Go into OU or any major university and treat it like a job because it is. If you're attitude is too much about playing, you will not be around long. Recommend that 1st and 2nd year students stay in a dorm so that you can be immersed in the educational experience with like minded people. OU's degrees (I have two BS degrees, Microbiology and Chemical Engineering) are serious achievements that take hard work and the effort pays off in career opportunities and self confidence.

I am probably above average intelligence but had to work very hard with lots of study and long hours. Budget 1 to 2 hours of study time per 1 hour in class and there will be spikes that go well beyond this time investment, especially in the Junior and Senior level classes. Interestingly enough, I took a number of Graduate engineering classes and they were lower effort than my senior level classes.

Be aware that a number of entry level classes in the science and engineering curreculums are really designed to cull down the numbers of students that move forward in the program. I took one entry level engineering class for example that started with 50 students and there were about 15 or 20 students left at the end of the class. You must survive these classes even if you think your head is going to blow up.

Horrendous University.

Grades were obviously handed out by a blind man playing pin-the-tail on the donkey. Loved it when friends would be in the same clases, turn in the same homework, put the same answers on exams, yet always get different grades.

Despite being advise to take ~14 hrs that did not apply to my major, or the fact that the professors rarely made their office hours, Or the fact that my advisor even advised me into a class he taught, then dropped me for not having the pre-reqs (borking my financial aid), I ended hiring an attorney ($6k) to get my diploma from the bastards. This was the most dishonest, non-professional experience I have ever been in in my life. From professors lying to the administrative court (which was easily dis-proven) to the complete lack of thinking through workload given to the students.

One lesson learned. If you attend a University ALWAYS research it graduation rate, this simple statistic should tell you quite a bit about the quality of the institution you are thinking of attending.

Not so bright
This school focuses wayyyy 2 much on football. I love football but I came here for an education and after I graduate I'm really afraid my OU degree won't get me far. We focus so much on the UT OU rivarly when in reality they are a way better school academically and have even beaten us in football the last couple of years. I'm from Plano and I really wish i would have gone someplace else.
