Oregon State University Top Questions

The SJW administration, the leftist professors, and the socialist students. All very pushy. All very weak spirited.

The most frustrating thing about the school is the location, while the campus and Corvallis as a town is gorgeous, the campus is about an hour away from a large shopping center. This means a lot of online shopping or spending gas to go to Salem or Eugene, neither of which is good for a students budget.

The student population has grown almost exponentially in the past decade, and the campus and city haven't responded quite accordingly. Housing on- or off-campus is incredibly hard to find, and sometimes it seems that the university runs more like a business than an educational hub.

The most frusrating thing about Oregon State is trying to get information. There are so many different departments that it is very difficult to get a straight answer from anyone.

The most frustrating thing about Oregon State is the fact that tuitíon is so expensive, especially out of state, and they don't offer very many scholarships to help with the cost. Most of my schooling will be paid with loans because financial aid didn't cover very much of the tution cost.

The most frustrating thing about Oregon State is how expensive it is to get a degree.

I believe the most frustrating thing about my school deals with it's approach toward freshman level baccalaureate core classes. All introductory classes are designed to fit as many students as possible into an auditorium to learn an important subject and, while it is unavoidable, student's must adapt their learning styles to fit the needs of the environment. This is a very poor design and often leads to student's inability to learn and therefore drop-out of school before they have transitioned into smaller, more personal classrooms that treat them like the individual they are.

Nothing really. The school is very accomodating. I don't have anything that frustrates me.

The most frustrating thing about Oregon State University is their class egistration system. I disagree with that fact that students with less credits have to register last because it is difficult for them to get into competetive classes that they need to graduate. Being restricted from registering term after term allows others students to get further ahead while others keep falling behind.

The most frustrating thing about Oregon State is the large majority of graduate students who are required to teach classes for undergraduate students. While these graduate students are usually quite intelligent and well spoken, it can be frustrating to take a class from someone who is clearly not an expert. When attending college and spending exoribitant amounts of money on tuition, it can be frustrating when you realize your instructor is a first year Ph.D. student who is still struggling to understand the stubject which they are teaching.
