Old Dominion University is an excellent place for a learning experience and interacting with new people. The Professors take great pride in teaching their students and doing everything they can to make sure the students are learning the material. The food places here are fantastic, and students have a lot of varieties to choose from on campus! I highly recommend Old Dominion University.
My online experience has been fantastic! My professors reached out numerous times before the start of class to ensure we fully understood what the fall semester looks like. The professors ensured I received their syllabus and materials list that are necessary to be successful in their classes. I really appreciated them reaching out early because that allowed me to strategically plan the next four months. My professors did a great job providing multiple ways to contact them through email, phone, in-person, zoom, and on blackboard.
I am currently enrolled in my first semester at ODU. So far, everything has been going great and I'm very happy to be here. The only thing that I think needs improvement is the financial aid and finance offices. I am waiting on my state's two year transfer grant to apply to my account and the finance office didn't work with me very much. I felt forced to enroll in a payment plan, which cost me far more money than I feel comfortable with. I work two jobs and still struggle to make ends meet, so I'm not very happy with how that issue has been handled thus far. Otherwise, my experience here has been very pleasant!
