The best thing about Old Dominion University is that it feels like home. The moment I stepped on campus, I felt like I really belonged there. I did not get this feeling at any of the other colleges and universities I toured. Everyone is so welcoming and inviting at Old Dominion, and the campus hosts plenty of interactive activities to get the student body involved.

The size and location of the school is great. The sports team, im sure, will be fun to watch, especially football. Being close to the beach is also a plus.

One of the greatest things about Old Dominion , and universities in general is the plethora of opportunities. There are many opportunities to get involved, learn, and simply take advantage of this experience. At Old Dominion, there are constanlty educational lectures as well as social events.Some of my favorite educational experiences include taking a world religions course and participating in an apprecenticeship with the Indusrial/Organizational Psychology Department. The Student Activities Council hosts many free events including movie nights, bowling events and laser tag.Because of these programs and others like it, I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at ODU!

While the school is known as somewhat of a commuter school, ODU has greatly improved the atmosphere of campus. Sports are experiencing great changes and there are so many organizations available, you just have to go out and find your place. ODU has the perfect balance of a small campus, where you can walk around and see someone you know, and such a large community, with a big student body and a place for everyone. ODU is transforming from a commuter school to one with a vibrant campus life.

The best thing about Old Dominion University is its diversity. There are so many people from a wide variety of backgrounds. It's great to meet and learn from people who have a different lifestyle or culture than your own. ODU also fosters this diversity through its vast number of clubs and organizations that students can join.

I attend Old Dominion University in a distance learning format. I am extremely happy with this format because it allows me continue wworking a full-time job and remain close to my family. The tuition costs is also some of the best that I have seen. I feel like I am getting the best deal for my education.

The faculty at ODU goes far beyond what is required of them, if the student shows interest in the class. Take the time to engage your teacher about the class and you will take far more from the class.

Both the academics and facilities are top of the line. Of the classes I have taken so far, I have enjoyed them, learned many new concepts, and met some very knowledgeable professors. With all of the new buildings this campus is quite unique and attractive.

Paul

Lots of people commute to ODU. It can be a cost saver if you live in the area or are in the Navy. It is located near a large naval base. On-campus life is good, but it's nice to have the option to live somewhere else and have a car. Commuting allows exposure to campus life if you choose, but also freedom to live, work, and play where you want.

Chelsea

What I consider the best thing about my school is the fact that there are so many resources to help a student out with different problems like academic issues, social issues, advising and more.
