Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Biology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright I am from North Va. I had my Associates, which made it really easy to get in. I had a 2.1 from community college. Most of the friends I've made at ODU are in the same situation I am in, which is we are stuck here. Others don't have the money to go anywhere else which is why they're complaining. ODU science department is alright. Their chemistry is horrible. I've meet a lot of people and reconnected with friends. I ignore the parties because most seem to be busted by cops. My main concern is doing as well as I can so I can get into a good graduate school. For those who say ODU is hard to get into, you're wrong. ODU Radford and Marymount are the 3 easiest colleges to get into. All require a 3.0 to get into. Most of my friends who got in had between a 2.6 and a 3.0 from high school. For those who say ODU sucks, then do well here so you can transfer out. Go to community college and community colleges aren't as bad as people make them to be. I had teachers who use to teach a 4 year schools or actually had real world experience. My gpa at ODU is a 3.2. This will allow me to transfer to another college if I felt like it. Have a Question?

First why would school officials waste their time on a site like this? Secondly, so everyone here at ODU should write a negative comment because YOU hated it here? Apparently the world revolves around your happiness. Here's a real review no I am not a school official. I live on 42nd street here at ODU (I would say my house to be more legitimate and to insure that I am in fact a student, but I wouldn't want the people who write negative comments come to my house and try to harm me for it).Back to the reason this site is intended. ODU is a great university and I have had no problems here. People saying they got in with 1.0 GPA's...Honestly it is not that easy I know people who did not get in with close to a 3.0. Kids around the Hampton Roads area look at ODU negatively because it has been around them all there life and not going to a University farther away is frowned upon. I myself live close to George Mason University and kids around the area feel the same way although it is a great school. I enjoy ODU and I know plenty of people who feel that same way. The parties are good and even students from CNU come here to party. Get involved in Greek life and you will always have people around you who will help you. If you don?t go Greek you will still find students that you can relate to. You will get a job after college and have had fun along that way. That is what college is all about getting a job.

I transferred in from community college and they do not spoon feed you. Many of these teachers work for the four years colleges. I had a teacher at ODU who taught at the community college and ODU. The science teachers at odu are more concerned with money that teaching Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I got in and I slacked off all through high school. I did not even bother with the SATs. I should of worked harder so I could of gotten into another college right of high school. I did well enough here so I can go somewhere else. You can slack off here and many teachers will still pass you. There are a few classes like chemistry that you'll have to work hard for. My Biology and computer science classes were easy as hell to pass. Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
