Oregon Tech's campus us amazing for anyone who wants a good education without the social anxiety. The small class sizes are great for learning and are amazing because the professor knows your name rather than your ID number. Every single person on campus is super friendly and there are so many opportunities for jobs and student events!

OIT is a great place to come and be yourself. The programs are a little difficult but they get you ready for your job. The professors are awesome and all of them are always willing to help any way they can.

I loved going to school here. The faculty and staff genuinely care about their students, and if you get a student worker position they will work with you more than any job i've seen. It's a small town with not much to do but the people are great and make it worth it. While it is a place for focusing, you can still find interesting things to do.

Oregon Tech gives so many opportunities to their students. If you like to be isolated, klamath falls is a perfect place for you. Oregon Tech focuses more on their academics than anything. It is a perfect place for medical students and engineers.

OIT provides a great education and has good professors. It has decent facilities and has all the equipment you'll need for any work. Being in Klamath Falls isn't great but you get used to it and its worth it for the school.

Awesome school to attend. Klamath isn't the best place to be. It's not a chilling town hence the best for studying. The faculty and staff are all fantastic. Stay focused, get your degree and get out. The $$ and chilling come in after the show. If you are into hiking, the cascades are close by.

Love all of the professors. All of the professors are close to their students and will help them with the material if they are struggling. Campus environment is great. Professors strive to teach students what they need to know before going out into the real world.

I hate people but love math. OIT is the school for me.

There are very few good things that can be said of this university. OIT offers some advanced degrees, but the road to acquiring one of these will be encumbered with an aggregation of inerudite, uncultured professors. Seek your education elsewhere if possible.

OIT is kind of a joke. The school lures you in with false hopes and promises. I have never seen so many unprofessional teachers that lie to their students. Many of their teachers are under educated and should not be teaching. I made a poor choice by coming to OIT. Make sure you do your homework before you attend. There are many better choices.

For a starter's they have been increasing medical degrees budgets and decreasing engineering budgets for 10 years running ok if your medical but for and electrical engineer who has to use caps older than him that's pretty messed up. To boot i had a bad adviser and getting into classes i needed was a nightmare! plus the towns crap! go to portland!

Poor location, immature students, and not many opportunities here. That said, I loved my program here, so I transferred up to the Wilsonville Oregon Tech campus three terms ago, and the difference has been night and day. Better academics, program, and people have made my first year here wonderful. I would transfer again in a heartbeat.

Going to OIT was a huge mistake. The instructors don't give a crap about the students. They get heafty salaries and make the programs overly difficult to "weed out" students. Most of their instructors only have a Bachelor's degree!! Campus buildings are dirty inside and science equip is old. Wish I wouldn't have wasted my time and money here.

As if Klamath Falls itself wasn't bad enough, the programs and staff here are extremely undesirable. This is absolutely a "last resort" type of school, hence the near-100% acceptance rate. The EE program will give 100%'s on labs if equipment is broken, which happens a lot... do people stay at this school to not try or learn anything at all?

Oregon Tech is a mediocre campus in a disturbingly disgusting and terrible town. Some of the program at OIT are extremely good, while some are extremely bad. The Electrical Engineering program at OIT is a complete joke, and sometimes we aren't even sure if what we are seeing is even real. For electrical engineering, "The circus is always in town."
