College Prowler Take
Students gripe about workload and professors just like at any other university; they may also feel distant from their surroundings because they are in eternal flux, but in the end, graduates are more than content with the choices they’ve made. Old Dominion provides its students with so many opportunities to explore the world with study abroad programs, internship opportunities, and hands-on job experience that it is almost impossible for a student to fail in anything that they do—be it academic, athletic, or social. Old Dominion can simply be an institution for education, but most of the student body does not treat it as that.
Overall, there are a lot of changes going on at Old Dominion University. The school is currently transitioning from a commuter school to a residential campus, meaning there is constant construction and landscape work. At the same time, the school is searching for a new president to replace the old one, Roseann Runte. That being said, ODU is an exciting school to attend. There is always something going on somewhere, and it is a range of diverse activities. ODU is among the most ethnically diverse schools in Virginia. With 23000 students and more than 200 student organizations, it is possible to have many different college experiences; it really depends on the one you make. Students Speak Out

My problem with Old Dominion is...
My problem with Old Dominion is that they are doing so much construction. And they keep saying things like ‘as Old Dominion grows.’ Sometimes I hate being part of a University that is still growing. It hasn’t been around for that long, and so I feel as if after I’ve graduated the University I once went to won’t be here—it’ll have been replaced by newer and better buildings. And a lot of times, I don’t get the feeling that this is a campus, but rather one huge construction zone. There are always red cones everywhere. If they could hurry up and finish all that stuff, it would be so much better. |

I love it here at Old Dominion....
I love it here at Old Dominion. It’s really difficult at times, mostly because of the fact that I have to balance having a job and my course load. But I manage. I’d say that my favorite part of ODU is that the professors here are so great, and the people aren’t snobby or pretentious or self-indulgent. If you have a question, you can easily turn to your neighbor in class and ask. That isn’t to say that there are no rude people here—but I’ve only run into a couple. |

A lot of times ODU gets a bad rap...
A lot of times ODU gets a bad rap because it’s still a growing school. It’s young. It has a lot of evolving to do, and so some people turn a nose up at it. I love this school, though, and I am glad to attend. It’s fun growing as a person along with the school and looking back and saying, ‘Oh, I remember when . . .’ |

I enjoy this school a lot. I think it has a lot to offer, and the surrounding area is wonderful as well. I am happy to be here. |

I love how ODU is constantly...
I love how ODU is constantly getting additions. It makes me excited about my learning experience here.It’s not like there are a bunch of buildings that serve their purpose and that’s all. Science buildings keep getting added, parking garages, strips of malls, the Batten Arts and Letters building is getting redone. It’s great. When I graduate, I’ll be able to look back at ODU and be not only reminiscent but proud of my University. |
