Oklahoma State University-Main Campus Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Oklahoma State University-Main Campus? Why?

Sarah

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.

Joe

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

Christian

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

George

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.
