I would recommend ODU to everyone due to their diversity and school spirit. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help. Not only do the teachers want you to succeed, but they make sure you get the right instruction so you do.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would not trade this school for the world. Come here with an open mind and stay true to yourself, because with that you will truly enjoy the family of ODU.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academics is very important here. But, of course you know that at the end of the day the work is up to you. There is many ways you can succeed due to tutoring, recitations, and help centers. So please don't be afraid to ask questions or seek help.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
All of the dorms are very nice. Of course as freshman sometimes you might end up in the older ones, but trust me you have somewhere to rest your head, which is the most important.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Cafe 1201 is my favor due to the size so their is more options. Honestly speaking, I wish the menu could be switched up a little better and offer more varieties.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
ODU has so many things to do whether it's Women's Climb Night or lazer tag. They try to always give the students chances to meet new people and have somehwere safe to hang out on the weekends. I love the different activities they have to offer in the weeks, you will always have something to do. And if your still not impressed with that? We have activity hours every Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Honestly, it's great for all students. I would recommend people who want to know more of other cultures or just get down by the beach.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Honestly, every club you can think of they have. It is the best way of gaining more friends and being apart of an organization. Most of it is community service but it gives back in whatever cause you would like to join.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Of course no matter where you go there is still going to be incidents and crime. In my opinion however, ODU does a great job of limiting the incidents and crime by offering a monarch loop that takes you around campus from 7:30am-12am. Also, we have a reliable service called Safe Ride and this is for students who need a safe ride home no matter where the location. Lastly, there is emergency buttons posted all around campus so if you feel you are in danger then you can hit it and ODU police will be there in a flash.
