Impressions of Stillwater from former Exchange Students
What can you expect from your time in Oklahoma? We asked past exchange students
what impression of Stillwater they would take with them when they left and how they
felt about returning home. Their comments can give you an idea of what is in store
for you! What will you write at the end of your stay?
Diversity & Hospitality
“Being in Stillwater was an amazing experience because I met a lot of people
that come from the whole world. Also the hospitality was great; I appreciate everything
that you did for me, for us. I'll never forget that experience. Thank you.”
– Alejandro, Mexico (Fall 2007)
Great friends
Things I will never forget: all my exchange friends, some of my American friends,
all parties, the weather, in short my life here!
– Charlotte, France (2002-2003)
Scenery
I like the campus in the spring season with the beautiful trees and sunshine.
-Hee Young, Korea (2003-2004)
Small college town
It’s not the most exciting place in the world but I met great people here.
I think that it is a big advantage that it is a small student town because you get
integrated faster.
-Hartmut, Germany (2002-2003)
Sunday night
My first Sunday in Stillwater – being out at night with some friends and the
bars are closed! Beside this, thousands of good memories, many new friends and a
strong relationship with the school.
– Uwe, Germany (2001-2002)
Confidence
A year in Stillwater did make me have confidence and experience many things
or works that I had never imagined.
– Na Jung, Korea (2001-2002)
