Categories Comments Great for these types of students Dedicated students will enjoy this environment. This isn't a party school, and people should be prepared for a rural surrounding. If you need an environment that will help you keep focused, this is the college to look into.
Tips for prospective students If you're looking for a party college, just look the other way.
Bang for the buck Just look at the rate of job placement. It's crazy high! It's about the same cost of OSU or U of O, and it has far better job placement. This college will ready you for the future and won't bankrupt you in the process.
Am enjoying being here At first, I wasn't too thrilled about the surrounding town. Klamath Falls, Oregon is a rural town, which harbors few entertaining venues. As I continued to live there though, I realized that happiness assured by the town you live in, but the friends that you have there. I am happy because I have met some of the best people in my life there. If only we had some better places to spend our weekends...
Am learning a lot There is an extensive amount of information being taught at Oregon Institute of Technology, and excellent professors that are extremely willing to help you learn it. Since this college is on the smaller side, the professors know you by your name and are committed to teaching you as best they can.

Categories Comments Campus Safety the campus safety at oregon tech is extremely friendly and nice. they do their job and they do it well.
What to do for fun in klamath falls there are many things to do, not to mention all of the campus activities and the family fun center downtown.
Food and Dining a new company has taken over oit called sodexo the past year, but the food is outstanding for any mood you have. they have 4 restaurants and subway next door.
Dorm Life oit has the best dorms around. they are extremely cheap and insanely new and nice. there is many dorm activities constantly going on and if you are in the residence hall you will definitely make some new friends.
Academic Rigor oit has a very hands on approach with teaching, so while the classes may be difficult to some, you actually take knowledge out of what you are being taught.
Tips for prospective students check out all your resources at oit, there is always help when you need it. also, know what feild of study your going into before you apply.
In three sentences oit is a great school because of the one-on-one help you get from the teachers. they are very engaged and flexible to work with you, not to mention small class sizes. it also helps that oit is very cost-effective.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities as i mentioned earlier, there are so many different clubs on campus that there is always some event going on.
Bang for the buck oit may be slightly more expensive than a regular state school, but they have a great reputation.
What to do for fun there are so many different clubs at oit that i wish i had more time each week! there is always something going on campus.
Food and Dining there isn't much to choose from on campus. there are a few different places to get coffee, though, which is good enough for me.
Dorm Life i haven't lived on campus so i can't really say anything about dorm life.
Academic Rigor there are lectures that are coupled with labs in most majors at oit. be sure to pay attention in lectures to easily do the labs.
Tips for prospective students if you intend to go to oit make sure you are ready to study and ask questions when you don't understand something. when you ask questions then the professors will recognize you and be more willing to help. the campus is beautiful, but drier than i thought it would be.
In three sentences oit requires a lot of hard work, but it is so much fun. there is so much hands-on learning! all of the professors are very helpful.

Categories Comments Greek Life Alpha Sigma Alpha and Phi Delta Theta are the only Greek-life organizations on campus.
Great for these types of students If you have the inner nerd/geek.
Bang for the buck Definitely worth it here.
What to do for fun Outdoor stuff, Basketball Games,
Food and Dining Not the best in the world, but it is food.
Dorm Life Living in the Castle (residence hall) was a blast. Living the in the Village however, take a bit more effort if you want to meet people.
Academic Rigor Short, 10 week terms with a lot of content in those terms. Time management is key to survive in this school.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you know what you want to do before applying here. Might be good to go community college to get some general education pre-reqs out of the way.
In three sentences So long as you know what you want to do, this is a good school to advance you further into that area of education. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to consider another school.

Tips for prospective students Don't be afraid to get involved and make new friends
Bang for the buck It was excellent for me because I live at home and am just completing my generals before I transfer to a bigger school.
Am enjoying being here I grew up in this town and never realized what a gem we have here. The campus is great. Everyone is very friendly. And this school could give plenty of others a run for their money as far as advancements in every department.
Am learning a lot The teachers are great. Very nice, hands on, and always willing to help.

Categories Comments Food and Dining If you are willing to look you can either find great food, or the materials to make it yourself. Go wild!

Categories Comments Tips for prospective students Do not change majors you will find yourself set back a whole year
Bang for the buck If you have to pay regular tuition it is not worth going to this school because it will become to expensive per term
Am enjoying being here There is nothing to do at Klamath Falls besides drink.
Am learning a lot The information technology field is not stable right now but it is better than it was 3 years ago. I think this field will filter out all the bad teachers within a 2-3 year time.

Categories Comments Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a batting cage on campus, but its on the opposite side of campus from the athletic building, in the basement of a civil engineering building! How crazy is that!?

Academic Rigor OIT is extremely challenging, but if the effort is put into the class and you ask for help, the help will be provided.
Tips for prospective students Don't try to decided right away what you want to do with the rest of your life. Take a few random classes you are interested in your first term or two to discover your calling in life. Also, try something new and out of your comfort zone right away.
In three sentences I love this school. This is my third college and OIT is extremely helpful and I am so glad I transferred to OIT because I was actually considered to be a student, a person, and not just another number, or payment plan.
