Amazing school, very well organized. Lots of resources, awesome campus : beautiful, peaceful. I feel honored to be an Alum from here. I felt my education from here was very valuable. Really loved the labs, classes can be a bit large. One downfall can be when the larger classes split into smaller groups throughout the week and a Graduate student teacher is in charge ( sometimes they aren't super helpful, sometimes they're- but you could run into this at any school). The library is huge- six floors-higher up you go - the quieter it is. Private study rooms for rent with key cards at front desk. Really lovely!
I am a OSU online computer science student. This postbacc program is a great way for those with non-CS backgrounds to break into tech. The professors are easily accessible on Piazza and via email as are the TAs. The cost of the degree is just under $30k, and most of it can be paid for with student loans. The program can be completed in 1-2 years depending on your work schedule. The intro classes are taught in Python which is a great beginner language. Because this program is online, you can complete it from anywhere. All you need is a laptop and a whiteboard. Highly recommend!
I took the final year of my undergraduate degree online via e-campus. The experience of the learning online from Oregon State University was an excellent one; the professors took the online classes seriously just as they would for in-person classes. Taking online classes provided for a variety of new assignments that may not have been available for in-person learning. These assignments included discussion posts encouraging interaction with other students and recorded videos for projects. It could be easy to feel distant from classmates and professors via online learning, but OSU made me feel connected and a real part of the school at all turns. If anyone is looking for an online program to earn your undergraduate degree, I highly recommend considering Oregon State University's e-campus programs.
