<p>Transportation around campus is pretty good. It’s pretty walkable except to a few obscure locations. It’s even easier if you bike. I don’t know if there are many buses to the city. I know you can take Greyhound and stuff, but I’ve never heard of an OU sponsored bus (doesn’t mean there isn’t one though).</p>
<p>The meal plan works like this: you can choose from a certain number of meals (6/8/10/12) per week. The fewer meals you choose per week, the more “points” you have. Points can be used to purchase meals at restaurants around campus and at places like Starbucks. Meal exchanges can be used at Couch, Cate, and the Union (only after 2:00 in the Union though). The different meal plans are fairly similar in value, but I think the more meals you get, the more you get for your money. However, the more points you have, the more flexible you are. I think most freshman choose either 8 or 10 meals per week and feel like that was the right decision.</p>
<p>I actually wouldn’t say the campus is a great running campus, unfortunately. I ran pretty competitively in high school and am affiliated with the cross country and track programs here. Campus has decent paths for short runs (3-4 miles), but for longer runs, you’ll definitely want to drive somewhere else. There are a number of good sites within a 20 minute drive though for your 8+ mile runs. For a casual runner, I’d say campus is likely sufficient, but could get boring after a few months of consistent running.</p>
