The University of Oklahoma - OU (reviews)

The Good: What I liked about the school was that the professors came to German to teach the in person portion of the class. They brought real world knowledge and book skills to each of the classrooms. The professionals allowed students to express their opinions, no matter if they agreed or disagreed with the student. The flexibility of degree program allowed me to feel like I was part of the learning process, and not part of a diploma mill. I was constantly challenged by my professors and fellow students, but was done in a respectable way.
The Bad: I didn’t care for the online portion, at first. There was a bit of a learning curve which made it difficult. Once I figured out the Blackboard system, after a few failures, it became less difficult. I had difficulty with 1 particular class because I didn’t agree with the professor politically. My grade suffered, and my 4.0 GPA was brought down to a 3.95. Another professor was difficult to reach, and many of the answers to her tests could be found on Quizlet. This was a bit disappointing, because I was hoping for a challenge. The book didn’t match up with the tests, but I found that this happened only in 1 class.
The Ugly: I would highly recommend this school because the majority of the professors and staff were helpful and understood the challenge of balancing real life with college. Their support even made me want to pursue a second Master’s degree here, but unfortunately, they no longer offer the same program at the military bases. If I lived in Oklahoma, I would gladly move there to enroll in the doctorate program or earn another Master’s degree.

The campus of the University of Oklahoma is incredibly stunning, with its captivating architecture and vibrant student life. Choosing this university as my top pick has been a decision I’m grateful for. Overall, my experience here has been delightful. The residence halls have connected me with a community of individuals I cherish spending time with. Moreover, my classes have been intellectually stimulating, striking a balance between challenging me to grow and being manageable to succeed in.

The campus offers a wide range of dining choices and excellent accommodation. It is reasonably affordable and offers support in locating scholarships and financial advisors to help students manage their finances. My overall experience has been far more positive than I anticipated, and I am completely satisfied with my decision to enroll at OU.

Honestly, I was not expecting to enjoy the University of Oklahoma (OU), but I ended up falling in love with it. Your college experience at OU largely depends on what you invest in it. While it was sometimes challenging to build friendships and step out of my comfort zone, the university offers numerous clubs and opportunities to engage with new people. As a psychology major at the University of Oklahoma, I firmly believe that the professors and the quality of education surpass those of any other university psychology program. This enables students to connect with professionals globally and fosters personal growth. In terms of academics, I find that professors are highly accessible to students, and there are abundant resources available to support academic achievement.
