Old Dominion University's main campus is located in the city of Norfolk, in the metropolitan Hampton Roads region of southeast Virginia.
Take a Look Around ODU's Campus





Spirit Friday! It started as a word-of-mouth event and became an official tradition: all members of the University community--on or off-campus--wear school colors or ODU apparel every Friday.
ODU has graduated over 165,000 alumni who now live in all 50 states and 52 different countries!
Sixteen cities make up the Hampton Roads area of coastal Virginia, providing rich resources for research and community engagement.
Legend has it that you should never walk across the university seal located on Kaufman Mall, or you'll never graduate from ODU. So new graduates cross the seal as part of commencement!
