OU professors really teach you to think for yourself, especially your English professors. OU professor also teach you different research skills. You really do have to study a lot to make the grade but it is worth it. There are so many diverse programs at OU that I am sure that you will be able to find the right program for you.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love being at OU and I am sure that you will too. There are activities every week at OU. They have free movies every Friday in the Meacham Auditorium in the Student Union, for ex: I saw Get Smart there and they also showed the Dark Knight. The sound for the movies will blow your mind. They also do things like have Make a Necklace or Pot A Plant almost everyday in the Union. There are always club activities going on at OU. The way that you find out about most activities is to read the sidewalks. Yeah, I said it. I don't know who does it but, someone writes the activities on the sidewalk in chalk (some people call it chalking) so as your walking you can look down and see whats happening. They also have things like Howdy Week and when your first week there they have so many activities and sometimes you get free lunch. Also, in the cafeteria (we call it the cafe) which is also Couch Restaurants they have special meals for the holidays and stuff where they make the cafe look all pretty and nice and serve some exotic foods. Once they had caviar, I personally thought it was disgusting but you just might like it. Also, I love the recycling system that OU has. Everywhere you go there are recycle bins- you absolutely cannot miss them. So if you are environmentally conscious OU will help. Also, it does help that the Campus is beautiful and has a great Library. It is simply amazing.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For me, OU is definitely worth it. Of Course, in-state tuition is lower than out-of-state tuition but its still worth it. I am so glad that I came here. I really didn't have a full plan for college. I just sort-of applied for this college and OSU and just went for OU to be going for it. Then, when I got here I was blown away. I am so glad that I chose OU simply for the fact that the people there are awesome and OU is just plain awesome.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
**Learn your study skills now, trust me it will help. You have to study smart to make the grade.
**Make a plan that will help you keep from procrastinating.
**Try to move into your dorm at least two weeks or a week-and-half before school. Don't wait the day before class to move in or you wont know where to go.
**A college tour is helpful
**When you know what your classes are, go at least two or three days before class begins and walk around campus to find your classes, how long it will take you to get to them, and to learn the lay of the land. Trust me this helped me tremendously. Do this at least twice. .
**Try to find the quickest way to get to your classes.
**Make sure you know where the library is and the open/close time. I think it closes at 2 a.m. some days.
**Make sure you know where the Bursar Office is.
**You should acquire a bank account.
**Make sure you learn how to take the bus around campus. You have to get a sticker on the back of your ID card to be able to ride for free. Make sure to get a bus schedule and find out where the bus office is. Some buses like the Lloyd Noble Shuttle are free for everyone
**Make sure you know where the housing office is(Walker Tower, 1st Floor) and where the bathrooms and laundry rooms are located in the dorms.
**Explore all the dorms. There is a kitchen somewhere in Couch. I think 2nd or 3rd floor.
**Walker-Adams Mall is between the space between the Walker and Adams dorms.
**Make sure you learn your streets and how to get to Walmart.
**Make sure you know where all the major offices are and where the restaurants around campus are.
**Make sure you know about the apartment buildings policies and prices before you move in.
**Also, know that move in day is crazy. Depending on when you move in, there are going to be so people on move-in day so make sure you aren't claustrophobic.
**Make sure you know where the campus stores are so that you will know where to get your books.
**Make sure you lea...
