Old Dominion University (ODU) is a public research university in Norfolk, Virginia, known for strong programs in cybersecurity, engineering, computer science, business, nursing, and the liberal arts plus a diverse, mid‑size campus and Division I athletics. Students often rave about the waterfront‑area setting, many clubs and organizations, opportunities tied to the Hampton Roads military and port industry, and an accessible, student‑friendly campus vibe.

“I love ODU’s coastal‑city vibe, how many clubs and organizations make it easy to plug into campus life, and how close it is to Norfolk’s Navy and port opportunities, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the strong commuter feel, some older housing, and the fact that the campus energy can thin out after classes were all things that felt more real once I stopped visiting and started living there.”
