Review of Oregon State University

from Chandler, AZ

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

OSU has many resources for students to be successful. First of all the amount of tutoring with teacher assistants and at the library. Second of all, the open office hours of the professors are great because they really want students to go in and ask away. Many classes here are 200 or more students, but if you take the initiative of sitting in the front and asking questions once in a while, you can benefit from the class. At the end, it all depends on the student and how they approach the class.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Everyone is friendly and open minded. Many resources are placed inside and outside of campus, so you never get bored. I am enjoying getting to meet many students from around the world and going to many of the cultured based activities inside OSU.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I am an out of state student so my tuition tends to be pretty high, at least 10,000 more than an in state student. For me becoming a resident and applying for scholarships will allow me to stay in my dream school. Whatever it takes, don't let the numbers scare you, because there are ways.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

1. Always go to class, because there might be a chance that the professor will go over important things to know for the midterm or test. 2. Always read the book chapter before class, allowing you to understand and ask questions later on (the unclear stuff). 3. Take advantage of the professor's office hours and tutoring 4. Have fun! go to college events and explore...there are so many open opportunities, you just need to look for them.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

OSU is great for students who are not big city people, students that want a calmer town. It may seem small, but it has a lot to offer. Besides that any student can come here to explore the many opportunities (majors, study abroad, internships, culture, diversity,tolerance, etc.)
