Sophomore: I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Oklahoma State University. The professors invest into students and are clearly passionate about their areas of expertise. The school as a whole prioritizes its students by putting on events to get involved, offering academic support such as tutoring, and has an overwhelming sense of school spirit that makes OSU feel like home away from home. It is easy to get involved and meet those with common interests. As far as changes, there is not much that I would like to see different on my campus! One positive change would be increasing the dining options, especially for students with allergies. Additionally, lengthening the hours of operations for the dining halls would be greatly beneficial. All together, OSU has done an excellent job at meeting students where they are at and prioritizing not only their wellbeing but also providing a quality education.... Read 3,674 reviews

Graduate Student: I attended welding school at ICTC for two years in Muskogee. I grew really close to my teacher and started my future there. I was a kid & lost. Everyday I showed up and everyday I learned more and more and became the person I am today. Really changed my life and will always remember the aspect in life it gave me. If you’re questioning yourself, just do it! A degree is something no friends, family or a stranger can ever take from you. Financially struggling? Their help team helped to pay for my collage and put money in my pocket. Chase your dreams and trust in ICTC!... Read 3 reviews

Freshman: I love attending OSU-OKC. The staff and professors are vary helpful. I was nervous about attending college and failing, but the atmosphere at OSU has taught me to never give up on my dream. I think that this college is great for anyone who is interested in a smaller college and who does not want to live on campus. The college has also made online classes easy to access and so many classes are available online at your convenience. The school advisor's are also amazing at answering any questions you could have. They are never in a hurry to rush you out the door. If you are thinking about attending, I do not think you would regret it!... Read 424 reviews

If you live in Oklahoma it’s kinda right in the middle of the state so you are not to far from your hometown and can go home anytime you want. The professors help you a lot with anything you need!...

Sophomore: Overall its a pleasant experience here. Relatively small campus so a car isn't needed. The same goes for some of the town since it's a smaller one. The classes are usually small with 20 or less people. It's a cheap yet effective option. Biggest complaint is the availability of spending your meal plans. Unlike some other universities, everything food-related closes around 8. The diner itself isn't even all day; you have to get there at certain periods throughout the day. And on Fridays everything closes earlier (around 5 pm). And you're kind of out of luck if you intend to stay in dorms during holidays since everything will always be closed including the smaller holidays like Fall Break. So you'd have to get sustenance outside of campus for those 4 or 5 days without able even able to spend part of your meal plans that you paid for.... Read 564 reviews

Sophomore: Northeastern State University is an excellent college to attend. This campus has many friendly faces to meet and outstanding professors. NSU is a perfect size if you want a school that is big enough to offer everything while not feeling too overwhelmed. This college feels like home! The only thing I think this campus lacks is enough parking for housing students. However, this school offers a very diverse setting, which is incredible because not only am I learning new things from my classes, but I am also learning all kinds of cultural things from the friends I have made from attending NortheasternState University. NSU is a liberal art school with an excellent science program. While NSU offers many things academically, NSU also provides a wide variety of clubs you can join. It is almost impossible not to find a club you would love with its vast array. However, if there is no club for you, you can create your own!... Read 986 reviews

Graduate Student: I enjoyed my experience at Northern Oklahoma College. The engineering division was challenging and provided almost everything I needed to succeed. I hope to see advancements in supplying better tutoring for advanced classes. Overall, I loved my time there. The administration was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout my entire experience. I graduated with my associates in science degree. I’d like to see the engineering program grow to its real potential.

Sophomore: I love EOSC. There is a welcoming atmosphere at this college. All of the professors are amazing! They really help each student by giving their time and attention to every individuals needs. I really like how they hold students accountable for their responsibilities in the same manner understand if any life events effect their ability to perform. The advisors really take their time to get to know you and your future plans to help guide you on your way to success. They can show you different organizations to get involved with that may help you on your journey. I strongly recommend their clubs. I was a member of Phi Theta Kappa, which is an international honor society. I was the president of Business club and the Secretary of student government. I particularly loved how encouraging everyone is to help others participate in school events, organizations or activities. EOSC offers many in school scholarships that you can apply for. I was accepted for a handful.... Read 196 reviews

The online classes are great for people who don't want to overwork themselves and can be done whenever they remember the due date. I also got to work at the museum and it's been fun learning about the history of the university and of the state.... Read 231 reviews

Sophomore: My experience here overall was very good. I've made lifelong friends, many of whom are my professors from in-person classes! I absolutely never would've imagined I'd make it this far. I'm horrible at math, and I can honestly say that Prof. Talia (Branham-)Williams taking time to explain that it's just a matter of solving each problem as though it's a puzzle, and you've been given it simply to see if you're mature enough to persevere until you solve it instead of breaking down & quitting. Sorry, but I cannot praise this lady enough. There were a lot of tears, but she was a game changer for me. If I made an A in College Algebra, I can do anything. All I've got to do is remember that. :)... Read 295 reviews

Niche User: Northeastern Oklahoma is where I attend my Concurrent classes. It has introduced me into college life in the best way. The professors are all very well with their students and push their students to be the best they can be. NEO has a large amount of diversity among their students! Anyone can fit right in. Their agriculture program is very good. I have never had any bad experiences with NEO. They give their concurrent students just as much assistance as any other college student.

Freshman: Science and Arts is an Incredibly welcoming and fun school. The whole time I've been here I haven't met a single rude staff member and everyone in my dorm building has been sweet and easy to talk to. USAO has the biggest dorms in Oklahoma, so there's no need to worry about sharing a shoe box with your roommate. The classes have been easy to find and all of my professors have been welcoming to the whole class. USAO is a smaller campus so there's no worry about leaving your dorm 20 minutes early to make it too class on time, however there are still tons of fun things to do and you'll always see at least one familiar face at any social gathering. I dropped all my keys on the third day of orientation and my orientation leaders helped me find them and made sure the whole campus was aware of my missing keys and they made me feel a lot better about loosing them and helped me find them in front of Sparks hall. USAO is an easy going, welcoming, incredible school that I'm proud to be attending.... Read 201 reviews

The professors genuinely care about the students in their class, and they know you by name because the classes are small. The advisors are in your corner, and really help to ensure you are on track to graduate with your desired degree. Rose State is a safe place to grow in your educational journey, and meet incredible people along the way. It is also one of the most affordable options for college.

Graduate Student: Oklahoma City Community College was perfect for starting out my journey through college. I completed high school online, and before that I was in a private school. Because of this, I was a little intimidated integrating into a traditional school for the first time. OCCC allowed me to make this transition with no trouble. It truly is like a community in which people care about you and want you to succeed. The classes are smaller which makes it easy to connect with classmates and make friends. The teachers are communicative and make their coursework easy to understand. They provide good study materials and make the course expectations clear. OCCC is also a very affordable option, which is great when you’re just starting out. It has very helpful resources like the writing center, where people assist you in building upon your language skills. It is easy to find help when you need it. All in all, my experience here was smooth sailing, and I wouldn’t hesitate to apply here!... Read 757 reviews
