University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

The worst thing about the school is the seperation between different colleges. Most peole tend to stick to the college they are in such as business, engineering, education, or art. This means most students are only exposed to people like themselves. They do not have different perspectives on other ideas or thoughts.

One of the worst things about the University of Oklahoma could be that some of the general education classes can be a little large and overwhelming for incoming freshmen.

The focus on sports. I'm a huge sports fan, but to have money spent on coaches and whatnot when it could easily go to other departments is frustrating. The equipment that the Film/Video Studies department has is laughable. With just a fraction of the money spent on sports we could easily buy new equipment.

The worst thing about my school is how much it cost. I'm from Texas, so I have to pay out of state tuition and it's a lot more than my parents would have liked to pay.

There are a lot of snobbish people, but that could just be because I'm in the Greek system.

The worst thing about my school is that many of the candidates for campus elections that take place for positions such as Campus Activities Council chairman, Student Body President, etc., share pretty much the same ideas and philosophies, so diversity in student leadership positions is very minimal.

The worst thing about my school is the fact that they don't have a Pre-chiropractic program. Because of this, I have to major in Multi-Disciplinary Studies and there are few scholarships for that major. Financial aid is difficult for me to find.

weather! it can change at any point!

The worst thing I would say would be during game days. The campus is big and already has 31000 students. It doesn't help that the stadium holds 81000. Naturally, lots of locals and other patrons travel to the campus for the games and it makes me feel ever so much more crowded. And I also dislike the fact that the workers at financial aid often give students the run around but I assume that's anywhere.

More parking places closer to classes.

Sometimes people who work are arrogant about what student has to do rather than providing options.

There's a great amount of financial aid available as long as a person isn't middle class. The wealthy don't need help paying for school and the poor get federal financial aid. Minorities get special scholarships and the intellectually gifted are recruited to boost the schools academic standing. Anyone who is of average intelligence and average income falls by the wayside and is overlooked.

I consider the emphasis on the Greek system the worst thing about this school for those who are opposed to the Greek system. Social networks revolve around the Greek system.

Thankfully, there really aren't that many problems with our university. I'd say, the problem that I find annoying and bothers other people most frequently is parking availability. However, I am aware of the limited parking availability of other school that are the same size and their problems tend to be much worse...So, if parking is our worst problem, I'll take it; because it really isn't that bad.

The only thing I don't like about my college is there isn't alot of scholarships I can apply for in my College of Liberal Studies department. I think it is because their isn't alot of alumi support for my department.

I guess the worst thing is when you get a teacher that just doesn't teach well and makes a class that should be pretty basic into something very difficult. Students should know what they're getting into, and if one teacher makes a class significantly harder than another, it is unfair to those students because theire grades will affect their GPA which affects scholarship and admission to other academic programs. There should at least be a level playing field, which means we need a similar level of difficulty among classes that carry the same course number.

Academics trump football and the people in charge don't care about the students.

It is difficult to get involved in extra curriculuar activities such as clubs. If you are not completly sure of your major it is difficult to figure out what club to try to join.

There are so many events that revovle aroung sorority or frat life. To be in a soroity ar OU is expensive and time consuming. Not everyone can afford or has the time to be in one.
