University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

That we're all here only for Football...we ALL love our team but that's the least of our priorities at school!

For my response to this, check out- What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

OU's students are snobbish and spoiled (in-state stereotype). OU is nothing but a football school (out-of-state stereotype).

OU student stereotypes? Sure, let's list some things that my UT friends like to laugh about. All OU students are 1)hicks who 2)LOVE football and 3)are Greek.

Everyone is a redneck or very country. Everyone is rich. Everyone who's in a frat or sorority are stupid, drunks, blondes, and bitches. Everyone is obsessed with football. Texas people make up most of the students.

Most people see OU students as stuck up, completely focused on money and the greek system.

OU is a good place for Oklahoma residents that are use to it, it is boring, the girls are fucken bitches with their rude, arrogant, bitchy cocky attitude. The OU guys are ugly as fuck. People over their can be racist to you if your middle eastern or of some descent related to not being white. I had a okay room-mate that was a bitch who was always trying to compete with me, so i moved out as quick as Adrian Peterson runs the 40 dash yard line in 4.2 seconds hahahha

we KNOW we are better than sexat and osu, we don't party because it's a dry campus

The stereotypes about OU is that it is a school where many are stuck up and it is all about Greek life.

I think some feel the people are snobby or pretentious but really I think one should try to get to know their fellow students and then make judgements. While those types of people exist on our campus, just as they do everywhere else, they are not the majority. I would honestly urge each person to be as open minded as possible. I'm possible this will lead to great results.

We're all hicks.

Rich, stuck-up, snobby, upper-class, unfriendly, greek

I had heard that they were rich and snobby

That we are only sorority girls, frat boys and football obsessed.

OU is probably stereotyped as hick central and low level intelligence

I can't really think of too many stereotypes, but thats probably because I am just used to OU. OU and UT fans are born to hate eachother apparently, and coming from Dallas I got a lot of grief from both people in Oklahoma and Texas. I think some consider OU a party school that is big on greek life, some even believe that if you aren't greek you're nobody.

greek scene is overbearing; nothing else to do; middle of nowhere; all we care about is football

Probably that we are cocky or rude.

Very intellegent graduate students.

You see every thing...Some people are from the small towns in far off Oklahoma. Everyone is fairly easy to get along with. No one seems really too different from any where else. I have lived in several states and grew up in three different university towns-two in Ohio(Athens/Cincinnati) and here. There are probably more conservatives here in the Bible Belt, but I have always met up with plenty of liberal types as well! Over the years the people I have met here are any where from country to sophisticated and everything in between. One interesting genre here is the real live Indians you see. Driving on campus one evening before dusk three Indians were sitting in a circle beating on drums and I think I heard chanting. That only happened once for me. The language department offers classes in various Indian tribe dialect.
