Chances are many of the other negative reviews are by people who were forced to come here or didn't have the grades to go anywhere else. Now the people who were able to choose to come here well, good for you. Most of us don't have options or we have few options. I had 2 colleges to choose from.

I only came to ODU because my other was Radford. I got in with a 2.6 and a 900 SAT score. I transferred to the community college because I want to go to another college.

I did enjoy ODU but well fist off it's located in a hellhole. Secondly, ODU is seriously understaffed and many other colleges don't have that issue.

Many people like me have transferred out of ODU and will tell you that other colleges are better academically than ODU. I know many people who transferred out and are a lot happier. ODU is trashy compared to many other colleges.

If ODU wants to improve then they need to get the hell out of Norfolk. My friend was attacked on campus and was put in the hospital. That kind of thing happens weekly but no one wants to admit to it.

ODU has a good Bio and engineering department but it's no Va Tech. If you can go to UVA, William and Mary, or Va Tech then go, They get a lot more funding than ODU. They have more things you can do.

I'm happier since I've transferred out. The teaching at the community college is a hell of a lot better. The majority of people who got out of ODU are happier at the colleges they transferred to.
