Oregon State University Top Questions

People with a specific goal in mind should attend this college . The cost of this school is not for someone that does not know what they want to do with thier life , they need to have a set goal.

I think the only type of person that would not feel welcome at Oregon State University is one that prefers a smaller classroom size. Most of my lectures have 100 - 250 people on average, but there are labs and recitations that typically have 20 - 30 students, which help a lot. Also, T.A.'s and professors have office hours to provide extra help, and most are willing to meet with you if you are unable to make it during the allotted times. Other than that, it is a very diverse campus racially and according to interests as well.

People who are artistic and focused on pursuing art, people who are liberal, people who are gay. I'm interested in pursuing art, liberal, and I prefer not to put myself in a box when expressing my sexuality. Most people at Oregon State are conservative, like to put people in boxes, etc.

I don't think that this school is a bad choice for anyone unless you don't like the beavers and are a duck fan. That is the only reason I can come up with.

Someone that doesnt care about the people that they attend with. Everyone on campus loves to meet new people you must be like that. Also you should know what it is that you want to do. Its easy to find your self switching majors a million times because of how easy the school makes it.

Students that have strong studying skills and di good in high school.

Students who are not academically focused and ready to commit to an internship and in class research.

People that can't handle the rain, aren't serious about school, aren't friendly, or don't like Oregon. People that only want a very small school atmosphere. If you don't know what you want to do and are coming from out of state it is expensive.

A person who likes big city life, has a very passionate interest in the arts fields, and is uncomfortable with agriculture.

The kind of person that shouldn't attend this school are people that are not serious about earning a degree. There is a big social part of this school but academics are more important and if your not serious about working in your classes then this is not the place for you. This school has a strict academic rules.If you dont pass your classes then you will be put on academic probabtion first and if you continue to party and not study then you will be put on academic suspension. So it would be a waist of money. time.

I would not attend this school if I were a person looking for small class sizes with a more intimate one on one with professors. Until you get up to the 300 and 400 level classes most of your class sizes are in the 100's. A lot of people find it much harder to learn when put into large auditorium size classes. I would just reccommend to those that are looking for those smaller classes to look elsewhere first.

A person that wants to get a leg up on people at other schools becuase the teachers here are some of the best around and so we are able to get a lot of help from them.

Anyone who is only interested in parties and sun.

I think that for a person who is a little more socially reserved, it might be hard to adjust to OSU. It is a big, friendly campus but I can be extremely overwhelming in size and activity from time to time. Also, much of the campus life involves being social. However, I think OSU is a great school and if a person was looking to succeed and liked a wide variety of scholastic and social activities, it is the place to be.

Really liberal people.

Someone who's looking for a school in a big city or is looking for a huge nightlife. The city where it is located is a college town but there isn't too much shopping or nightclubs. This school is not for someone who doesn't have school spirit.

I would as a person who is interseted in getting a solid education, wants to have fun and also experience the college life.

People who do not have a good idea of what they want to do and don't have the modivation to do it.

People who enjoy nature and are environmentally concerned. Students who are interested in hands on learning.

I would say if you're a liberal arts major, then perhaps this isn't the best school for you. U of O is more into that stuff, here at OSU its really about the sciences and the engineering. On the other hand if you're looking into Greek life, OSU has got a great one, U of O, not so much.
