    #159 Best Colleges in America

    Alum : Very, very challenging at times but take pride in knowing everyone else is in the trenches with you. Best engineering programs in the state, hands down. Classmates range like everywhere else, but I made very strong and lasting relationships! The town and campus are very small, but safe and allow for many outdoor activities; decent weather all year. The biggest selling point is the reputation, almost guaranteed internship while in school, even one on campus allowed me to work out of state and on patent pending technologies. Most important, I passed my FE, became EIT and secured a job in San Diego within a month of leaving, DEBT FREE!

    Alum : OSU has about 25,0000 students, but it is in a small town and has a family-like atmosphere! They have incredible donor support with most of the buildings updated or in the process of being updated, and the university is committed to providing a quality education for its students. As an Agriculture and Engineering land grant school in the Midwest, they are dedicated to research and there are ample undergraduate research opportunities available. In addition, there are over 200 student organizations to get involved in, and free student resources are available for everyone. The population is diverse, with over 100 nationalities represented on campus, and there are plenty of campus activities for students to partake. OSU does a great job of developing young people into adults with a well rounded education and college experience, and I loved every minute of my time in Stillwater.
