What's unique about my school compared to others is the amount of diversity. Coming from a diverse town, it was extremely important to me to maintain the same environment. Speaking with a lot of my other friends who go to other schools with very minimal diversity, I feel grateful and glad to be part of the diverse community my school is. Also, my school is like a democracy. The students are heard more than other schools and are able to make decisions based on a majority.

There is a lot of cultural diversity here, as there is a strong international program here.

Honestly, I could sit here for days and tell you about ODU. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ODU. I never knew what college I wanted to go to nor what I wante dto major in. But when I came to ODU's open house I got that "home feeling" the "this is it" feeling. And I knew I waned to come here. It's been one heck of a year, I've matured so much, learned so much, met so many people, got involved in a tone of things, made great friends and I can't wait to go back.

What made Old Dominion unique to me is it's location. Located in the city of Norfolk, it's close enough to downtown that you have something to do on the weekends when you have free time but you're far away enough that it's not a distraction during the weekdays. There is a shuttle service available to take you to the mall so you can go to the movies with friends even if you don't have your own car - convenient things like that make Old Dominion stick out.

Old Dominion University is an inexpensive public university, that offered a variety of majors with excellent programs. It also has a variety of sororities, extracurricular activities, and a diverse atmosphere. Unlike most universities, Old Dominion is located in society unlike other colleges that tend to be secluded; so it gives the feeling of still being involved in the "real" world.

The campus is very culturally diverse and has a lot of international oppurtunities. If you try hard enough, you can be overseas just after your freshman year.

What I enjoy about ODU is the students down to earth personality, willing to help each other to make it throught the semester. There is school spirit despite that we do not have a football team. In 2009, we will have our first football game and all the students are already showing there school spirit. There is so much divieristy we all learn from each others cultures.

I chose Old Dominion because it was the cheapest school in Virginia. That is why I chose it, and wasn't sure that I was very happy with this choice. After the first semester I realized that ODU was the place for me. I love the classes and the teachers, and I have learned so much. The campus is a great size and I have never felt better about my choice then I do now.

ODU is an up and coming school, innovating and renovating while us students get to experience it. There will be a football team, new buildings, gyms, etc. The school is earning more credibility.

All the faculty all professions, especially in the music department . The saying that goes those who cant do, teach. Doesn't apply here. all the teachers perform regularly.
