Sara - 07/11/2019

OPSU is an awesome college!! The Noble Center is always available for students and faculty and the culture is one of the best I have ever experienced. It's a smaller school, so the class sizes are not as crowded as they would be in a larger college, and the professors are great people!

Austyn - 02/18/2019

Oklahoma Panhandle State University is a great college for anyone who loves living in small towns and likes having small class sizes. There are not many things to do in the small town, but a few hours away there are several. Professors are always available to the students. Students understand their work for the most part. This university is a very well kept and a great place to get an education.

Jacob - 12/11/2018

My overall opinion of Oklahoma Panhandle State University is that it is an okay school. If you want a bunch of thugs around and places to party and drink almost every night of the week thats your place. It does have decent degree , that can and most likely will get you a job out of college. Most of all if you want to live in the middle of nowhere with absolutely nothing to do, Panhandle is your place.

Luis - 09/01/2018

It’s a great place to expand your knowledge and it’s also a place you can call home because the teachers work with you one on one and they let you know that there’s always another way to succeed in college and life in top of that students seem to get along with everyone it’s a really friendly environment.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Advice that I would give to parents and/or students when searching for the right college and making the most of the college experience is first and foremost, never forget who you are and where you've come from. Every senior in high school can't wait to leave home and begin a new chapter in their life, but it's important to remember the people in your life that love you are that they will be there to support you through your college experience even when it gets the hardest. Other things to be taken into consideration are the interests of the student, as far as population of the school/university, the academic areas offered and/or emphasized in that school, the weather and climate of the area, and not to mention the affordability. I feel that Oklahoma Panhandle State University is a well-diversified 4-year university that holds a great amount of academic options to the students, no matter what their age, and it is reasonably affordable to attend. Just make sure you can handle the "Panhandle" weather!
