“Don't get me wrong, the education at Northern is top notchBrightBusiness - Management and Administration
Don't get me wrong, the education at Northern is top notch and hard to find in this part of the country. I will always maintain that the business college prepared me well for the real world.
That being said, the social life at this school can easily be compared to that of a high school isolated in the middle of a cornfield. Everyone knows pretty much everyone. And drama spreads fast in such a small group of people. The lack of diversity (racial as well as geographical) contributes to these factors.
It can be painfully boring on the weeknights when you have no school work. Ada is very small: two fast food restaurants, 2.5 bars (and one additional townie bar), and little in the way of shopping within an hour. I spent five years at ONU, played four years on a varsity athletics team, made some great friends, and got an excellent education. The downside being that you get the drama of a high school with nothing to do but hang out in the drama. Be advised that you have to make your own fun in Ada...or be prepared to study for fun.

“I love being a student here and feelBrightChemistry
I love being a student here and feel like being an ONU student is the best opportunity of my lifetime- and opening my life to new opportunities. I love Ada and wish I could spend more than 4 years here! The only negative point: Wal*Mart is a 20 minute drive away. . . VISIT CAMPUS! You will love how beautiful this place is!

“Going into my Junior year, and after havingBrightEducation
Going into my Junior year, and after having changed my major 3 times, I finally found where I fit at Northern. All of my professors were very supportive of me trying to find my perfect major. After I found it, the education department has been very helpful in making sure that i will get all of my classes in, so that I can graduate "on time".Advice would be to make sure you keep your grades up, those will come back to haunt you if you don't.
