing about this school is the diversity and you never know who your going to meet and what their backgrounds are. The Oklahoma State University is a nice size, it's not to big and it's not to small. You can walk from one side of campus to the other in about 12 minutes, I don't think that's bad at all. Every time Oklahoma State University is brought up it's always in a positive manner. I have never heard anyone say any negative remarks about Oklahoma State University. I think this is an aspect that Oklahoma State needs to be proud of. The school pride is not just throughout the students, but it has overflowed in the town of Stillwater. I have never seen a town support their university as much as the people here do. Every Friday during the football season, you will see over half the students wearing the bring color orange in support of the football players and the up coming game. The unique thing about the town of Stillwater is that even if you are not the legal age of 21 there is still activities and places that you can go enjoy yourself and have a good time. An example is that Tumbleweed, this place has concert on a every other week basis and there is a dance floor where you are free to show off the moves you do or don't have.

When you step off campus what do you see?
Stillwater is a college town. That is the way it is. So there is TONS of activities for the college students here. We can go bowling, watch movies, Frisbee or regular golf, and don't even get me started on the restaurants... There are no joke 8 Subways that I know of, 3 Sonics, 2 McDonalds, I have no clue how many pizza places there are here. The other thing you will find is friendly people. Stillwater is becoming a very popular retirement city. So there are tons of nice people moving in to settle down for the rest of there lives. Stillwater outside of OSU is a very pleasant place to be.

Do you feel like you changed a lot?
Change is a funny thing. It is hard for the person to notice the change that is taking place in them, at least it is for me. But I know that I have changed. I think everyone will to some extent. You go from living at home with parents, grandparents, or something similar to being more like on your own. It is a very maturing experience.
