As a student athlete and musician at Oklahoma City University, I experience a wide variety of things. One day I will be playing volleyball or watching another sport compete, the next day I will be watching my roommate act in a play. Everyday is a different day and it is a great experience. It is an everyday thing to hear students singing on their way to class. I also hear different languages and accents all around campus. OCU has a very diverse group of students, they come from all around the country to earn their degree from here. I feel that my college experience is more diverse than most!

Oklahoma City University is incredible! The staff is attentive, the campus life is great. It’s just a great place to school, especially for the arts.
With a price tag that can leave you in six digit debt after you graduate one wonders why anyone would ever come here, but the answer is simple: It's worth every penny. You work with people who are not only knowledgeable but professionals in their careers. The professors are always going to answer any questions you have if it means helping you learn. I honestly can't imagine myself attending any other college.
