If I had known then what I knowQuite BrightPsychology
If I had known then what I know now, I would have done my research and chosen another school. My diploma will forever be a reminder of the hazards of a life-altering choice made too quickly, and I can hardly wait to finish my bachelor's so I can transfer someplace else- nearly ANY place else- to get my masters' degree. Instructors aren't so bad, but administration is in a miserable state. I could site countless examples to prove the point, but why waste the webspace?

Question
I just finished my first semester at ODU.Super BrilliantMechanical Engineering
I just finished my first semester at ODU. I am officially a .5 Freshman! I am an out of state student. I chose ODU because for several reasons(Sports, Engineering,Diversity and Location). I am happy with my choice. I have met some genuine people and somer very arrogant people. Its life! Most of the students are from the seven cities of VA. Like Norfolk, Va Beach, Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton...yadada... There are lots of clubs and activites going on everyday. Sometimes I am so busy I miss a lot of the events I wanted to attend. Nofolf isnt Atlanta or nething but, you can find sometime to fill your balloon!

Question
Parking is atrocious for commuter students.Quite BrightArt & Design Department
Parking is atrocious for commuter students. Dorms don't feel safe since they have had several 'home invasions' on campus in the past couple of years and Norfolk has a high violent crime rate. Art department is so underfunded they often run out of printer paper and ink in the graphic art classes. Faculty is not bad, but getting administration to correct errors is like pulling teeth. And, it seems they've spent entirely many resources on the failed Maglev project.
