Oregon State University Reviews
Rating 3.7 out of 5 3,043 reviews
Exceptional school with a tight knit community. The university has so much to offer, and provides students with the tools and resources to be successful. As a California native, I did consider the rain as a factor in my school selection process. My biggest piece of advice is try new things, join clubs, and meet people at the start of your college career. It is easy to work with the weather when you have a network of friends around you.
While many campus resources were available to me, specifically through my college department, some overall OSU resources were lacking. The healthcare department for instance needs improvement, and I know this is something they are working on. If you are interested in an exceptional college in a lively college town, OSU is the place to be.

So far I’m very happy with my experience as an online student at Oregon State University. I feel that the classes have increased in difficulty and are definitely more aligned with my goals and help me create a pathway to success. I am very grateful that a fully online degree is available for my degree path which ultimately was a major factor in my choice here at Oregon State. I’m hoping to transition back into in person classes at some point as I do miss personally interacting with my peers and teachers. All in all it’s definitely been a great experience so far and I look forward to completing my Bachelor’s degree here at OSU.
The best online education experience I have ever had! Every course I took at OSU came with exemplary instruction by the professors that were very supportive towards student success. Canvas, the online paltform used for course instruction, was simple and organized which enabled me to stay on track of my weekly and daily tasks. In addition, my guidance counselor was always easy to make an appointment with and built a relationship with me which helped keep me motivated and on track to finish in time! Oregon State University was hands down the best choice I could have made to attain my BS in Natural Resources!
