University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

Describe the students at University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus.

Jordan

Before I begin, let me warn you that I am a huge fashionista, and I feel this is something OU is severly lacking. Just because you're going to class doesn't mean you can wear something that completely doesn't match and look ridiculous, but that's just my opinion! Recently, I've been seeing a lot of sperrys and tennis shoes with those socks we wore when we were in 5th grade that come up to our calves. blegh. The student body also recently tried to bring rollerblading back to look cool! That didn't work out. I see a lot of things that really irk me, but like I said, I'm huge on fashion! I think there is a good mix of students at OU. There are a lot of students that come from wealthy backgrounds, but there are also a lot that do not. There are a lot of American students, and a lot of international. I feel that this gives these students an opportunity to learn things from each other because the backgrounds are so vast.

I've personally belonged to several organizations that are based on academics/honors, science, culture and Greek life. There are over 400 different organizations on this campus that all cater to different interests from anime to equestrian, from math whizzes to the students who just like to go out feed the weird community of squirrels we have. The only reason that students would feel alienated on this campus is if they just didn't even try reaching out or OU just isn't for them.

People respect each other in this campus. You can easily fit in with the students here, no matter who you are. We have quite a number of international students, but of course there are more Americans here. Depending on who you hangout with, a few of the students talk about how much they'll earn one day and how they will make a difference to the world. It's impossible to get out of place because we smile whenever people pass by each other even though the other person is a stranger. OU is a nice place full of nice, friendly people.

So many different students from every walk of life come to study at OU. One of the best aspects of OU is our student organizations. There are organizations that fit anyones needs. We have College Republicans/Democrats, Animal Volunteer Alliance, LGBT, Multicultural, and much, much more. There is absolutely NO student that would feel out of place at OU. Most students wear whatever is comforable to them to class. There is nothing in paticular that most students wear. We have an amazing international studies program, so the chances that you would meet someone from outside the US is pretty good! In addition, OU students have an incredible opportunity to study abroad with practically any major.

Students at OU are always nice and always excited to be at school. There is never a negative vibe in the classroom; my classmates are always genuinely happy.

My classmates are all really great people. Now that I am in my specific Social Work program, I have the same classes with all the same students. We all get along great and everyone is willing to help each other out with classwork. They are very passionate about the major and about school in general and we all share a common bond as future social workers. It is great to be in class with them because our classes are small so we really get to know each other.

Jasmine

When I came to the University of Oklahoma, I was a little apprehensive because I did not see many people that reminded me of myself. After a few weeks of me attending the University, I began to feel very comfortable with my surroundings. Everyone here is so friendly, and makes sure that you feel welcome. I learned to step outside of my comfort zone in order to make myself at home. I am very happy that I chose to attend this University.

My classmates are the average assortment of late teens and young adults, ranging from nerdy to preppy and every cliche group in between, but with more sophistication and class than the high school crowd.

My classmates are always very diverse and eager to learn.
