Oklahoma State University-Main Campus Top Questions

One of the most frustrating things about my school is that if you are just an average Joe going into college you do not recieve any special treatment. If you are not in the honors college and you did not clep or AP out of classes then you could get stuck with the forigen professors. It's frustrating for those of us who are average and trying to get through college and you cannot even understand your professor.

Religious, racial, and sexual intolerance. Large over-packed classrooms, inadequite foreign teachers will poor linguistic skills and problems with answering questions and wording tests/quizzes. Overpriced, unhealthy food is all that is offered on campus, and campus housing is either very very expensive and extravagent, or cheap and very poor. textbooks prices are murder (this is anywhere), and the intellectual difference between a 1000 and 3000 level course is enormous.

My school 's spring semesters do not start out very well. If you start there during the spring semester like I did, don't be surprised if your ID won't get you into your dorm for two weeks because your housing director keeps putting off the paperwork!

The most frustrating thing about the campus would be the distance. Any where you go is about a ten minute walk. Overall the campus is wonderful and I'm happy I chose it!

The most frustrating thing about Oklahoma State University is that faculty get paid to go to this school, while students pay to go to this school and the faculty are the ones that get closer parking spots!

The most frustrating thing about Oklahoma State University is that professors tend to assign projects and tests in the same week. Some students will have weeks with just regular homework schedules, then the all in one week they will have three exams, papers, projects, and homework all due that week.

not being able to currently afford it

It is a constant struggle for me to find healthy food choices on campus. Also, food on campus is extremely expensive. I have over one thousand dollars a semester for meal plan, and I have only two hundred sixty dollars left with two more months in this semester. Parking is a nightmare. I am forced to park in the overflow lot, which is poorly lit and is located about a quarter mile away from my dorm. In my opinion, not having adequate parking is a safety issue for students living in the dorms.

It's hard to do everything I want. There are so many things going on, that I can't do it all and get my schoolwork done.

The amount of on-campus dining is average as far as taste and variety goes, but the availability of the dining is very sub-par, with nearly all places being closed on weekends and holidays, which makes it very difficult for people who stay on campus to find food.

The huge focus on sports.

For me, it is usually my roommates. I suggest living with someone you know, or living alone. Do NOT go potluck.

The most frustrating thing about this school is finances and finding the necessary money to attend. While tuition is low, it is still difficult to support yourself, work, study, and pay for school. Many friends of mine have had to take semesters off to work and save the necessary money to come back. Its a difficult situation.

The most frustrating thing is that sometimes classes are too large; however, this only really applies to lower division classes and very popular upper division classes (such as Organic Chemistry). Sometimes the accuracy and consistency of the grading in the large classes, but it is mostly fair. Most of the upper division classes that are specific to individual majors are much smaller and are more engaging. If you can make it through some crowded classes at first, the class size is just fine.

Small town. Nothing to do really on weekends than drink or go to the game. Not enough emphasis on academics

I only wish there were more hours in the day! I love it here at OSU and I try to balance school work with activities as well as I can, but sometimes I want to be two or more places at once. There are so many options of activities and groups, there is a place for everyone.

The majority of the campus police take thier jobs to the extreme by hiding in bushes outside of student's homes and arresting students that illegally consume alcohol underage, giving jay walking tickets, etc... This seems a little excessive to me because I'm from a bigger city where they focus more on bigger problems.

They dont a nice venue to bring in concerts that I belive fit the desire of the students on this campus.

Perhaps the most frustrating is how hard it is to be social outside of the greek system
