Oklahoma State University-Main Campus Top Questions

The worst thing about Oklahoma State is that Fraternities and Sororities do not like to hang out with other people that are not in Greek life.

I think the worst thing about my school is the campus size. It takes at least 10-15 minutes to get between opposite buildings. I consider it the worst thing about my school because it is really time consuming and I'm simply not used to it at all. I think its a little to big, but ultimately, it is a D-1 school, so of course its big.

I would consider the worst thing about Okahoma State University to be the parking situation. I often have to park far away from my dorm or classes and this can pose a problem when the weather is bad or when I am in a hurry. This is an issue that has come up repeatidly in Student Government to find a way to offer more parking to college students and staff

The worst thing about my school is the town it is located in. There isn't much to do in Stillwater outside of on-campus activities or functions.

Oklahoma State is my dream school. There is not much I find unattractive about it; that's why I chose it.Nonetheless, there are several large renovation projects currently taking place on campus. While these projects are significantly improving the appearance and functionality of our already gorgeous campus, they can additionaly provide a somewhat noisy and inconvenient educational experience. Classes can sometimes be supplimented with sounds of jackhamers and bulldozers. The library renovations in particular have become frustrating and can make studying somewhat difficult.

I would say the worst thing about OSU is the lack of diversions available in comparison to a big city. Although there are events hosted by the campus and organizations on campus, the town lacks any significant attraction for students except a rudimentary dance club, the tumbleweed, and one strip club which I have not heard good things about. The only leisurely activities students enjoy are parties, athletic games, and the recreation/fitness center.

I really like OSU but if I had to choose I'd say the worst thing about the school is maybe the distance from any major cities. You have to travel about 2 hours to get to the major cities in Oklahoma or in other states. However, OSU has the perks of the hometown feel which makes it quite quaint.

I really love my school, I just sometimes wish there were more people like me that attended. I am the first out of my whole family to attend college so no one in my family really understands the pressures i have when it comes to class work and school in general. I joined our african american club at school to hopefully find people to relate to but there are only 2 other African American girls in the club and they kind of had life handed to them. So i wish I had a mentor or something.

The thing i dislike the most about OSU is the class scheduling conflicts. A lot of core classes overlap with some of the more enjoyable classes such as Politics conflicting with Acting.

The large number of people. Its hard to get individual attention.

I really do not like the fact that being in a fraternity/sorority is such a big deal to so many students. Even though our campus does not have a high percentage of a greek life, the students that are affiliated in a house seem as if they are inferior to others and makes others feel uncomfortable. I do agree that being in a house has its benefits, but it also has its downfalls. For example, partying and drinking seems to be a common and unhealthy activity, high exepenses, etc. If everyone were equal, more people would feel accepted.

The location of the school. Not change cities, but to move it to another place in Stillwater. I would move it because the school doesn't necessarily promote alcohol or allow it on campus, but when the school is surrounded by bars, a liquor store, and even a store that sells beer on campus, I dont know if its related to OSU or not but they sell it there. Then they need to allow people to have alcohol in their room if they are on campus, but not if they're not 21 yet though.

So far, I haven't found anything that I dislike about the school and or campus.

The cost of tuition is quite steep. However the quality of education received will certainly offset this and offer graduates the best chance to succeed in their careers.

One of the hardest obstacles for me to overcome, was the overly large class sizes for core curriculum requirements of incoming freshmen. For a student just out of high school, transitioning from class sizes of 25 - 30 students into classes of 300 - 500 students can be extremely intimidating. Another problem when I was a freshman, was new graduate assistants, teaching freshman classes, whose native language was not english. The university has since put a policy in place to prevent this from happeneing.

The worst thing about Oklahoma State is that its in a small town. I can't think of anything about the school that I don't like. There are not a lot of things to do in Stillwater. We do have a movie theater and bowling and we also have the strip, but you can't go there until you are 21. Other than there not being a lot to do in town, OSU is amazing.

The worst thing about my school is the distance from my home town.

The lack of financial aid, and the lack of available funds for anything not athletic or research oriented

I consider the worst thing about my school to be the availability of good scholarships. Its embarrassing that my college doesn't help support its students more financially. Now, Oklahoma State University is a great school, its not outrageously expensive like a private school but still expensive nonetheless. Ive found that being in the middle class of society is very difficult to pay for college without parents help. I am in that position. The applications i file for loans and scholarships say I'm not "qualified" because of my parents income. I wish more schools would recognize this problem.

The various departments (ie. financial aid, admissions, enrollment management) fail to communicate with each other. It is often difficult to complete what should be a simple change on campus because none of the offices have access to any of the others.
