The University of Tulsa is very academic based; curriculums require students to take the maximum amount of hours almost every semester. Despite the time commitment that this brings, the student association constantly has intriguing events to offer. Overall, Tulsa is an extremely well-rounded university.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply early and be aggressive about scholarships. TU has plenty to offer!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes at TU are very challenging but not impossible. I've left every class feeling like I learned something I didn't know and something that I would actually use in the future. Almost every class is time consuming and difficult but the professors grade very fairly. If you work hard, you will do well.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The freshman dorm experience is awesome, there are interesting activities offered on a weekly basis. The lobbies of this dorm are constantly filled with students playing board games, watching movies, or talking.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The dining hall is decent, the food isn't terrible. There is one on campus restaurant with good food, and several fast food places.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The faculty at TU do a great job at planning student activities that people will actually go to. Every event I've attended has been worthwhile.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
TU is expensive in comparison to a state school, but the education is much more valuable. More than half the student body has some form of scholarship from TU, and quite a few students have full scholarships. Because of the connections TU has, it is easy to get an internship even as a freshman. Some internships pay as much as an entire semester of tuition, making it definitely worth it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
International students (huge part of the student body), people with a desire for leadership
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life makes up a large portion of the student body. The sororities and fraternities are very engaging, not just with each other but also with non-Greek students. The houses have philanthropy events and parties that anyone is welcome to attend.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
TU is in a somewhat dangerous part of town but there are as many campus security guards as students.
