Learni to lead "FACULTY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN ACADEMICS AT OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY. We have more than 200 degree options supported by passionate and experienced faculty. It's really cool when a professor kicks off a Monday lecture by recapping an international conference where he was the keynote speaker. My professors challenge me to apply my classroom education to real-world situations, so I know I'll be ready for my first real job. They're available for a quick question or to give advice about an internship. I know I'll leave OSU with a quality education and mentors who will always be there for me." — Justin Yearwood

HEAD OF THE CLASS “THE OSU HONORS COLLEGE does not necessarily offer a more difficult academic path, but IT CHALLENGES YOU IN A DIFFERENT WAY. My involvement in The Honors College has greatly impacted my college experience; I have had SMALLER, DISCUSSION-BASED CLASSES,
EXCITING RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES AND A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM MY HONORS ADVISER. My Honors College classmates are just as academically driven and goal-oriented as I am, so it has been a stimulating experience to share classes with them throughout my time at Oklahoma State.”

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING IN GALLAGHER-IBA ARENA OR BOONE PICKENS STADIUM WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER STUDENTS CHEERING ON THE COWBOYS AND HAVING A BLAST! I also love that we have the most national championships in the Big l2 Conference. MOST ATHLETIC EVENTS
ARE FREE TO STUDENTS WITH YOUR STUDENT ID, so it's easy to be part of OSU's winning traditions." — Megan Brooks

THERE IS ALWAYS A FRIEND IN THE LOUNGE OR DOWN THE HALL READY TO STUDY OR HANG OUT. Campus dining provides a convenient way to meet and eat with friends, or grab something quick on the way to class.

IT'S KIND OF A
“From America’s Greatest Homecoming
Celebration to Pistol Pete and the Waving Wheat at football games, OSU has many traditions that make it stand out from any other school in the nation. HOMECOMING IS AN
ENORMOUS DISPLAY OF THE PASSION OF STUDENTS AND ALUMNI ALIKE. With events like Walkaround, the Harvest Carnival and the parade, homecoming is a weeklong celebration of Oklahoma State University and the Cowboy Nation.” — Jeffrey Hendrickson Physiology
BOREDOM IS AN OPTION
"WHEN I CAME TO COLLEGE, I WAS SHY, but my campus involvement helped me break out of that shell. Once you find a place to get involved, it’s almost impossible to quit there. One opportunity almost always leads to another. WITH MORE THAN 450 CLUBS
AND ORGANIZATIONS ON CAMPUS, IT IS EASY TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO GET INVOLVED. I have made some of my best friends through activities on campus, proving that education and friendship are what a college experience is all about." — Scott BlankenshIp
