I did learn a lot. The lecture classes are large but the harder classes like science and math have smaller groups were you get more attention and practice. The English classes are even capped to be under 20 students! It's an awesome set up they have going. It's a nice median between party school and study school. The Library is awesome, during midterms and finals the LIBRARY becomes the hang out spot.
Did enjoy being here
I greatly enjoyed being at this university! I plan on going back in the fall matter of fact! The campus is wonderful and beautiful. I felt like I was at home a week in. The people there are so happy and friendly and all the upperclassmen really do help you out and make you feel welcome. During welcome week there are a load of activities and they even have golf carts to take you to class if you get lost! Which is an awesome idea since the Oklahoma heat in September can be..overwhelming.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
5 stars! I don't even know how to put my emotions into words with this one. Let me just tell you, I ran out of money after my freshman year and had to go to a local community college. I've been knocking out credits and work my butt off to make money to get back to Norman. I do it because I miss it. I love the school so much I'm willing to do pretty much anything I can to get back there. I'm trying to show that out of state tuition whose boss!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
GO TO THE ACTIVITIES THEY HAVE SET UP FOR YOU!!! I HIGHLY recommend the camp they put on for incoming freshman the summer before entry. I found my two best friends at the Sooner session of the camp, made a lot of other friends, learned my way around the campus, and started to feel at home, not to mention had a BLAST! Howdy Week is their form of a welcome week. The activities here are so fun, the counselors are SUPER friendly and you learn a lot about college and the campus. Also, if you are having a hard time in a class there's tutoring available for EVER SINGLE class. If you need help, just look for it, its there.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The University of Oklahoma is a great school all around. If you're sporty then you already know their sport programs and how well they do. But, did you know about their gym and how fully stocked and open it is. I called it home my freshman year to keep off the dreaded 15. They also have a great intramural program. If your the gotta get a 4.0 type then you may be wary, think that OU is a party school. But, did you know that they admit the highest amount of national-merit scholars than any other 4 yr public university and they even have a freshman dorm for national merit scholars with quite time and visitor rules so that your studies are never interrupted. Even if you want a normal dorm, the whole top floor is separate study rooms open 24 hours with strict quite rules. Last but not least, if you're the partying type there is what seems an endless supply of sororities and fraternities that will supply your partying needs. There are also a lot of clubs and bars near by. Campus Corner will supply your bars, restaurants, and shopping needs.
If you are none of these in particular but rather a mix of them, then you can take advantage of it all.
Overall it has everything a student may need!
