Oklahoma State University is an amazing place. After touring many campuses before choosing OSU, I realized that OSU was the only one that truly felt like home. The people there are very friendly and will start conversations with you even if you don't know them. There are many on campus clubs, activities, events, etc that makes it very easy to get involved. You cannot miss an opportunity to get involved because there are booths everywhere every single day! Sporting events are very lively and fun as well. There is always someone on the Campus that is willing to help you with whatever you need, as well as support groups. A very unique thing that the campus has to offer is a therapy dog program called Petes Pet Posse. There are several therapy dogs that can be found throughout the campus that can lighten anybody's day! The opportunities at OSU are endless and I highly recommend for anyone who is considering it.

This is my second year going here and it has been a roller coaster of a ride! Classes can be really tough here and sometimes it feels as if the professors are not here to help you succeed. This is not the case for all though, many of my professors have been really helpful in teaching me. The college itself is really nice. There is a lot of remodeling being done to some of the buildings. The town around the school is really cool! It is a small town with nice little shops and restaurants. One of my favorite things about this college so far is the friends I have made here. This past semester has been one of the roughest class wise and through it, I made so many new friends! Though many of us are parting ways due to different degrees, I know I will get to see them for the next year or so at least. One thing I wish would change was how the enrollment worked. Some classes are just hard to get into but it is worse when there is only one section and very few spots for the class.

Overall, I have loved going to school here. There are so many things to do, ways to get involved and so many different kinds of people to meet! I am not much of a party-goer so that scene doesn't really suit me, but there are lots of crazy parties happening off campus. I love the sports and going to those and they are all much more geared towards student attendance than some other colleges are!
The food is ok, there aren't too many options after around 5 o'clock each night, which makes living on campus pretty tiresome as far as food goes as the other options that are open later in the day are pretty far away, which might make it inconvenient if you are studying, etc.
