First
of all i will start off by saying that i
am a freshman and that I am not in the
class of 2011, but '13 was not an option so
i picked the closest one. Second of all, I love
the university and the people here so instead of just
ranting, I will offer all you high-school seniors/ transfer students
some advice. If you are not social and/or outgoing, this
is probably not the place for you. Everyone is very
friendly and especially the first weekend, it pays off big
to be as outgoing as possible and meet everyone that
you can. The party scene is awesome. period. If you're
not into it, it is a little harder to find
things to do, but the town and university offer some
fun alternatives to getting hammered all weekend. In fact, they're
quite desperate to keep students away from alcohol and require
you to complete a mind numbing 6+ hour AlcoholEdu online
course and listen to the dean rant during orientation about
how strict they are about drinking and how “this is
a new OU”. Do not believe this for a second,
or anything else they tell you at orientation for that
matter; especially about Learning Communities. As an undecided student, they
force this abomination of a class onto your schedule and
make you take a “cluster” of classes that almost always
have nothing to do with your major or even your
interests, forcing you to wake up early and waste time
learning things that you will never use. To make matters
worse, there is a one credit hour class that is
bundled in with this that meets two hours a week
and overloads you with busy-work. I am not exaggerating when
i say that sitting through this two hour hell-hole of
a class borders on being physically painful. It seriously is
as if the administration sat down and made a list
of all the obnoxious aspects of high school and middle
school and combined them into a class that they hail
as the best thing since sliced bread. As if it
couldn't get any worse, these classes are taught almost solely
by condescending graduate students who share a mental delusion that
makes them confuse their class with first grade nap time.
I literally spent 2 straight hours playing “the name game”
during the classes' first meeting while contemplating dropping out to
sell meth. You have probably heard that the food is
awful and the rumors are true. The only thing i
can even stomach is the cheeseburger and french fries, which
still makes me feel like i swallowed a bowling ball.
The “grab n' go” is an absolute disaster, at least
on south green. Aside from the dreaded learning communities, the
classes so far have been okay, but freshman english comp
can be overwhelming at time. The RAs and police are
pretty cool as long as you're not doing anything stupid
like walking around with an open beer or pissing in
public. As for the greek life, it doesn't dominate, but
its a major plus to be in a fraternity/sorority. Although
some of them are douche bags/date rapists, they are mostly
friendly just like the rest of the campus. One last
thing: music/file sharers be warned: if you do so much
as open a p2p file sharing program or torrent on
your computer, your internet will be shut off completely. I
recommend OU highly and throughly enjoy my time here aside
from a few grievances. DO NOT JOIN A LEARNING COMMUNITY!
