So far my experience at the University of Central Oklahoma has been AMAZING! What I really like about the University is that everyone there will make you feel so comfortable your first time being there. It's so diverse and all the staff is so friendly and helpful! However, one thing that I would hope they change is the food, maybe more varieties and healthier choices. Don't get me wrong, the food is good. It just needs a little improvements. Overall, the University of Central Oklahoma is a great college! I would recommend this school to anyone who not only wants a nonforgettable college experience but also somewhere they can feel at home.
Review University of Central Oklahoma
I absolutely love attending the University of Central Oklahoma. There's so many opportunities on campus that you can get involved in. I love the different people I meet on campus. I've meet people from all over the world. I also love my campus. It's so pretty, especially in the fall time when all the leaves start to change Broncho lake is so pretty as well, sometimes I'll even go read books on the lawn over there because it's so beautiful. There is always something to do on campus, one time there was even an opportunity for students to ride a camel! You just never know what to expect and I just love that. I also love my professors and the class sizes are perfect. They're not big so it's easier to learn and be able to contact professors for help.
This is an incredible school to get your degree. The price is affordable, wide variety of degrees and classes to take, and great professors! UCO professors really care about their students and their success. Student life is always going on! Lots of clubs, sororities, fraternities, and organizations that you can join!
