Oregon State University Top Questions

Any and all kinds of persons should come to Oregon State Univeristy. It is a very well diversified campus and the opportunities and resources that are there for all types of people; purple big, curly haired, gay, etc. are phenomenal. There is truly something for everyone here and that is what made me happy that I chose the school that I did. I wouldn't change it for the word. One requirement of someone wanting to attend OSU is to be very well goal driven. It's a cut throat world out therer that we need to be prepared for.

I dont think this school makes it possible for any person not to attend, the school accepts all different types of people and allows for many with different desires to come and pursue their dreams.

This university has so much to offer that no one should be excluded. However, it caters to the science and engineering pursuants of tomorrow. It has one of the best engineering programs in the nation with a wide variety of disciplines. Therefore, anyone interested in liberal arts I would recommend choose a different school. Anyone who wants a very small school or unusually large school should look elsewhere as well. O.S.U. is about 24,000 students strong.

Someone who doesn't have a goal from their education can get caught up in all there is to do here and discover that they're on their fifth year of college and still have at least two more before obtaining a degree. Even if you change your major multiple times, have a goal.

Oregon State University has a wide variety of programs to choose from, I believe that this school is for everyone. There is always something and someone that people can connect to, which makes the experience that much greater.

The jump from high school to college is big. Students who expect their professors to motivate them to do their work will not be successful at Oregon State University. You need to be self motivated to be successful at this university. There are plenty of opportunities out there to help you with your studies but you have to be the person to take advantage of them. Although it may be easy to get into OSU, it requires a lot of time and energy to maintain a descent GPA. This is not a school for people who want their hands held.

Don't come to college just because you are supposed to or because your friends are or because your parents are forcing you to. Go because you want to be there. Any motivation other than your dreams and your goals will be a stumbling block to your success. It's okay to come to college with an undecided major, to search out options and find what you are looking for, but don't spend too much time in indecision. Indecision leads to apathy. Don't come to this school if you aren't ready to fight for what you want.

Any one who doesn't like beautiful scenery or a green campus!

We are a school where if you have something to say, then you have the means to say it. We have weeks devoted to certain causes such as AIDS and Martin Luther King where events are held in the quad to create awareness. If you are a person who isn't comfortable with great adversity like people willing to share their political, cultural, or religious views than this school isn't going to be right for you.

There are lots of options for everybody. If they don't have your major (ex. Nursing), you can always get pre-requisites done here and then continue your education at another institution
