University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus accurate?

Valerie

Football is huge. We have a great football team and everyone loves to be a part of ?Sooner Magic.? Alumni and fans are always tailgating outside the stadium on game days. As for the horses, yeah, we just rope ?em to the bike racks outside class.

None of these stereotypes are accurate and they really demean a great campus. OU's campus has some of the most visually appealing buildings I have seen on a campus. They are architecturally great and provide everyone with a homely small university feel. We also have many amazing lanscape projects. The stereotype about the students and community is generally untrue. You do have some religious affiliations that are stronger than others, but it does not affect university life at all. Our staff does happen to be particurally liberal and are very open to their views through classrooms and outside of class. Norman is a town of 100,000 plus people and is very educated as a town and many people would not label the community as redneck if you came and visited.

Not at all, I have really enjoyed going to school here and meeting new people. By no means do we ride horses. What is really great about OU is that you are permitted to have cars on campus no matter what your standing is.

Most of them are not true however there are a few that are dead on.
