I am so glad I decided to attend Oklahoma State University. There are many opportunities for all kinds of people to be a part of campus life including dozens of clubs, sororities and fraternities, sports, band, orchestra, student government, etc. Being a part of football games and Homecoming are also a great way to celebrate being a cowboy and get involved. There are also many excellent professors and a great Honors College, so you know that you're getting a quality education. Before I even got to campus I had heard about how friendly everyone on campus is and didn't believe it until I actually started attending, and it's true! You can walk up to pretty much anyone if you're lost and ask where a certain building is, and the people you live with in the dorms are definitely great. Stillwater is also a great town to live in because it's smaller than a city, but has everything you need. Overall I have had an awesome experience at Oklahoma State, Go Pokes!
Review Oklahoma State University
At Oklahoma State University everyone is made to feel like family from the classrooms, to the football games, to the student life events. The library has plenty of resources, such as printers, computers, tutoring centers and it even offers private rooms to reserve for group studies. With so many clubs offered it is almost too hard to choose! The student union is the heart of the campus and a great gathering place for all. With all the team spirit and cowboy pride Oklahoma State University can turn anyone into a Cowgirl or Cowboy! Go Pokes!
My experience here at OSU has been the best. The surroundings, the events, the professors, the RA's, the people, the food, the dorms everything is just beyond great. The school is very diverse so I like how they make you feel welcomed and they have many minority groups. I love that the library is open 24 hours Monday-Friday, so then if you ever need to do something at the last minute, the library is always opened. They also have 24 hour police services, so if you are ever stranded or you're afraid to walk somewhere alone, call them and they will have someone there within 2 minutes. I like how the facilities are always opened to you whenever you need them. This is such a great school, and I am so glad I am able to be here. Go Pokes!
