University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

The huge emphasis on the greek system. I did not pledge a sorority and felt very left out as the entire social life and student government is run by the greek system. I also wish I would've known more about the scholarships available and how to get involved in the honors system. I quickly learned these things once I arrived at college, but it would've made my college experience a lot better if I'd known to take advantage of these things early before it was too late.

I wish I had known what I wanted to do. I received two degrees and I am now only pursuing one. of those subjects.

That I should be more engaging to fellow students and organizations.

I wish that I had known how the education program is structured before I came to OU. I also wish that I had known how often plans and policies change. If you are going into early childhood education make sure you can go full time once you get to your sequence or you will have a lot of trouble graduating.

I wish I had known that OU does not care for its students, but rahter likes to focus on graduating people to make money off of them. The football program, typically, rules campus life, and getting wasted is more important than your work. People's lack of motivation and knowledge from the begging makes it difficult to achieve positive things at OU, unless one gets involved in the greek system or off-campus activity. Going to school here, one's priority lies not in the classes but what happens outside of them.

Unemployment is low in Oklahoma. It is difficult to find a decent part-time job.

I wish I knew more people before coming here, but I met a lot of cool people and I've made friendships that I hope will last forever.

Growing up in a poor, small town, I knew nothing about fashion or expensive things. I would have fit in faster had I known what was "in". I figured it out pretty fast, though.

How to prepare myself better for the department I am in. I wish I could have done a little more research before entering in the classes I am enrolled in.

Where all of the coffee machines were at and the bathrooms.

I wished I knew how much money it would require out of me to attend this university. I had the impression that I will not being using a ton of loans to cover the cost of my tuition.

I wish that I would have known better study techniques. I think that each high school should have an hour dedicated to study techniques and the proper way to study during a student's junior and senior year. Also, I think that the schools should focus more on writing for every subject not just English.

The possibilities and great people that I would meet here!
