University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus Top Questions

Students and their parents that are looking at schools should look at every school as if it was their only choice. In that way, each school is looked at objectively. I would not pick a school because they have a good sports team. A student should know what they think they want to go into and look at that particular department at the universities that they are considering. If you have not decided on a major you should look at all of the departments that you are considering. Parents should respect what their student wants, but at the same time students should remember that their parents only want what is best for them. Make the decision together and do not get upset if you have differing opinions. Remember that there are a lot of wonderful schools out there and that, generally speaking, everyone can find a school that is a good fit for them and their needs. Be critical and do not jump to any conclusions, remember that you will spend four or more years of your life at this school and it will dictate your future.

Make sure to attend a college that makes you feel at home, rather than a college that seems like a logical choice. It may sound crazy, but if you aren't happy with the choice you made for college, achieving within college is not only difficult, but at times can seem downright impossible.

Make sure you can afford it! I don't think it would be worth it if the education is financialy over ones head!

It doesn't matter the price, it doesn't matter where your friends are. Go where you beleive you can grow, where you feel comfortable, and where you get along with the locals.

It doesn't matter where you go, or how far your college reality is from what you anticipated. As long as you don't sell it short, you'll have a great time. There are so many opportunities to be had.

Take your time and really spend some time at the college you are interested in before you make your decision. Don't be fooled by how pretty it is or how much fun it seems to be to go there. There is a lot more to college than that, and it's important to be comfortable with where you end up going.

Try to get involved and if possible live on campus your first year, dorms are not always the best places to live, but it does help you to meet people. Try to find a school that matches your personality, i picked the school I did because its the only thing in town, I did not want to go to a school in the middle of a big city, and so this school works for me.

Find a fun college with lots of opportunity and a great education.
