Review of University of Central Oklahoma

from Oklahoma City, OK

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I have definitely learned a lot about the University of Central Oklahoma, ranging in all aspects of my life. Most importantly, I have learned to communicate better with people from different backgrounds and cultures. Also, intellectually, I have matured as well.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love my time spent at UCO; from the classroom, to the city, there's always an inviting atmosphere. Many of the classes most students take are rather small in comparison to OU or OSU. In addition, the ambience of Edmond is friendly and slow-paced, a great place to explore and study.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The biggest bang for your buck at UCO is the experience you take away from it. Some of my favorite memories are the football games I performed at, or the campus-wide events that my group would attend. There's never a dull moment on campus if you take the time to talk with the people you meet.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Live on campus your first year. is the biggest advice I could give a prospective student. Suggest you get a private room with a locking door. Living on campus allows one to become accustomed to the university quickly, as well as introduces you to a large number of could be life-long friends. Parking isn't easy to find for students living on campus or for commuter students. That's an adjustment.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

The University of Central Oklahoma is ideal for any students. It provides a challenging, yet not overly demanding coursework. Additionally, it has an inviting campus vibe with a multitude of amenities.
