University of Tulsa Top Questions

Most of the time.

This is completely untrue.

Yes there are some but there are also a lot of people that are nerdy but you would never know

We're an amazing group of students from all-over, and quite forward thinking. We maybe a little more into some of the "down-home" activities than other liberal arts schools on the coasts, like hunting, fishing, camping, and other outdoors-y activities, but that doesn't mean we don't enjoy the exact same things as bigger liberal arts schools. Also, we are well-balanced politically which lends itself to an active environment and the flow of many, many ideas and opinions.

No

The same people who think OU/OSU are heaven on earth fail to realize that the only reason they have this view is because they are focused solely on football. They may have us beat in football (though not by a whole lot), but we would destroy them in any other collegiate category. We are ranked the sixth happiest school in the nation and we are well within the top 100 schools nationally. I'm pretty sure OU and OSU aren't even close to those ranks. Also, we are not just a bunch of rich and/or smart book worms that study all the time. Most people have scholarship or student loans and don't have mommy or daddy paying for all of it. Though we hold academic achievement high, it is not the highest priority. We know that college is a four year opportunity that only comes by once in life and we take every chance to have fun. TU is an amazing social community and isn't so large that you don't know anybody. Whether it's walking to class or going to a student government sponsored concert, every other person you bump in to you will know and have a fun time with.

I do not think they are accurate. I didn't even really have to try to get into school here. I have also known people who go to school here who are not smart.

It is a science school. But the theater, music, and art departments are growing quickly and starting to get some recognition. But there is a large amount of the student body, compared to most college campuses, that is conservative.

Not even close, most active campus I have ever seen. The City of Tulsa is very active and adopts the college, is a great college town and city!

No, actually TU gives great scholarships and there are many students here on full ride scholarships (presidential scholarships).
