University of Oklahoma Students Tell It Like It Is
With off-the-record quotes, advice, and observations made by current University of Oklahoma students on more than 25 topics (campus housing, diversity, dining, guys and girls, and weather), College Prowler's University of Oklahoma guidebook will help prospectives decide whether or not to attend the school at all, and if so, whether or not to pack that extra hoodie. (What if the wind really does come sweepin' down the plains?) And what do you do if someone yells out "Boomer"? You better yell back "Sooner," or everyone will know you're a prospie or a frosh! There's a lot about OU that current students think you need to know, and the College Prowler guidebook puts it all right at your fingertips!
Campus Dining
'The campus cafeteria has a program where students can submit their favorite recipe from home, and they do their best to re-create your meal just like mom used to make.'
'The food on campus is good. The school cafeteria is really good and always has several choices, and it is all-you-can-eat. You can also use meal points at other places on campus.'
Campus Housing
'The towers are better than Cate because you share a bathroom with three people instead of like 10, but people in Cate get a lot closer to each other than towers dorms do.'
Parking on Campus
'After you move off campus, it sucks. Most people get dropped off by friends, buy a parking pass, park on Campus Corner, or there is a bus system that is simple to use.'
Drug Scene
'As far as I can see, there isn't a huge drug scene. I don't do drugs, so maybe I don't really know what to look for. But I am not pressured to do drugs at all, and I never see them around.'

The College Prowler Process
While writing our series of college guides, we felt it was critical that our content was unbiased and unaffiliated with any college or university. By hiring current students as authors, we strive to create college guides that truly represent each campus. Our guides cover both the good and the bad, and whether survey responses point to recurring trends or varying opinions, these sentiments are directly and proportionally expressed through our guides.
From the very beginning, student writers gather the most up-to-date stats, facts, and inside information on their colleges. They fill each section with student quotes and summarize the findings in editorial reviews. In addition, each school receives a collection of letter grades (A through F) that reflect student opinion. Once a guide is written, additional college students serve as editors and check for accuracy even more extensively. This same process is applied to all of the 258 colleges and universities College Prowler currently covers. Each guide is the result of endless student contributions, hundreds of pages of research and writing, and countless hours of hard work. All of this has led to the creation of a student information network that stretches across the nation. It’s no easy accomplishment, but it’s the reason that our guides are such a great resource.
