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

Sophomore: Oral Roberts University is not just any ordinary university. This university is led by Holy Spirit-empowered individuals who take their time to provide the necessities for college students to succeed in their studies. The community is full of fellow believers in Christ Jesus, and individuals are open to sharing their understandings of the word of God. Academics wise, the Professors are willing to help their students and they always manage to incorporate God's Word into their lessons. The campus itself is beautiful and full of life! Overall my experience at ORU is unique and very different than other colleges in the United States and I accept it!... Read 1,465 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

Sophomore: Overall its a pleasant experience here. Relatively small campus so a car isn't needed. The same goes for some of the town since it's a smaller one. The classes are usually small with 20 or less people. It's a cheap yet effective option. Biggest complaint is the availability of spending your meal plans. Unlike some other universities, everything food-related closes around 8. The diner itself isn't even all day; you have to get there at certain periods throughout the day. And on Fridays everything closes earlier (around 5 pm). And you're kind of out of luck if you intend to stay in dorms during holidays since everything will always be closed including the smaller holidays like Fall Break. So you'd have to get sustenance outside of campus for those 4 or 5 days without able even able to spend part of your meal plans that you paid for.... Read 564 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 988 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

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...

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

Sophomore: I really appreciate the community involvement and loving atmosphere that is found throughout Oklahoma Christian. The professors might be strict but they are providing adversities that will be faced after college and I respect them more because of that. The food at OC could improve by supplying more variation and allowing the Eagle Bucks to be used at more places; such as Subway, McDonald's, Starbucks...and the list goes on. Oklahoma Christian University is a great religious and private institution with many fun on-campus extracurricular activities.... Read 653 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 720 reviews

Senior: My time in Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) has been interesting as I got to learn about their chemistry program, their psychology classes, and their clubs. The online classes are great for people who don't want to overwork themselves and can be done whenever they remember the due date. I also got to work at the museum and it's been fun learning about the history of the university and of the state.... Read 231 reviews

Niche User: Northeastern Oklahoma is where I attend my Concurrent classes. It has introduced me into college life in the best way. The professors are all very well with their students and push their students to be the best they can be. NEO has a large amount of diversity among their students! Anyone can fit right in. Their agriculture program is very good. I have never had any bad experiences with NEO. They give their concurrent students just as much assistance as any other college student. I appreciate NEO for being so welcoming.... Read 241 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....

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
