University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

In some ways yes. Alot of people at OU don't feel the desire to meet others but most of them are in Fraternities and Sororities. They already have friends in their houses. But most students are very friendly and fun to be around. I have really enjoyed meeting people around campus.

Football is the bloodlife of the place and it does play an important role to the OU identity. However, that doesn't mean one has to go to an OU game to be a student there. I didn't attend one OU football event while there and could care less about football. The student population seems to divide among those who love football and those who do not. There is a place for everyone.

Definitely not. The expense is comparable to other universities and actually are lower than some of the other universities; the admissions process and the classes are comparable to other colleges and most of the processes are online so it makes it much easier.

Hardly!

Yes and no. Many people "go greek" because it's a great way to meet people. But since everyone lives in the dorms their freshman year, it's not hard to get to know new people.

these are not accurate by any means. everyone is treated the same and nobody cares what grade or what class year you are a part of.

Probably not.

No.

Every college has the stereotypes above. Do we have stuck up people? Yes. Do we have people that are fanatics about football? Oh yeah. Should this concern anyone about going to OU? No. Learning to deal with all types of people is what the college experience is about.

Not so much, while there are a lot of people from Texas (and all over the world for that matter), there is still a sense of total acceptance and a level of comfort that can often be difficult to find on a larger campus.
