Super Brilliant
I've had a really great experience with the chemical engineering department here. My professors are all very friendly and funny. A few have English as their second language, but I find them all to be intelligible. Students at the university are in general very concerned with theology, especially Christian theology. I do sometimes feel a bit outcast because I am not Christian, but if I generally avoid the topic I have no problem. Some campus organizations are much less organized than I would like, so you have to go out of your way to join certain organizations. The alumni are very involved in the department, and we receive a lot of funding, so scholarships are pretty commonly achieved.

OU is a good school and you can get a quality education here, but you have to look for the right classes and the right professors. It's very easy to float through on "easy A" classes and finish with a degree, but no education to speak of. However, if you want to take challenging, insightful classes with brilliant professors, they exist, but you might have to do some asking around. On a social note, people here are friendly and Norman is a decent town given the surrounding area.

There are pro's and con's to this university.
Pros:
- Well-recognized school, although for athletics, not too much for academics.
- BEAUTIFUL campus
-
Cons:
- Professors and TA's are hit-and-miss. Some really care, and some don't give a crap and treat you like a number.

- School is a bit too engaged in athletics for my taste. I love football, don't get me wrong, but you tend to see all the new facilities go to athletics.

- Out-of-state tuition is ridiculous if you ask me. 25k for a state school is too much, and scholarships are not as easy to get as prospective student services makes them out to be.

-Academic advisers are horrible. Make sure you look over what they advise you to do. They have been known to advise you into a class you don't need. Also, when you get into upper level classes, you will find that they fill up REALLY quick, and you end up stuck refreshing your browser waiting for someone to drop the course.

Advice:
DON'T JUST TAKE A TOUR OF THE CAMPUS AND DECIDE TO COME HERE. Sit in on a class for a while and see what the university is like through a students eyes, not just what they want you to see.Don't get me wrong, I do like going here. Norman's a cool town, the campus is beautiful, and the athletics department makes Fall semesters really fun. The academics in the business school are decent, Would I go somewhere else if I had to do it over again? Probably.
