University of Oklahoma

Pros: Low tuition, beautiful campus, feel of a small college at a big university!
Cons: High fees! Honors classes aren't always the best idea

I am a Freshman (just completed Fall semester) who absolutely LOVES the University of Oklahoma! Admissions: You get automatic admission if you have a certain GPA and SAT or ACT score-very nice! If you meet the requirements, you get your acceptance ...

Pros: Easy access to classes, food, services
Cons: Expensive, isolating, no kitchen facilities

A previous review stated that the Cate & Honors dorms do not have air-conditioning. In fact, most of Cate and all of the Honors House is air-conditioned. Also, I'm not quite sure if the Honors House has windows that open; it seems like they just have...

Pros: Beautiful Campus (Architecture!), Extreme School Spirit
Cons: Too Much Emphasis on Athletics, Admissions Program/Scholarship Program not thorough enough

Last year, as a senior in high school, I spent many, many days searching college guide books, carefully plodding through internet sites, and visiting college campuses, all in the hopes that my searching would yield the "right" college for me....

Pros: Constant improvements
Cons: parking, parking, parking

The University of Oklahoma was really the only choice for me as far as going to college was concerned. I grew up in the area, so I lived with my parents for a little while and got a huge break by not having to pay to live in the dorms. If I did have to...

Pros: Single-Occupancy, windows that open!!!!! Smoking available on 4th floors.
Cons: Stairs, Community Bathrooms.

Are you about to leave home for college? What is it going to be like to live away from home for probably the first time, and where are you going to live? Afraid of what experiences you might have, that you haven't had already? Afraid of the people...

Pros: lots of choices!
Cons: having a roommate for the first time

I have lived in campus housing for two years now. My freshman year I lived as a resident, and now I am a resident advisor.

As any school, we have rules in the dorm that people find unappealing--limited smoking floors, visitation rules and...

Pros: Self gratification, great people, great coach, fun times.
Cons: Lack of hills (oh, but we find the ones that exist), no home course.

As a collegiate athlete I have experienced many new things. Physically I've been put through hell and mentally I've been exhausted by not only my own pressure to perform in races but also in academics. I've seen some of the worst in politically...

Pros: pretty campus
Cons: Authoritarian, snobby adiminstrators who are BAD problem solvers & retaliate if U question them.

The University of Oklahoma has great potential. For the most part, the faculty is good and the school has good academic programs. The problem is if you are a minority or if you ever have a problem or if you ever want to talk to the university president, ...

Pros: Beautiful campus, great faculty, low cost...and great football!!!!
Cons: The "greek" system of the fraternities and sororities is somewhat annoying.

I made the decision to come to OU based on nothing more than the letter and the recruiting video the admissions office sent me. I had never seen the campus before, never known anyone who had attended the university, and the school wasn't even on my list...

Pros: Cheap (even out of state, even if you don't have a scholarship), great professors, President Boren, pretty campus
Cons: No music scene, lack of cultural diversity

One of the things that brought me to a school 1,000 miles from my home was the excitement of the faculty and administration about the growth of this school. President Boren, a former Congressman, has been a great influence on this academic community....

Pros: Cheap, Great School, Nice Town/Campus
Cons: Town only has 100,000 people

I currently attend the university of Oklahoma. I am in my second semester here, and I am enjoying myself. I graduated from Norman North High School (Local High School), so I have been in Norman quite a while. Norman is a growing community of around...

Pros: Helpful, knowledgeable advising staff. Professors easy to contact. Classes geared to your major.
Cons: None

My personal experience at OU has been very positive. I recently graduated with a degree in Secondary English. The administration in the College of Education is concerned about the quality of education students are receiving. I served on the...

Pros: Get to meet a lot of people your freshman year
Cons: To many to mention in this box

Hello,

I am a Freshman at the University of Oklahoma majoring in Computer Science, and Music(voice performance). The University has a long standing policy of requiring students who do not live within 50 miles of the University to live in the...

Pros: Good academic program, low cost
Cons: Little cultural diversity, emphasis on Greek System

The University of Oklahoma is one of those schools whose recruiting letters usually just get thrown out with the junk mail. But take the time to look into the school, and you'd be surprised what you find.
Oklahoma offers a solid academic...

Pros: top notch and affordable education
Cons: prevalence of greek types

Before you read this I must clarify the fact that I have a long standing bias towards OU. As a native of the Sooner state, I have grown up treking to Norman on Saturdays to witness the spectacle of home football games. Some of my earliest memories are of...
