Tulsa Current Resident: I've lived in Tulsa nearly my whole life and I love it here! There are terrific food, art, and social scenes that continuously expand. I truly believe that for a relatively small US city, Tulsa packs a punch. Navigating the city is very manageable due to the roads being arranged in a grid-like pattern. There's sort of a joke that you can make it anywhere in the city within 15 minutes, which is actually pretty accurate! The people are incredibly friendly, a unique combination of southern hospitality and city quirk. The public schools are unfortunately one of the city's biggest downfalls. A majority of our public schools are short-staffed and under-funded, though in my experience Tulsa is lucky to employ many teachers that are dedicated and exceptional role models. Overall, I have no qualms with having grown up here and no intention on moving away from the city any time soon! Read 1,021 Reviews
