University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

It's expensive

Sometimes, you will get a teachers assistant instead of a professor and he or she may be working on thier disseration or be busy with other things which causes them to be less caring about the class and that is frustrating since we pay good amounts of money and therefor should be taught well.

No interaction.

I can't find any bad thing about OU. There's spirit and fun, the classes are amazing. The only thing you'll ever have to deal with is dinner at the caf - it's always full!

The tuition is high as well as room and board costs.

The worst thing about my school is the the size of some of the general education courses. The university does a good job of keeping the majority of class sizes small making it easy for students and professors to form relationships. However the large classes make it difficult to form this relationship.

I would consider the stereotyping and segregation among OU students to be the worst thing about the school. There is a large divide between Greek and non-Greek students. This segregation (caused by steretyiping on both sides) causes disunity among students and creates a tention between the students based on their group affiliations.

I understand that being at a big university may have a more research based curriculum, but I still don't agree with huge lecture classes for some of the more difficult subjects. It's harder to learn in an environment that doesn't have one to one teaching methods.

The worst thing about my school would be the parking. It can take up to thirty minutes to find a parking spot. Many students are late to activities or class because of this delay.

The worst thing about the school is that it's very bureaucratic in the way it operates. In some ways this can be a good thing because the school has a lot of students. However, sometimes this can slow down a process. For example, if you want to get a permit to post fliers for a student organization you have to submit an application to do so and then the application must be approved. This means the student organization has to plan ahead if they want to advertise for an event since it takes time to get the application approved.
