I wish I would've known that the required classes that we have to take teach about feminism, and that is something that I really don't agree with. I also wish I would've known that the staff here are very opionated, and aren't really open minded about their students views. They are very naive in a since because they're not willing to take a challenge and acknowledge the fact that everyone is different, and that everyone doesn't view the world the same way they do.

How much money I would need.

Cheyanna

I wish I knew exactly how I would come up with the cost of attendance. I have finished one year and my mother keeps telling me I should transfer, but I really love the school I go to. However, the school I attend is putting a strain on my family financially.

That 2,000 students is a little too small OWU isn't that helpful with academic advising Even though it is a little school, its still hard to get into classes It is really hard to live off campus before senior year Take advantage of the lectures and events and all the opportunities OWU has to offer OWU has a large transfer percentage because it lets in a large percentage of applicants but its academically challenging and some people struggle You either Love OWU or you hate it
