Oklahoma State University is the easiest college campus to fall in love with. Whether it's the well manicured campus or the welcoming people who first greet you, every experience with OSU is a good one. There are so many things to love about OSU. but here is a short list that sums up why Oklahoma State really is the best university around.
1. The people
There is one thing that is undeniable about OSU and it’s how friendly everyone is. They make you feel at home because they treat you like family.
2. The scenery
OSU has one of the most beautiful campuses of any college. And while we are biased, there just isn’t anything prettier than the neatly trimmed flowers, seas of green grass, and the uniform buildings. And not only that, we also have the world's largest student union!
3. The town
Stillwater is the perfect college town. It’s just the right size, but more importantly, the town bleeds orange and black. OSU flags are flown at almost any place you go and stickers on the cars. Not to mention it’s right between the two major cities of Oklahoma.
4. The sports
There is a buzz through the whole town the night before any game. From football to basketball to baseball and all the sports in-between, everyone loves games day. Especially when you’re football team is 8-0!
5. The Joe’s
If there is one thing that everyone knows about Stillwater, it’s that we have Eskimo Joe’s. Far and wide, people know Eskimo Joe’s. For decades, Joe’s has been a pinnacle point of the town.
6. The community
There is no community more close knit than the Cowboy family. I’ve never seen a community come together like the homecoming weekend after such a tragedy struck during what was supposed to be a happy time. The love and strength seen in the whole town was something you won’t find anywhere else.
7. The alumni
You may graduate, but you never leave OSU. Alumni are such a big part of the school between supporting the athletics teams or helping expand the campus by donating. Alumni hold a special place at OSU. Not to mention all the famous names that have come from Oklahoma State.
8. The academics
OSU offers a major in just about anything you could want and there is an amazing department behind it. Engineering is what everyone immediately thinks of, but OSU has so much to offer in the academics. Including a sports media major that is only offered at one other university!
9. The homecoming
We at OSU pride ourselves in having America’s Biggest Homecoming. The decks are something that you have to see to believe. The homecoming parade is also a special part of the celebrations for the game. And through such a terrible tragedy, we remain loyal and true to our orange and black.
10. Pistol Pete
If there is one thing OSU loves as much as the school itself, it’s Pistol Pete. The icon for the school that everyone recognizes. We all have him on t-shirts, coffee mugs, car decals, and so much more.
