I believe my UCO experience has been great! It hasn’t been easy but It has taught me a lot of great lessons about myself. It has taken time but I’m knocking on the door of completion. I did not give up and when I get done I plan on being an officer in the US Air Force. I had to change some of my ways and study habits that held me back for so long but that is the process of my personal development. I learned those behaviors through my childhood experiences and they followed me into adulthood. UCO helped me to recognize those destructive, negative behaviors, and thinking patterns. All of my experiences, in life and at the University of Central Oklahoma, have made me extremely knowledgeable in finances, social awareness, and global awareness as well. After receiving my Bachelors degree, I am planning on getting my master in either Public Administration or Urban Planning and Development. I am glad that I realized that it is never too late to be the best version of you.
University of Central Oklahoma offers an amazing and comfortable environment. Never think that you are alone, every corner there is a helping hand ready to assist you. Whether it's with class work, personal life, etc. UCO's professors never lack in their lessons , UCO classes are typically smaller than other universities so one to one help is not uncommon. There's centers for LGBT and people of color, such as a community closet and even free STI testing. There is room for everyone at UCO, a great example is the food in the cafeteria, dining from all around the world that is suited for anyone. The dorms are spacious and easy to become situated in! If there is a school to choose, it's definitely University of Central Oklahoma.
My overall experience with UCO has been great! I did not get my bachelor's here, only my master's. The professors and advisors are always so helpful and do not mind answering any questions or concerns you might have. Being in the master's program, I have also learned that the professors are very understanding in the idea that we all still have full time jobs and lives outside of school. Overall, I wouldn't be wanting to go back to school at any other university.
