Julia from Edmond, OK
The University of Oklahoma has a wealth of opportunity to offer. It is a beautiful campus and the classes are kept small to offer individual attention to students. It also offers a lot of ways to get involved and give back to the community as well as ways to further your education or make connections that can last a lifetime.
Brianna from Frisco, TX
The University of Oklahoma has been a great experience for me, although the campus is huge and there are thousands of students, don't assume that you'll just be a number to your professor. The professors are very friendly and supportive if you need help with anything. I recommend getting to know your professors, roommates, and classmates so that you can make your experience here just as memorable.
