The independence! Old Dominion University treats you as a grown up. A far cry from my parents never ending lists of questions and constantly checking up on me. I enjoy the diversity of people, from the kid from a rich family from a foreign country down to the kid from the ghetto around the corner. This is like a breath of fresh air. Everyone here is interesting, with a unique life story and unbelievable ideas of new ways at working together to get things done. Loving college!!

The best thing about my school is the Webb Center. I love the Webb not only because it is the biggest "hang-out" spot on campus, but it also houses the cafeteria area. The Webb is the main area on campus that provides vaious food places like pizza hut, quiznos and much more, but offices like the Card Center and Game Lounge and Greek Life is in there. There are plenty of activities going on in there at different times and different days.

Diversity is the best thing about my school. There are so many different races, religions, cultures, and lifestyles expressed on campus, and I learn something new about the world every day through conversations with people different than myself. Being exposed to such diversity allows the students here to be open-minded and accepting of different ways of life.

The school pride that we have because we are a kinda small school compared to others and our mascot just won the capital one mascot challenge and we are on our way to national recognition.

The best thing about my school is the committment of the teachers and staff. The teachers are really dedicated to the subjects they teach and to the students. All of the teachers I have encountered have gone out of their way to help me succeed. At this school, the students know that if they ever have a problem there is always a teacher or advisor who would be more than happy to help them. The teachers are what make Old Dominion University the college that it is.
Dana
The responcibility the teachers put on the students to do the work and hold them accountable for it. It shows the school is credible through the people they graduate.
Candice
I think that Old Dominion University has a great amount of diversity and spirit. I do not think that anyone feels left out on campus or during school activities. It is a great school to go to if you like to explore different things and meet new people.
Erin
The individual classes are undoubtedly the best part about my school, as they allow in-depth learning experiances which force students to open themselves up to greatness.
Crystal
The diversity everyone feels welcome. There are tons of free events going on all the time for students which is a great thing about the school.
Ryan
The school has a very active extracurricular scene. This is very important to me, because I enjoy doing many different things aside from just academics. There are many sports clubs, arts clubs, and so many student organizations about every sort of topic imaginable, and I think it is terrific that there is quite literally something for everyone on campus.

Old Dominion University is very focused on the success of their students. Professors are accessible and helpful, and tutoring is available any time it is needed. If you're willing to work for success ODU is willing to help you succeed.
Jasmine
The students...its easy to get along with any and everyone on campus. Everyone is friendly and down to earth. Makes college life all the better and decreases stress
Alexandra
I will, again, say that the best thing about my school are the professors. Putting a student in an environment where they feel comfortably challenged, and motivated to do well, in my opinion, will increase the students academic performance. Old Dominion has an excellent team of helpful staff members, who are passionate about what they are teaching. If the professor is excited about the class, then the students will be as well. I feel completely comfortable with asking questions about things I don't understand. I know that whenever I need help, a professor will always be there.
Jessica
I think the best thing about ODU is the amount of club, club and varisty sports to be a apart of, as well as the soroities and fraternities. There is a place or group for everyone and anyone to be a part of. ODU is very diverse and I believe that is a great quality.
Stephanie
Old Dominion is expanding very quickly, I believe that the school has a great future and many promising programs coming in and/or being developed.
