REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI am a learning a lot at ODU through the small classes and intimate learning experiences. As a Business major in my sophomore year, I have begun to learn about real skills that I will need in my career. Also, as ODU is a Liberal Arts College, I have also had the opportunity to take classes outside of my field such as Art, Philosophy, and Theology. Each one of these classes has let me become more creative in my writing and artistic abilities. It is nice to still be able to experience classes like these even though the core of my academia is more along the lines of Business, Accounting, and Economic classes. This semester went exceptionally well for me as I received a high enough GPA to become a member of the Dean's List!
