The best college experience in the state of Oklahoma! The Greek life is amazing and shines a positive light on campus rather than hurt it. "America's Greatest Homecoming" is something everyone should see in person. The campus is brand new with great long standing traditions. One of the best places to watch sports, a true college town. There is always construction and the campus keeps on getting bigger and better each year. Everyone should definitely check Stillwater out. What makes Oklahoma State so special are the people that attend and work at OSU! It is most definitely home away from home! Go Pokes!

All of my first year professors were very kind and knowledgeable about the subjects they taught. There are always tons of activities going on around campus, it's impossible to have nothing to do if you take part in clubs or events going on around campus. The other students on campus are nice, and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming in general. The campus police are very diligent and make sure all of the students are safe, and there's even an app for safety on campus! Oklahoma State shows a genuine care for their students even though the school is decently populated at this point. The only issue I really had was parking, as it's hard to find spots sometimes.
I am from Washington so coming to Oklahoma was a complete culture shock for me, however being on campus and attending OSU was one of the best decisions I've ever made! I quickly made lots of new friends, and the campus is pretty easy to maneuver. All of my professors were very kind and eager to answer questions and help out any way they could. It was really easy to get involved on campus because there are so many organizations to choose from that are always welcoming new members. Go pokes!
