Throughout high school I was never challenged but as soon as I came to OU that all changed. The professors have been pretty good for the most part and they have challenged me to think critically which is a lost art in our society today.

    Oakland University is a nice place and all the buildings are close together so you do not have to walk for long periods of time. Lately they have been doing a lot of improvements that are making the college look better. I would probably rate Oakland University a 6.9 out of 10.

    Oakland University is a very fun, healthy place to be. The campus is beautiful and peaceful, the staff and students are very friendly and open, and the different academic and extracurricular opportunities are fantastic. I not only learned a great deal inside the classroom, but outside the classroom as well, and that made my college experience a lot more enjoyable.

    Overall, a decent school. Feels a bit like high school on a bigger stage unless you live on campus. Not very much to do on campus though and the surrounding city is more family oriented.

    Oakland University is a very friendly environment and keeps the students at ease. Attending the college, one will feel comfortable and enjoy themselves while attending the many events. And if you are struggling with your classes, they even provide tutoring and other resources to help you keep up with the class.

    Oakland is a great school where it provides the resources and environment for good learning in a commuter area. With it being a relatively small school it allows for more students to be recognized and to engage in relationships with professors. Oakland also offers a diverse number of activities for students to be involved in to make the college experience one of the best.
