University of Tulsa Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Tulsa accurate?

Jessica

No. We are definitely not all rich. TU awards a lot of great scholarships that allow many students to go there. There are a lot of white individuals, but certainly not all.

Tiffany

Kind of, yes. Students at TU care about their grades. If we were all placed at OU or OSU, we would probably be nerdy, but since everybody here studies, it's not weird. Students here know how to have fun, too. And yes, a lot of students come from wealthy families but everybody I know is still getting financial aid.

Reese

yes and no. you do get those country types every so often, but in general, everyone is pretty urbanized.

Mike

To some degree, there are a lot of students from Oklahoma, and faith is a part of the campus.

Amy

The academic culture at TU is definitely challenging, but the University supports all of its students with services like the Center for Student Academic Support (CSAS) and an outstanding faculty. Tuition is high because it is a private institution, but most students receive some sort of financial aid.

Megan

NO, every student I met and have met from TU is a wonderful person who has many experiences to share! Also, you are never going to be the smartest or best at anything but as a freshmen the older students can be intimadating but they all help you and teach you if you'll ask!!!

the university has taken great strides since then to build new apartments and a new gym to encourage on-campus life. TU is really coming along in the process of developing a strong, enthusiastic student body.

Megan

For the most part, the students I encountered at TU were fairly bright. Of course, you get your share of not-so-shiny kiddos.
