Old Dominion University Top Questions

That I wanted to major in criminal justice and not women studies.

I wish I would have know that the housing process isn't as satisfying as I thought it would be.

Ha, the only piece of information that I wish I knew going in was the erratic weather patterns. I had never lived by the coast before, so the constant wind and/or rain was a very harsh surprise.

I have been attending Old Dominion University. Before coming to this school, I wish I would have known more about the dangerous community that surrounds the school. I also wish I would have known the importance of going to all of my classes.

The parking is horrible. The University is growing faster than they can build dorms.

The cost of living here. It is far more expensive than most university towns I have been to.

My major.

I wish I would have known about more housing opportunities before I came to this school. ODU is a commuter school but I think more people would live on-campus or closer to campus had they known about the ODU off-campus communities.

I wish I had known how much walking I was going to be doing to get to all my classes, that not all the classes are close together and I wish I had known that I get to pick my classes online instead of asking what I should pick. That you meet new people from all over the world and get to understand their culture and how they came to the school

Every school has it's own culture of people and community. I wish I had known what kind of community resides here at ODU because I believe that college is meant for the sole pupose of learning, but not just in academics but within our very selves. It gives us the opportunity to grow ourselves individually, and make relationships. In a school that is mostly known in past years to be a communter school (it is no longer a communter school now), it can be difficult at times to involve oneself in the present community.
