Oregon State University Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Oregon State University?

Marcus

No idea, so many people come here, that few would feel out of place here.

Shawn

People that don't want to learn or work hard.

Nicole

Someone who shouldn't attend this school would is someone who doesn't enjoy a more rural environment. There isn't a lot of stuff to do on the weekends, so you have to be creative. Also, the weather can be unpredictable and pretty rainy in the fall and winter months, so one should be prepared for it.

Brandie

People who aren't focused enough on learning won't do well at this school. You need to be willing to carry the work load.

Monica

The type of person that should avoid OSU is someone who feels that they are entitled to a grade just because they show up. It depends on your area of study, but most areas require you to being groups and discuss your studies.

Stacey

Someone who is very career focused should attend this school. OSU is known for being a party college, so in order to succeed one should be able to handle his or her own corse load and be able to ignore the party scene (for the most part). Also, the person should be ready for a small town atmosphere, since Corvallis can be a po-dunk town.

Sean

Someone who is only going to school because their parents are paying for it, or it is expected. If a person isn't motivated, they shouldn't attend this school or any school. Otherwise, if an individual is humble, they can get everything they need from this school, they just simply have to put out some effort to get it. If an individual's ego tells them that they need to attend a private university in order to feel special, I recommend they don't attend this school because again, they won't be motivated to do well.

Matt

I think that Oregon State is a good college for anybody to attend. It is very welcoming to all types of people.

Tiffany

I personally think that anyone should attend OSU. It's a great school. The people are really friendly and just great people to get to know.

Natalie

Someone who likes to party and will fit in well in a fraternity or sorority. Also, this person should love the cold and rain, as they will be walking in it to and from class almost every day. Someone with a science, engineering, or business major would do very well, or someone who was interested in agriculture. They should enjoy staying in cramped quarters with a stranger, using communal bathrooms, and shouldn't be worried about their weight (because the food isn't very good for you). Also, an unnatural love of ugg boots for the girls is a must.
