Freshman: This is an amazing school! I have met so many unique people here and as an out of state student, everyone is so welcoming. Greek life is pretty popular, but there is still tons to do if that is not your scene. The university does a great job at holding on campus events to get freshmen and honestly anyone involved! I am a nursing major and will say that the chemistry department is slightly lacking in terms of having professors that can adequately teach such rigorous courses. There are ways to get extra assistance though which is very helpful if you actually use it. The dorms are pretty average. The towers definitely have mold in them and provide your average dorm experience, whereas Cross is more of an apartment style dorm. I lived in the towers and loved every crazy moment of it! Overall, The University of Oklahoma is an amazing school and I’d recommend it to anyone that is even slightly interested.... Read 3,178 reviews

Sophomore: Stillwater has a beautiful campus and a family like feel. Dorms are adequate but I think there needs to be better training for the CMs. The one I dealt with was nice enough but didn't seem to have to knowledge to deal with much of anything. There is also a lot of off campus housing that still seems like you are on campus, which is an excellent option for students with pets! There are a lot of activities and clubs to join, ranging from sports, to music and entertainment. Something that would be beneficial would be to have better access to tutors that have specified areas of expertise. Also on campus work is available for about any type of work you can think of. The professors are mostly helpful, although there are a few that are not very accessible to students for help with class work. Would like to see better on campus food options. Also, I feel like the required meal plans need to be adjusted to reflect the lack of food options for students, especially later in the day.... Read 3,649 reviews

Freshman: UCO is a great college, it's accessible and affordable, offering many scholarship and aid opportunities for incoming and current students! I am a member of the musical theatre program and the professors are incredibly welcoming and everyone in the program wants to see you succeed. The student body is fairly diverse and very supportive of everyone around them, and the school offers many opportunities for engagement on campus through student organizations, greek life, etc. The campus resources are abundant including academic advisors that are always willing to help with questions and financial resource centers for both aid and payments. The campus is fairly good sized, though not too large that it is overwhelming to navigate, and is covered in greenery and inviting areas for students to congregate or have some time to themselves in the scenic area. The school features a plentiful 4-story library, an expansive wellness center, and comfortable dorms, as well as many other resources.... Read 1,829 reviews

  Rating 3.81 out of 5  715 reviews

Sophomore: Although the University of Tulsa is known for being expensive, they are very generous with scholarships (I myself have managed to pay for the full cost of attendance with their help). The small class sizes are a great way to connect with both classmates and professors, and the relatively small campus size makes it easy to get to closely-scheduled classes. Plus, it's a lot easier to enroll in classes when there are fewer people competing for a spot. As for looks, the campus is beautiful -- it's got a lot of gorgeous flora and excellent sights. I feel like the ambience of the university is a huge factor of why I love attending. There are dozens of resources on campus for pretty much everything, from tutoring to career planning. The academic advisors do a great job making sure students are taking the classes they need to graduate and are interested in. At the same time, TU offers multitudes of opportunities throughout the semester for personal advancements, such as finance management.... Read 715 reviews

Senior: My experience at Oklahoma City University has been a great one so far! I am a transfer student majoring in Business. When one of my advisors from community college mentioned an institution that offered a great amount of scholarships to business majors, I knew Oklahoma City University was a great fit for me financially. Not only does OCU provide scholarships, but there is a strong connection among the students and professors. The classes are smaller and there is more involvement in discussions. OCU takes in consideration of developing future leaders in our community and in the industry we attend to. I am thankful to attend to a great institution. I encourage any upcoming college students to consider applying to OCU.... Read 607 reviews

Alum: My experience at OBU was fantastic! It takes time and effort, but you can find a good, supportive group of people there. The students also come with a variety of backgrounds and unique interests. I liked that I could walk to all of my classes. The teachers I had were supportive and personal. The gym had everything you would need. There were plenty of activities to get involved in as well. The environment was very relaxed. My only critique would be the food. Over time (perhaps new management) grilled chicken and other items like it seemed to become more rare or took more effort to get. The food quality didn’t seem quite as good as it used to be and the veal and other good dishes were only available when they had a day where potential future students were visiting. Other than that my time at OBU made me better.... Read 719 reviews

Junior: Southern Nazarene University is a small campus that puts community, commitment, and Christ at the center of its values. No matter a student's athletic status, academic goals, or level of involvement on campus, authoritative figures intentionally pursue each one with the intent of getting them connected with other staff and peers around campus. Professors know each student by name and set aside office time to ensure they are on the track to success. Placing Christ at the center of the school's being allows students to belong to something greater than themselves. It gives students something to believe in, and creates a culture of love for all who'd like to be part of it. I love that the staff and students I have grown to know now feel like my family away from home. Living hours away from my home, my parents, and my hometown friends is nowhere near as difficult as I thought it would be because of the people at SNU.... Read 329 reviews

Sophomore: Southwestern Christian University is a small university in Bethany, Oklahoma. The close-knit nature of the community has both benefits and drawbacks. In many aspects, Southwestern Christian University's size enables a highly controlled, interactive environment. While engaging in various community events, attending chapel, playing sports, or going to class, you won't run across an unfamiliar face. A supportive network is readily available in this context, which fosters a sense of accountability, acknowledgment, and safety. This sense of community and support has been wonderful, especially as an international student from South Africa. Being all alone in America was intimidating, but at Southwestern Christian, I had a strong network of friends and mentors right away. The student to professor ratio creates an environment of accountability and mutual respect. Courses and course work is easily accessible and the teachers work with you and are very flexible....
