Odisee University College (reviews)

The way Odisee University College teaches is usually based on projects and assignments. it is very engaging and keeps students active. Odisee University College’s ranking is low but it deserves better. because it is an applied university, students generally feel more ready for business life.

Odisee campus is what I liked a lot about the college. Also, the lecturers were also very helpful. The program that I am studying, I am enjoying. The location of the campus is great it’s right in the centre of Brussels.

I am doing an Erasmus at the Odisee college, this college is a great place to be an international student. Everyone speaks English and all the classes are thought in English. The college is easily accessible and it is very easy to be a new student there.

Odisee has a friendly staff, and professional teachers. The location of the campus is extremely nice. It is located very close to the centre of Brussels. Many good restaurants surround the campus, tho I feel it’s a bit expensive in that area.

What I liked: Professor were easily accessible to students when there is a problem. Regular sessions with student representatives to discuss students’ challenges. Extra support for international students. Student life is fun. What I didn’t like was the regular unpaid internship.

What’s interesting about college life in Odisee was on the first year you tend to feel overwhelmed by the amount of work you need to put in. Professors will constantly keep you on your toes keeping you busy with papers, reviews, and analysis. This can often lead to students disliking going to class or even the teachers. But by the 2nd year everything relaxes, they assign you to groups and expect you to operate more independently. I realised then that the school sets you up for success not by giving you materials and exams you need to pass, but by training you and giving you the mindset needed to understand problems and forming creative efficient solutions.

Life on campus gives a sense of freedom. Instead of a direct line to graduation, you’re given multiple options on how you want to go about your studies so you can choose the way that fulfils you as a future entrepreneur. That’s the key difference that makes Odisee exceptional, they teach you to be entrepreneurs, not just employees.

I would like to start off by saying I used to study in KU Leuven, specifically, Business administration. I was so frustrated in not fully understanding the concepts, teachers not explaining things properly and not being interactive enough which is a must for me since I have ADHD, the more interaction a teacher provides, the better I understand the content. Oddisee teachers not only interact with their teachers in each and every class, they care for their students, for example, one of our teachers thought something was off with a friend and they asked about their well being. If given the choice between understanding and hands-on experience or just sitting and reading a book all the time I’d choose the first.
