University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

I wish I had known more about the financial aid opportunities. If I had known, I would have been able to apply for more scholarships and that would have helped me pay for the expenses rather than having to come out of pocket and relying on loans.

That I would not be elligible for much financial aid, since I'm a non-resident.

That I was more educated about the types of scholarships available.

When I came to OU, I soon realized that I didn't really know how to study! I wish that I had been taught how to study in a collegiate setting. Also, college was a little overwhelming for me because I moved from a tiny town to a place where I had more sorority sisters than people in my high school. While both of these situations required some work and adjustment, I quickly felt at home at the University of Oklahoma, due to a great staff, committed professors, and a welcoming environment that allows you to make friends quickly.

People suck just as bad here as they do in high school

I wish I knew to join a campus group like a fraternity, sorority, campus club, or sports team right away. It helps you meet people and get involved with new people right away.

What I had wanted to major in.

That you don't have to buy all the books they tell you to... and there are cheaper places than the bookstore. Also, all of the "fees" that are added on to tuition.

I wish I had known how friendly the President Boren was/is! He is incredibly accessible and ready to help!

I wish I had know just how important sports and Greek life are to socializing at OU. It's really hard to get involved if you aren't Greek, and I feel like you have to go out of your way to meet people, because people in sororities/fraterities tend to spend all of their time together.
