Junior: Boomer Sooner! I recently transferred to OU and have loved every single moment. The University of Oklahoma has such a large and diverse population that you cannot fail to find your place here. There are so many colleges, courses, and professors to choose from. There are entire departments dedicated to ensuring the well-being of all students, all you have to do is ask around. There are more than 100 student organizations on campus, cultural, academic, sport-oriented, and religious organizations for students to choose from, and if you feel any of the existing organizations does not cater for your needs, you are allowed to make your own. There is academic advising, peer tutoring, group tutoring sessions, a library database with more than enough information, and office hours provided by professors and teaching assistants among other services to ensure that students are supported to produce the best results at school. OU is so big that there's enough room for everyone to thrive.... Read 3,195 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

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 330 reviews

Freshman: Working with the University of Central Oklahoma along my journey of obtaining my bachelor's in criminal justice has taught me a lot. I have learned to advocate for myself and navigate through a complicated system. I am excited to be on my path of success. I come from a challenging background. I was raised in a situation that I was trafficked in. I had to survive my initial obstacles in order to pursue a path of success. University of Central Oklahoma has been understanding with my obstacles and background. They have a great advocacy network for students. There have been a few challenges I've faced as an adult. Which include but aren't limited to; being a single parent, having a disability and having been subjected to a hate crime involving gun violence with my kids. I am finally in a place to be able to earn my degree. UCO has helped make sure I can attain the goals I set for myself. I am excited for my future!... Read 1,842 reviews

Alum: Thank you Rose State for everything! I participated in the PLC class, Student Senate, Raider Relevance, and more. The professors genuinely care about the students in their class, and they know you by name because the classes are small. The advisors are in your corner, and really help to ensure you are on track to graduate with your desired degree. Rose State is a safe place to grow in your educational journey, and meet incredible people along the way. It is also one of the most affordable options for college. I’m so glad I chose Rose, and it is definitely Greater to be a Raider!... Read 597 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....

Other: I was a concurrent student who took around 20 credit hours with Redlands. I loved it! The professors were great communicators, and the counselor was incredibly helpful. Was a great start for me, and with my experience I would think that it would be a great school for a full associates degree.... Read 117 reviews

Senior: Good school, small classes, some teachers are very understanding, some don’t care about your circumstances. Chapel is mandatory apart from if you have a job and there are strict rules you have to follow most of the time. They have events throughout the year for everyone to be involved in the school and it is an easy place to make friends. A little support for the sports teams and drama/ music clubs and helpful staff most of the time.... Read 28 reviews
