If you are a student, former student, faculty member or parent, please help guide other prospective students by sharing your personal experiences at this college. What is it really like to go to Old Dominion University?
Does not really have a lot of school pride or great atmosphere, seems like for most students it was not their first choice, but they are here because it is one of the cheaper universities. A lot of programs fly under the radar, it sneaks up that it is a D1 school for sports or Research 1 level institution, and they are merging with a medical school. Depending on the department some of them are fantastic but others are just average. ODU has a lot of programs that are not covered at other universities in Virginia, like Recreational Therapy and Nuclear Medicine.
