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 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.

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!
