    Northern Oklahoma College Reviews

    My experiences at Northern Oklahoma College were great! The professors were amazing at what they taught. They challenged each student who took their class, yet would help each student that was struggling. The college campus itself is small enough to get around easily. The only downfall to this campus and probably every college campus across the United States is that their working budgets have been drastically cut over the last four years. The amount paid per class is much lower than what is paid in the universities and other colleges throughout Oklahoma. This allows the student to get their basics out of the way and they can focus on their undergraduate courses after they graduate from Northern Oklahoma College. In the future for this college, I would love to see the funds returned so that the programs which have been cut could be restored. I would love to see the Roustabout program create their own museum to share with others the rich heritage which began in the 1960s.

    I am starting my second year at Northern Oklahoma College in Stillwater Oklahoma. I came to the school to cheer for Oklahoma State University and gained a whole new family here in Oklahoma. The campus is much bigger than I imagined. The people are very friendly and helpful. I left my family and traveled half way across the country to go to this school. It has definitely been and experience. The campus is close to OSU campus, I walk everywhere. The buildings are all clearly marked and easily found. Again, this year has been a great experience and I look forward to continuing my schooling right here at NOC and then transferring to OSU when that time comes.
    Good classes and professors. Pretty light workload, very easy to pass as long as you can write well and are willing to put in the time to study for exams. Professors have all been pretty good. Getting textbooks can be tricky since the bookstore ladies are a bunch of scammers but as long as you stand your ground and dig your heels in you'll be okay. Stay on top of your financial information and class info, especially before the semester starts. They do not communicate well.
