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 3,650 reviews

Graduate Student: I love how helpful everyone has been! I was really nervous to be going back to school for my Masters after being out of the loop for over 10 years. Before picking SE, I interviewed 5 different college programs before deciding on Southeastern. All of the SE advisors have been so helpful and provided so much knowledge to help with making my college choice if SE Very easy. I am looking forward to this new learning experience...

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 3,179 reviews

Sophomore: My experience here overall was very good. I've made lifelong friends, many of whom are my professors from in-person classes! I absolutely never would've imagined I'd make it this far. I'm horrible at math, and I can honestly say that Prof. Talia (Branham-)Williams taking time to explain that it's just a matter of solving each problem as though it's a puzzle, and you've been given it simply to see if you're mature enough to persevere until you solve it instead of breaking down & quitting. Sorry, but I cannot praise this lady enough. There were a lot of tears, but she was a game changer for me. If I made an A in College Algebra, I can do anything. All I've got to do is remember that. :)... Read 291 reviews

Graduate Student: I loved attending Community Care College. When I got to CCC there were so many career options available I was scared of the cost and commitment. I was going to have to change my entire. Then I saw the cost of education, it was not something I took lightly. I knew if I was going to go to school, I was going to give it my all or I would be just wasting my time and money. I had no idea that I was using the wrong perspective when I was looking at the cost of my education. Now I know my education was well worth it and not just in the books and curriculum. It was well spent on all the things that our instructor Ms. Marolyn Maxey knew we would need to learn to later excel in life, as well as in Early Childhood Education. We’ve gained a better understanding of time management skills, professionalism, computer technology requirements in the workplace, and a better understanding of early childhood development....

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

Sophomore: Northeastern State University is an excellent college to attend. This campus has many friendly faces to meet and outstanding professors. NSU is a perfect size if you want a school that is big enough to offer everything while not feeling too overwhelmed. This college feels like home! The only thing I think this campus lacks is enough parking for housing students. However, this school offers a very diverse setting, which is incredible because not only am I learning new things from my classes, but I am also learning all kinds of cultural things from the friends I have made from attending NortheasternState University. NSU is a liberal art school with an excellent science program. While NSU offers many things academically, NSU also provides a wide variety of clubs you can join. It is almost impossible not to find a club you would love with its vast array. However, if there is no club for you, you can create your own!... Read 982 reviews

Graduate Student: Oklahoma City Community College was perfect for starting out my journey through college. I completed high school online, and before that I was in a private school. Because of this, I was a little intimidated integrating into a traditional school for the first time. OCCC allowed me to make this transition with no trouble. It truly is like a community in which people care about you and want you to succeed. The classes are smaller which makes it easy to connect with classmates and make friends. The teachers are communicative and make their coursework easy to understand. They provide good study materials and make the course expectations clear. OCCC is also a very affordable option, which is great when you’re just starting out. It has very helpful resources like the writing center, where people assist you in building upon your language skills. It is easy to find help when you need it. All in all, my experience here was smooth sailing, and I wouldn’t hesitate to apply here!... Read 752 reviews

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.

Junior: Langston is more than just a school to me it is really the start of my life story. I feel that Langston is the most family-like college and historically black college /university. My mom went to Langston and graduated in 2014. Growing up on a college campus opened my eyes to a lot of different stuff at an early age. I remember being young walking the yard and seeing all the greeks on campus and going to the lion's den to watch people study. There were always events going on such as football games, pep rallies, and basketball games. Living on campus now as a college sophomore is so different because everywhere on campus unlocks a childhood memory that I did with my mom. I knew that when I came to Langston, I would have a great support system and I would be familiar with the area. Some of the college professors I watched teach my mom are teaching me....

I think that this college is great for anyone who is interested in a smaller college and who does not want to live on campus. The college has also made online classes easy to access and so many classes are available online at your convenience. The school advisor's are also amazing at answering any questions you could have. They are never in a hurry to rush you out the door. If you are thinking about attending, I do not think you would regret it!... Read 421 reviews

I really like that their nursing program is more flexible than others and allows you to still be able to work a full time job and balance your family as well without feeling like you are drowning.

After that it is smooth sailing and I had a lot of fun. I attended the surgical technology program at the health sciences center and we had a lot of opportunity.
