Old Dominion University Top Questions

A person who is not dedicated to there studies and is not going to make the best out of the experience.

In no way would I discourage anyone to go to this fabulous university, however Old Dominion University has a certain student type that not every person would appreciate. For one, the population of Old Dominion seems to be heavily influenced with black men and women. I am black, therefore I do not have a problem with this yet some people might. Another reason this university would not be ideal for everyone is it is in the "ghetto" and that may not appeal to everyone. I will say this though, the parties on campus are fantastic.

This is a diverse school. Everyone is welcome!

The kind person who shouldn't attend ODU is one who isn't willing to study or be responsible for his or her life. Going to college is no simple task. It can be very expensive, and the work can be stressful and difficult. If someone isn't willing to study then he or she will struggle something terrible in class and most likely fail, wasting precious time, materials, and money. Also, attending college is a time when people are expected to become adults. If one decides to shirk responsibility and be imprudent, he or she will definitely regret it.

Everyone should attend ODU because it's so diverse that regardless of race, ethnicity, color, etc you will be able to fit in.

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is a lazy one!

This school is very diverse, so that being said anyone could go to this school as long as they are studious. Anyone could adjust here because of the many different events, clubs and cultures that it has.

The type of individual that should attend Old Dominion University should be a person that has courage, heart,smart mind and is enthusiastic.

All kindds of people are welcome here.

It is hard to say what kind of person should not attend Old Dominion University. One who is from a small town with little diversity should look at other schools that are closer to their comfort zone because Old Dominion would be far from it. Those who do not like the city or having a lot going on, check out some smaller schools. If the student is not into school spirit or meeting many new, easy-going people then Old Dominion is not for them. Old Dominion offers so much, it is difficult to think of who should not attend.

The type of person that should attend this school is anyone willing to put in the effort to learn. There are many different types of people that go to school at Old Dominion University, so there is no specific type of person. Any one who wants to commute to school or live on campus should go here. It is very convient. This college has almost anything needed to succeed at school. Anyone who likes the people they went to high school with or don't mind cities should go here. Also, people who are not fortunate enough to move.

If you are a person that doesn't like wet weather. In the summer it can be very Humid and in the winter it gets pretty cold. If you don't like a lot of trees and if you dont like garage parking.

The type of person who should not attend Old Dominion University is someone who doesn't have strong beliefs in themselves and can't function alone. Just like on every campus, there are times when everyone is alone. Wether is studying for a final, doing a project, or writing an important essay. A future student should be true to their own beliefs since there are many temptations that some kids won't want to follow. If a student cannot think for themselves and just follows the crowd they find themselves with, Old Dominion University is not the school for them.

Anyone who is at all timid about neighboring violence, or community revitalization. Also, if you are not completely independent and self-reliant you should go to a more nurturing school.

People who do not like the city. Old Dominion is located along Hampton Blvd which is very busy. But everyone is very friendly so if they can see past the city life then they should be fine.

I don't think there is any type of person that shouldn't attend this school and I think that should be the same for any University. People just need to find the right University that fits them, such as their intended major. For example, the only reason why a person should not attend any type of University, or in this case, Old Dominion University, is if they cannot find the major they wanted to pursue within the University. That's my opinion.

lazy

A person who wants to be challenged to do their best while furthering their education.

The type of person who shouldn't attend this school is someone who doesn't enjoy school. ODU is a place for students to get their academics done while enjoying what they do with their professors and classmates.

Anyone really could attend ODU, its a matter of adjusting. The campus has thousands of students, many of which are not the typical college profile, just out of high school starting college. There are students that are prior military, transfer, parents, graduate, ODU is like a bigger 4 year community college. Not all of the students are exactly academically focused either, social life, parties, the regular college gossip seems to be a bigger priority than education. If you are acdemically driven and need space to study I would say ODU is not the place for you.
