I feel as though this school is pretty open to all kinds of people and OSU has a little bit of everything for everyone, but sometimes this school can feel overwhelming for someone looking for a small college. Also, people who are looking for a Liberal-Arts college should consider looking elsewhere such as UofO.

There are such a diverse variety of majors, people, and departments at Oregon State. There is something for just about everyone, but people who enjoy the large rush of the city may be a little disappointed considering Corvallis is a pretty rural close knit town. Also on the opposite end of the spectrum for those who are not thrilled about taking full advantage of campus life might find Oregon State a little overrated since the funniest part of everything is the close-knit town and fans.

Students who do not want to have a strong connection to their environment and prefer to help only human beings should not attend this university because Oregon is mostly a physics and biology-based college.

The type of person who shouldn't attend OSU is someone who is afraid of being social and getting to know many diverse types of people because the campus is so big and there are so many different events and opportunities that are available. Also, the school is not for someone who can't step out of their comfort zone, OSU has many clubs and internships for everyone, even undergraduates.

If a student is not one that likes social life that is heavily focused on sororities and fraterities, it might not be the best choice. It will be necessary to find groups that compliment your field, because the focus on "Greek" culture can leave some students feeling alienated. Also, if it bothers you that there is a great emphasis on the "hard sciences" or technology, it might not be the best school. With that said, the College of Liberal Arts has grown and this should help offet feelings that some students have. Ecampus is available as well.

Those who are not encouraged to attend Oregon State are closed-minded, dependent, needy, unfocused, and value a social life opposed to academics.
Alexa
Someone who likes small town life. It is a big school and you are just one of many so it is hard to make that adustment.

People who are not motivated enough to stay in college should not attend Oregon State University because you would be wasting approximately 21,000+ dollars a year. If you plan on dropping out of college, I recommend you going to a community college.
Trinity
Someone who wants a small classroom environment with interaction between students and professors

A person who is unsure of their abilities should not attend Oregon State. It is a great University, but the classes are challenging and a student should not just expect to coast through the classes. If you come to Oregon State, you should come serious to learn, study, and be very interested in your field of study. I would say confidence is a key to being ready, if you are not confident in yourself and what you can do, it will hinder you so much in what you will do.
