Overall Experience

The majority of students were very satisfied with their time spent at OU. They feel that the small town of Norman offers a true college experience, along with the ability to give back to the community. Most feel that people in Norman are genuinely friendly and, for the most part, down to earth. The academics at OU are strong, and, generally speaking, the professors are understanding and qualified.

Although there are some aspects that could use improvement, like parking, OU offers many great perks that make up for the minor inconveniences. OU has a strong athletic tradition, and the facilities available to students and athletes alike are top-of-the-line. There are numerous things to do, depending on what or with whom you care to do them with. Ultimately, what makes OU such a great place was different for every student, which only proves that OU truly does have something for everybody.

I’ve had an amazing overall experience on this campus. There are so many opportunities and activities to be a part of, as well as fun places to hang out with your friends.

OU is the best school around, in my opinion. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. You can have so much fun here, and people are generally friendly. We are tops in academics among public schools. The population is very small, and it is not close to any cool stuff really. Norman is also close to Dallas, Texas, which if you haven’t been there, is a really cool city.

It seriously is amazing. First, I’ll say we have one of the best presidents of a university at our school. Everyone loves President Boren. He cut down on the admissions because he didn’t want to get over 30,000 students. He is big on a sense of community. He wants his students to hang out and get to know each other, and he has so many people to help you along your college career.

It has helped me to become more outgoing and confident about myself. I know that I can succeed and get somewhere in life. Recently, OU went up in some prestigious poll in the top 10 schools that receive the best education or something like that. It was a big deal. The sports are so much fun. The Greek system will help you meet tons more people, too. But if you don’t like that sort of thing, it’s not a big deal. I love it here, and I feel like I’m at home. You should truly think about coming here. There are so many life-changing experiences and awesome people you will encounter. I promise you’ll love it.

I love it and I am so proud to be graduating from OU. My best memories and experiences have been here. I have never wished to be somewhere else. My friends tell me about their other schools and they don’t compare. It’s absolutely beautiful and my whole family loved it. I know my brother is even considering it when he graduates high school.
