Crystal - 05/27/2023

So far there is not anything that has been done poorly. The school has good reviews for my major. I like the multiple options like in person, hybrid and online. Communication has been great so far. I live off campus so do not have a review about off campus living.

Jillian - 04/14/2023

Personally, I have loved USAO so far, as a freshman they have made me extremely comfortable and have let me know all of the opportunities that I have access to. The class sizes are smaller than other college's which I prefer because I get more one on one time with the professor, and they take the time to get to know me.

Chandler - 03/11/2021

The university is a very good school that makes me feel wanted, comfortable, and safe. I can approach any teacher or staff member at any time and they will try and help me the best they can. The school puts the students as their highest priority. The teachers always make sure that their students are prepared and know what is going on.

Chandler - 03/30/2020

An amazing school to continue and advance anyone’s education. The faculty is a talented staff and the class sizes really make you feel like you matter. The sports are very exciting to watch, and the extracurricular activities gets you just as excited. One of the best liberal art school in the nation.

  9. What's unique about your campus?

    Although I am a city girl, and graduated from the largest high school in OKlahoma, I consider the class size as one of the best characteristics of USAO. The norm for general education classes is about 70 students. Within my major I have had classes with less than 10. This allows for a lot more one-on-one attention. The professors know every student by name. All of the students know almost everyone on campus. The professors push to challenge their students because they know what each one is capable of.

  10. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    I would say the cost of living. I just think that it is very expensive to live on campus and for me that s where all my loans go to. I wish also that some of the scholarships were open to every student and not only to those who graduated from an high school in Oklahoma or those who play sports. They should be based on others criterias.

  13. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    I've never been to a campus like this. When I thought of college, I always pictured a chaotic, populous university that always had some kind of crazy frat party going on. I didn't like that image of college. So, when I came to USAO expecting it to be like that, I was given a pleasant surprise. My campus is very laid back and friendly to everyone that enters. Our enrollment is just under 1000 students which feels small but you still meet new people each day. I woudn't trade this for anything.
