Rogers State University (RSU) is a public institution that was founded in 1909. The university offers associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees with some of the most popular majors being Business, Accounting, Game Development, Biology and Graphic Design – within top 10 fastest growing industry employments in Oklahoma. Moreover, RSU is not only accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, but also by Commission for Education in Nursing, Commission on Accreditation of the Allied health Education Program. The institution praises itself for the ‘modern state-of-the-art facilities’, providing students with the best environment possible to learn and work in. RSU also assigns advisors for every field of study, representing academic advising service that aims to assist students with any related issues.
Furthermore, students who choose to live on campus can be assured that they are currently living in top 4 best college dorms in Oklahoma. Student apartments are divided into 3 areas – University Village A, University Village B and University Village C, to accommodate different needs of all students with prices vary between complex and unit type. The struggle is real for students, especially freshmen, to work out what to bring with them. Therefore, RSU has provided a list of items in accordance with each complex to help out with this matter. The cost of living on campus is around $9,900 yearly, yet this has already saved approximately $2,000 for students on other expenses in comparison with living off campus, according to National Center for Education Statistics. Also, the university has its own police department – namely RSUPD, ensuring the safety for everyone on campus.
In addition, the institution does offer career services for its students. There is an employment online portal for students to log in and apply for any desired ‘student worker positions’ available on campus at the point. For part- and full-time employment opportunities off campus, students can utilize another online portal which connects them directly to different employers – who prioritize hiring RSU students. This website also allows them to upload their CVs, speeding up the process and hence, it increases the chance of getting accepted to big companies.
To enhance physical interaction, RSU hosts career fairs as an offline channel for students to meet with employers face-to-face and explore every possible opportunity of potential jobs. The university also runs multiple workshops to assist students in writing resumes and cover letters, as well as practice interviewing techniques. They even schedule a mock interview for those who register and book an appointment in advance – helping students to be more mentally prepared for real interviews.
Despite being one of the fastest growing states in America, the cost of living in Oklahoma is rather sensible. Students with scholarships or have registered at IMRT can save even more on general expenses, considering taxes are relatively low as well. Moreover, all students will be issued a Hillcat Card each, and this acts as their student ID cards. By presenting this to off-campus merchants, students will receive certain discounts/offers when shopping. RSU also has The Student Health Center to provide health care and ensure wellness of all students. The service can be booked online with a chosen timeslot or it can be arranged offline just by walking in the center on the day. Additionally, RSU students will get a chance to have a free flu shot – playing a vital role in flu prevention. With other injections and medicines, please refer to the university website for nominal fees.
Regarding the transportation, travellers are welcomed to book flights from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) to Tulsa International Airport – which only takes 35 minutes by car to RSU. These flights cost roughly $1000 for return ticket, and around $600 for a one-way ticket. However, you can definitely save far more by booking flight tickets earlier, seeking cheaper prices.
Even though Oklahoma is filled with history, heritages and local culture, but it is also diverse and so, welcoming international students with the friendliest greeting. With approximately 40 student organizations, freshmen are expected to have plenty of opportunities to make new friends and try fitting in different groups.
In the upcoming days, there will be 10 scholarships which carry up to 70% of the tuition fee for highly potential students with excellent academic records to win.
