I took a variety of classes and enjoyed each and everyone of them. My favorite class of my 2008 fall semester was intro to sociology with Dr. George Sanders. We covered a wide range of topics, and Dr. Sanders employed a wide range of teaching techniques. Although I am a music major, and do not necessarily need to know the inns and outs of sociology, I will carry the knowledge I gained from this course with me forever, and I will continue to take sociology classes as electives.
Did enjoy being here
The Campus is beautiful, the professors are knowledgeable and friendly, and I feel that I really had a great College experience. I took advantage of the extensive Kresge Library, I played trumpet in the practice rooms of Varner Hall, I studied beneath a great oak near the fountain, and I had a snowball fight on the soccer field. I cheered for the basketball team as a member of pep-band, and I read non-academic books by the fire-place in the Oakland Center. In short, Great Campus, and always lots to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Compared to other Universities around )(University of Michigan, Wayne State university) the tuition is very reasonable. Oakland was very generous with financial aid, and they were quick to offer me work study opportunities. You also get allot more than just tuition. As an Oakland student, you have free access to the fitness center, and many other free activities going on everyday on campus.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Tour the Campus before your scrambling to get to class on time - many of the buildings are very far apart. Try to coordinate your schedule so that you have time in between classes for studying, as well as socializing. Enjoy yourself, and don;t be too hard on yourself - there are tons of resources at Oakland to help you succeed.
