University of Tulsa Top Questions

I feel like I'm not being challenged enough, most of my classes were fairly easy during my first semester, but I manage to challenge myself during my sencond semester at The University of Tulsa by taking higher level classes.

The advising office/enrollment process

School spirit is nonexistent.

The most frustrating thing is trying to find times to eat since the cafeteria is not open all the time.

It has been difficult ensuring continuation, though The University of Tulsa is a wonderful school, it is quite pricy and tuition goes up the longer you are there. I have been on my own paying bills and feeding myself, though I have been blessed to live at home, the whole time I have attended and it is almost impossible every semester to come up with the dividend between my scholarships and tuition. I would say to plan your expenses well and apply for as many scholarships as possible, do not put it off.

It can be difficult to get on campus apartments. Dorm life is sometimes slow.

I wouldn't say there is anything truly frustrating about TU, but if I were to choose something, it would be the amount of block courses we are expected to take. It's not a large amount, but it's like choosing certain electives from categories. We get a choice, but it is still somewhat narrow.

My university has one of the most expensive tuitions I have come across, at $40,000 a year. Finding scholarships and working to pay for it all has probably been the most frustrating part about this school. However, the education I am receiving and the experiences I've had here have been absolutely worth the hard work, and I wouldn't prefer any other campus over this one. The opportunities I have here, job-wise, education-wise, and friend-wise, have outweighed the frustrations I have come up against. A little hard work never hurt anyone.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Tulsa is that some prospective students may not have the ability to attend because of the level of financial commitment required. While I understand that this is normal for an institution that has such high standards for academic achievement and success, it is frustrating to know that there are people who believe that the University of Tulsa would best equip them with the skills needed to succeed professionally and personally but are not able to attend for financial reasons.

The work load combined with having a job, so gives less time to relax. Plus I am a commuter and would like to see some more accomodations for that group.
