It costs too much for out-of-state students like me.

The worst thing about my school is that there is bad lighting at night, which makes it unsafe for students to walk around after sunset. Also, the financial aid department does not offer enough opportunities for scholarships and grants because I come from a low income family and get good grades, but I don't receive much help. The only offer loans.

Many people find Corvallis to be a boring town. I however don't find this to be an issue. Also, I haven't had the best experiences working with advisors at OSU but I don't know many people that have had better luck with that at other schools. And some of the TA's don't speak english very well which can make learning difficult.

College drinking, partying. Why? That's obvious.

When the wind is right you smell the dariy farm and it stinks.

The worst thing about OSU is the large general education classes. Many of these classes have 400 students in them so it is hard to get to know your professors or get help if you ever need it. However, the TAs in most of the classes are a great resource if people ask them.

Once in a while there's a smell that drifts through the campus from the farms on the west side of the town and it smells like cow poop. Other than that the campus is outstanding.

The lack of parking for students on and off campus.

The worst thing about my school is that the dorms do not offer the best living situations. The roommate matching network is not the greatest and the food for the dormitories aren't the best. They need more varitey and they charge too much money per meal.
