University of Oklahoma Norman Campus Visit Report by desigirl0017

Visit Activities:

Information Session: Yes - The information session was pretty informative but it seemed slightly rushed. The person showing us the slideshow skipped like 15 slides!

Campus Tour: Yes - Campus tour was great, we saw a dorm showroom and went around all of campus. Learned about the history of campus too! The only issue was that it was really hot, but we couldn't control that.

Campus:

---

My visit was during the summer so student interaction was limited. But the tour guide was a student and he was friendly and answered any questions!

---

The information session was done by a member of the staff and it seemed rushed, but still pretty informative.

---

The OU campus in Norman is beautiful, green grass, trees, flowers everywhere. The buildings are well kept as well, new buildings as well as old.

---

The campus is very clean and they have recycling baskets everywhere.

---

The dorms were sized fairly for a dorm room and they have different options for setups and such. As well as an opportunity to choose between suites and community dorms.

---

The campus felt safe and there were emergency phones everywhere.

---

OU is a great school but since it is a state school, many people already know each other and such. So it can be slightly clique-y. But other than that, it's a great school!

---

Off-Campus:

---

Norman is an awesome city and there is a lot to do. Oklahoma City is just 20 minutes away and there is a lot to do in the city as well.

---

Overall, the university is a great place and so is the town that it is in.

Campus Visit Notes for University of Oklahoma Norman Campus

Visit Description:

My visit to campus was great, but it was a really hot day so it wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been. It's a Big 12 school so sports are very big and when there is football, the whole university--the whole town even--participate in the festivities. Sororities and Fraternities are pretty big too. Since it's a State College, many people in the State of Oklahoma go there so many people know each other, which immediately leads to the sort of clique-y atmosphere. My tour guide was pretty good except other than showing us the buildings and telling us ghost stories, he didn't talk about much else but he was really enthusiastic about OU which was great. Overall, my experience at OU was great!
