Question: What do you think of this school?Southwestern Oklahoma State University www.swosu.edu/ My brother is attending this school...I was wondering what you opinions of the school. I am embarrased of him going to this school no one has heard of the school before. Does it really matter if the school is not really nationally known?25 months ago
Best AnswerNationally known schools are primarily the ones that are larger and most have football or basketball teams that get recognition for them. Smaller schools don't have those advantages. However, they have their own set of advantages. The faculty/student ratio is better, the class size is smaller, you can usually get more help when you need it, it's easier to meet people, the faculty is more involved in the lives of the student body, and much more. There's no reason to be embarrased by a smaller college. Oklahoma has two large, nationally known universities (as you probably already know); University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. But look at the link for a list of schools. Most aren't nationally known. They outnumber the two major universities you probably wish your brother would attend. Not everyone feels comfortable going to one of those larger schools. Apparently your brother is such a person. There is absolutely no reason to be embarrased. You should be proud of him for being in college and working to get his degree. |
