I am very happy with my choice to attend Oklahoma State University. This school has everything I was looking for: a great reputation, a wide range of extracurricular activities, a fun and friendly atmosphere, a high-quality education, and qualified professors. Oklahoma State University is not just a college, it is a family.

Live close to food. Get an ethernet cable for internet. Bring a bike. Buy your all sports pass soon. Don't live in Parker, Wents, Scott, or Stout. Use the tutoring resources. Go to welcome week events and make friends. Get classes done early. Amazing college!

I called the admissions office to clarify scholarship and out of state tuition. The staff member who answered was not knowledgeable and actually felt the need to ask me if she had to look up the information. This is a direct reflection of how they treat students. It is also a direct reflection of the education level of this institution. You have ma

This review is based on the complete and utter incompetence of this University to help their students during a literal pandemic. This school doesn't care how many people fail because the online classes are widely horrible. This school cares about its athletes and generating revenue. DO BETTER.
Overall 1.4
Avoid OSU.
Overall 1.6
OSU feels like a large community college, but lacking the reasons to go to a community college. I assume the main appeal is that if you're even slightly literate you can pass the ACT requirement to attend. Stillwater is empty, there is literal ghost town just down the road. Professors are awful & arrogant despite not doing anything. :D

If your from OK or are used to places like this then you might love OSU, but out of state kids, this is NOT the place to be. A run down town with horrendous food options on and off campus. Classes/profs suck, poor kid even died in my dorm and was left in there for days and university swept it under the rug. All around not worth the hype.
Overall 1.8
OSU looks great from the outside. They spend a lot of money and time making the outward appearance look phenomenal. The buildings are old and falling apart. Not enough ADA accommodations. Parking is a nightmare. Faculty & Staff pay for parking and they aren't guaranteed a parking space! Too much $$ spent on football & not on what really matters.

Thought I was going to a great college from being told by alumni I would have a great time. I met the fakest people there. Also, in December, everyone in my building reported a of a really horrible smell for a week and it was a dead kid!! OSU didn't attend to the smell for a week and didn't give answers. Was safety hazard and so sad. OSU didn'tcare

Took some good classes. Campus is boring and Stillwater is an awful location. Lots of frat people so if that isn't your thing then you will suffer here. Food is criminally overpriced and low quality. Library is lousy and cramped. Not a lot of jobs on or off campus.

only come here if you Love frats

Honestly this college is way over rated for what is it. Its honestly not worth what you pay for. Most of the professors are really hateful and just care about themselves. The food its okay but its the same stuff over and over. The financial aid people have no idea what they are doing. The WiFi never works half the time. Would not recommend it.
