OU college life offers you new independence — so it’s up to you to manage your time, take care of your studies and control your finances. Leaving home for college means you’ll be exploring a new place, making new friends and setting your own priorities. You’re going to face big changes in a small amount of time, which can be both exciting and intimidating. College is full of resources – professors, tutors, counselors and advisors – and help is available, but it’s up to you to ask for it.

My school is best known for our football team. They are a really good team in the Big 12. To be able to go to the football games is really fun and it is a very good time. Also, University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus is known for our business college. They are a really good business school for students wanting to major in Business.

Our football program is probably what our school is known for, followed closely by our medical school.

Yelling "BOOMER!" anywhere and seeing/hearing everyone around you look around and yell "SOONER!".
Boomer Sooner - OU's fight call.

Football is poular here but OU prides itself with being a great educational institution with hundreds of programs and course offerings at a comparable price.
Emma
The University of Oklahoma is beyond a research university known for academic excellence and affordability, but the university is an exceptional place to further your education. The University of Oklahoma is filled with a Sooner family who unconditionally supports and encourages one another to seize opportunities and challenges each other to set higher stands to achieve greater accomplishments outside the classroom walls.
Paige
The University of Oklahoma is known for both National Merit Scholars and its football program, which gives a great balance to the atmosphere of the school. It is a place of learning so being academically motivated is a high priority, but it is also a social place, giving you plenty of opportunities for fun while away from home.

By far, my favorite campus tradition is the Boomer Sooner chant at football games. For those who don't know, at home games one side of the stadium yells "Boomer" in unison and the other side of the stadium yells back "Sooner!" It is so awesome to hear all the Sooner fans united!
Another one of my favorite traditions is our rival football games. The Red River Rivalry (OU vs. Texas) and Bedlam (OU vs. OSU) are so much fun to watch!

The University of Oklahoma is known for one thing, their football program. The University of Oklahoma always has one of the best collegiate football teams in the nation which the University takes pride in. The University of Oklahoma's medical field is also one of the top medical fields in the country. Their library, which is rarely known, was ranked in the top 15 libraries in the country as well.
Nabeela
Great, experienced teachers, awesome campus, amazing football and basketball teams, and having a blast here!
Cathleen
The University of Oklahoma is known for its great athletics department including an awesome football team, but they are also known for the academic excellence in the school with the highest number of National Merit Scholars in the country. We also have a huge international student populaiton that allows for a wide range in sociocultural diversity. There are also over 150 different majors that allows students the freedom to figure out what they are really intereseted in. So it is not just one thing OU is known for but more a collaboration of great aspects.
Katy
OU is most known for its greek life and Big 12 sports involvement. We offer several degree program choices with the highest of education standards. Overall OU is well known for its large campus but retaining the core value of being known as a student and not a number. Therefore classes are still kept small, with larger lectures available as well. The entry qualifications keep the number of students to the best of the best and big enough for fun but small enough for a firm education. OU is number one!
