I'm a non-traditional student, so I'll avoid discussing the social aspects of the school, which really don't matter to me one way or another, and instead focus on the academics, particularly within my own major, Petroleum Engineering.

The Petroleum Engineering program is absolutely world-class. OU has one of the largest such programs in the country, and as a result is able to attract a fantastic faculty. The program is challenging, but definitely worthwhile. The school also makes a fantastic effort to connect students to folks working in the industry, so finding a summer internship, co-op, or full-time employment after graduation isn't too difficult (unless, of course, you're barely squeaking by with a sub-3.0 GPA). All in all, I would highly recommend the Petroleum Engineering program at OU to anyone who is interested the field.

As for all the negative comments that are posted here, take them with a grain of salt. If you'll notice, most of the folks that are crying and otherwise leaving negative comments are random liberal arts majors who are only going to college for the social experience rather than to gain a meaningful, useful education.

OU is what you make of it…
