Campus Life

College is about more than just hitting the books and making the grade, it’s about the experience. It’s about the journey that we take to discovery and the adventure along the way.

At Oakland University, we want you to remember your experience. We want you to create lifelong memories as both a gateway to your past and an ode to your future. We want you to discover your passion and to pursue your dreams. We want to guide you as you transform into who you really want to be.

Through more than three hundred student organizations, seventeen fraternities and sororities, eighteen NCAA Division One athletic programs and an endless stream of campus events, we create an environment where you can thrive. No matter who you are, where you’re from or what you want, you will find exactly what inspires you at OU. Here you will find the desire for success and the determination to succeed.

Situated just outside of downtown Detroit in the heart of Rochester and Auburn Hills, we create a campus life dedicated to your experience. We create a space for our twenty thousand students to grow, experience and succeed. We create opportunities – educational, cultural, recreational and social – all for you. This is OU. Welcome home.
