Favorite thing about living on campus? Opportunity to meet individuals that I otherwise would not.
Favorite thing about OSU dining? My favorite dining venue is the Rancher's Club; top-quality beef and a cowboy hat display--what more could you want?

Name Blake Fraley
Degree Management of Information Systems, Marketing
Home Town Bixby, OK
Favorite thing about living on campus? My favorite thing about living on campus is developing lifelong friendships with the people in my halls. I have always lived with a roommate (and always will) because I enjoy continuing to develop social skills. I like the idea of coming to OSU without knowing anybody at the greatest university in the U.S. and already having a friendÑmy roommate!
Favorite thing about OSU dining? My parents would come up to visit me and ensure that my grades are superior. I would take them to eat at either The Rancher's Club, inside the Student Union, or Taylor's Dining, inside the Human Environmental Sciences building. I enjoy Hotel Restaurant Administration students dressing up professionally and waiting or serving us. We would order something from Rib-Eye steak to quail. I would tell them towards the end of the meal, "Mom, Dad, you both have supported me for over 18 years of my life. Why don't you let me get this ticket?" So the waiter/waitress takes my OSU ID, I MEAL PLAN the 4-star dinner we just had and we leave. On the way home, my parents realize that I paid for our exquisite dinner with the money they provided for me!
Favorite on campus program? The First Annual Booker Table Tennis Tournament. My 2nd roommate, Braden, and I both created a very successful hall government program. We created a bracket, fliers, and even supplied food, drinks, and equipment for the tournament. I designed t-shirts for the 17 people that participated in the program. Braden and I made it to the championship, and although he usually beats me, I beat him in the finals! Become involved with Hall Government, and you'll get to decide how your floor funds are allocated.

Favorite thing about OSU dining? Undoubtedly, Twenty Something's late hours. Twenty Something is like a convenient store in one of the residence halls and I can't even tell you how many times that place has helped me stay up all night studying.
Favorite on campus program? My freshman year we had so many random floor dinners and movies where we would just go up and down knocking on doors until we had a big group. We would then all go to one of the many places to eat on campus and come back and watch a movie in the floor lounge or get big study groups together. That experience allowed me to meet so many people and really helps you break out of your shell as a quiet freshman.

Favorite thing about OSU dining? My favorite aspect of Dining, is the salad bar at the Retro Burger. I personally love making big chef salads and the salad bar at the Retro burger is always fresh and offers a lot of variety in terms, of items offered for salads and then also several fruit salads. I also love the fact that the sald bar is offered as an option rather than receiving fries with your meal at no extra cost.
Favorite on campus program? My favorite on-campus program would have to be intermurals. I personally really enjoy sports, I just don't happen to be athletically skilled enough to play on any University teams and intermurals offer a great way for me to play sports with some of my on-campus friends, without being super competitive.
