University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

The tuition- it's very high. Out of state is crazy expensive, but besides that I love it there. I wish Chem 1 wasn't such a weed out class and I wish that they didn't put so many tests in one week. I had at least 2 tests every week for the whole month of February and it was rough.

The worst thing about this school would be the parking along with some of the academic advisors. The parking is very difficult to find on campus and can take up a lot of your study/school time. The advisors can be very blunt and do not offer to look at other options for graduating/ other advising.

The worst part of my school is the cost. The tuition rose several times during my time at OU and now I am facing over $10000 of student loans.

Don't like some of my professors.

The worst thing about my school I would have to say is the arrogance. People are said to be stuck up and snobby here, and after talking to a few people, I see what they mean. It is never a bad thing to be proud of your school, but to brag about it seems too self absorbed. I am proud to be here and proud I made it, but I am also proud of my friends who also made it into colleges maybe not as well known but still existing.

The tuition is high. I am an out of state student and they just increased the tuition rate by approximately 5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. They do a good job of helping students the best they can, but honestly I don't have enough help.

The amount of work one must go through to get all required materials for specific classes; such as textbooks, experiment supplies, various classroom tools, etc. The price and availability of such items also adds to the issue.

The lack of financial aid for middle class in-state students. There is not enough money available to support 20,000 dollar tuition and fees.

The worse thing about my school would have to be the weather. It typically gets below freezing which can cause health threats as well as chances of spreading diseases such as the flu or the common cold. We have never been known to cancel class due to weather. But I suppose even though that is a negative it shows the students motivation to fight rain, sleet, or snow to get to where we need to go.

Cost of out of state tuition.

It's expensive

Sometimes, you will get a teachers assistant instead of a professor and he or she may be working on thier disseration or be busy with other things which causes them to be less caring about the class and that is frustrating since we pay good amounts of money and therefor should be taught well.

No interaction.

I can't find any bad thing about OU. There's spirit and fun, the classes are amazing. The only thing you'll ever have to deal with is dinner at the caf - it's always full!

The tuition is high as well as room and board costs.

The worst thing about my school is the the size of some of the general education courses. The university does a good job of keeping the majority of class sizes small making it easy for students and professors to form relationships. However the large classes make it difficult to form this relationship.

I would consider the stereotyping and segregation among OU students to be the worst thing about the school. There is a large divide between Greek and non-Greek students. This segregation (caused by steretyiping on both sides) causes disunity among students and creates a tention between the students based on their group affiliations.

I understand that being at a big university may have a more research based curriculum, but I still don't agree with huge lecture classes for some of the more difficult subjects. It's harder to learn in an environment that doesn't have one to one teaching methods.

The worst thing about my school would be the parking. It can take up to thirty minutes to find a parking spot. Many students are late to activities or class because of this delay.

The worst thing about the school is that it's very bureaucratic in the way it operates. In some ways this can be a good thing because the school has a lot of students. However, sometimes this can slow down a process. For example, if you want to get a permit to post fliers for a student organization you have to submit an application to do so and then the application must be approved. This means the student organization has to plan ahead if they want to advertise for an event since it takes time to get the application approved.
