Oregon State University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Matthew

The people, the campus, the city, the housing. It's a pretty great place.

Spencer

The best thing about Oregon state university is the availability of the professors. As a student I have always made a point to visit professors. This increases my relationship with the professors, which makes them more willing to help me when I need it. Office hours are always clearly stated on the syllabus at the beginning of the term. If the time given does not match well with a students schedule they are happy to schedule an appointment. This is very important for a school to have because it creates a better learning environment and easy access to extra help.

We have a very open and beutiful campus. There are alot of sporting and club opurtunities at the University and there always seems to be something to do. Its much different from high school where three are slow parts of the education plan. here ther is always some where to be and something to do. So if this kind of life style suits you like it does me then OSU is the place for you!

Oregon State University has incredible advisers and post-graduate career connections. These people are always available for coaching and advice, and they really seem like they care. Because of this, I have high hopes of finding a suitable career after I complete my degree.

The best thing about my school is the staff. I have always been able to reach a member of the staff at any time and had my questions and concerned answered immediatly or referred to someone who did have the ability to help me.

Gillian

The enormous variety of activities and opportunities makes Oregon State a premier school. Social dancing, sporting events, undergraduate research, and musical activities are all extremely popular. It was a nice surprise for me coming to OSU to find that it isn't exactly the norm to drink yourself into a stupor every weekend.

The diversity of academic programs offered is well varied and able to encompass many of the needs of students who are attending or wish to attend here.

Ryan

I love all of the different cubs, groups, and activities that are offered to students.

Lauren

I consider the best thing about my school to be the availability and encouragment of options. Oregon State University is the kind of school that anyone could attend and find a major that is suitable for them. There is a lot of variety to the types of classes offered, which makes undecided students feel less overwhelmed in their decision. This demonstrated by the school's overall encouragment towards students to try and attend new classes. Oregon State prides itself in students open-mindedness and curiosity to try new classes to ensure their focus is one that is perfect for them.

It's science department

Meaghan

The thing that makes OSU unique is that, even though we have a large campus with hundreds of buildings, everything is easy to find. Most of the classroom buildings are on Campus Way and Jefferson Way. The rest of campus has the typical dorms, dining centers, administrative buildings, and more, but OSU also has large areas of fields and trees, which I feel makes the difference. It gives students a place to hang out, play games, and more!

Jennifer

OSU will finally be smoke free on September 1st!!! I cannot wait. I have no idea if that is unique to only a few colleges but it is something I am so excited about!

Michelle

I think the best part of Oregon State University is how easy it is to get involved, we have numerous clubs, sports and student body governments.

Isaac

I would consider dedication the best thing about Oregon State. Everyone here is dedicated, from the professors to the teacher's assistants and even the students, or at least the majority of students. They are dedicated not just to the University but to learning more, to teaching more, to increasing their knowledge and preparing young adults for a strong career in the future. All of the teachers I have had have not only cared about what they are teaching and known the subject well, but made themselves available for help even in very large classes. I appreciate that very much.

Ashtyn

OSU's campus is unique for a lot of reasons. I would say what makes it very unique is the huge, very old, trees on it, as well as the classic style buildings which all match one another. It's such a beautiful campus and there are so many resources on campus that make it not only aesthetically pleasing, but also incredibly unique because it houses so many options that serve any interest groups.

Derek

The community at Oregon State University is outstanding, everyone is so friendly and helpful. You will have no problems meeting new people, friends, and making great memories.

Kendall

Oregon State University's student body is very diverse. Differences are generally respected and embraced.

Travis

I feel that the quality of the professors and the makeup of the student body are my schools best qualities.

Ashley

I really like the enthusiastic response the professors have about teaching. I have heard of schools where the professors are just teaching because they are required to not because they want to, but I have never come across that at OSU. Most of the professors show up happy to be there that day and very knowledgable about what they are supposed to be teaching about.

Katie

Our school is extremely friendsly with an absolutely beautiful campus, but our student services are fantastic. A state of the art gym, psychological services, craft center, cultural centers, computing centers, wi fi all over campus, and numerous health services, all for free. There are also other services in various departments for reduced prices for students.
