<p>Yesterday, I traveled to OU with the family to tour OU. My D1 and I visited weeks ago but we wanted the rest of the family to see the campus. I arrived around 0900 to find a large crowd (several thousands) of students gathered, the band playing and eventually a cannon being fired. We were IMPRESSED to say the least. Probably the worse part of the visit was the recreation center. It is in desperate need of improvement to reach the quality of the better campuses out there like Ohio State and University of Iowa. We will be back for a summer or fall visit before deciding. The area around Norman was also nice and safe.</p>
