UMO did its job for me 47 years ago, kept me out of Vietnam. Liberal Arts education back then was so so . I hear it is much better now. Took my daughter there this last winter for a visit just to let her know what the school was about. Bring your woollies!!, it is a very cold and windy place in the late fall, winter and early spring. Good school for engineering and business, probably a much better school than it was all those years ago. Chow halls provide gourmet food compared to the offerings back in the early 70s. The campus life is full so do not worry that you are at the end of the long highway to the hinterlands that is 95. You can get an excellent cost effective education there but you will have to go after it, nobody will serve it to you on a platter.
The students here are great, there's a very strong culture. I enjoyed my experience here while it lasted. I would highly recommend this school! The only major pitfall is the location. Middle of no where is an understatement. Be sure to check out the gym! It's absolutely incredible.
Okay School I guess, I’m not enrolled here though. Generally dirty dorms and facilities (one ply toilet paper!). Some buildings feel dingy.
So let’s start with the location, middle of nowhere, if you go without a car, forget it. They advertise multiple activities across campus that are easy to find, however you have to know people to become a part of anything. The food is right up there with cafeteria high school food, not the best by far and very expensive if you don’t have a full dining plan. While the professors are great at what they do, the education is on par with any other state school you can find. The people who are welcoming at first really are not the best, had a buddy receive an harassment notice because he was talking about another student quietly in his own room. If you don’t mind outdated buildings, a clique-like school, mediocre food, and getting in trouble for nothing, then this is the place for you.
This is a big campus and back then, when I toured I was coming from a small town. I met some cool people right off, and it is a nice campus. I decided against going here but I had a nice time/good night when I was up there.
