University of Tulsa Top Questions

I think it is important that students don't believe all the hype the university has. Many people believe that they will come to TU and be in tiny classes that allow exhaustive discussion. If you believe this you will be disappointed. Also be aware that TU does not have a very good relationship with those living in the surrounding neighborhood, which has caused an extreme increase in theft on campus over the last few years.

I kind of wish it were a bigger school so everyone didn't know each other, & maybe the parties would be bigger.

Couldn't ask for a better experience. College and state shools are great. But this school is unique, dominate, and humble all in one. If you want to have fun and get educated youdo that anywhere. If you want to have fun, get educated, and experience something completely different then come to TU. Had a great time and wouldn't change it for anything.

If there is any concerns/ improvements that should be brought to attention, the faculty has no problem addressing them. In fact, the business college holds focus groups twice a semester to address the problems of its students. They do try their best to work them out so that everyone is happy. TU was ranked 9th university for the happiest students.

Even though I sometimes feel that my chosen department is somewhat lacking, or the food in the cafeteria tastes like bland dog food, coming to TU was absolutely the best decision I have ever made in my entire life. I just hope that the amazing experiences I had at TU stay with me for the rest of my life and influence everything I do.

I have been disappointed in the administration of TU, but my guess is that it's pretty much the same everywhere. I have considered transferring, but the quality of the Presidential scholarship I get here, as well as some of the fantastic faculty I have worked with, make it worth all the BS.

We are a wet campus (alcohol allowed). We are one of the only campuses where you can actually buy booze on campus!

Campus is really cool about alcohol. If a fraternity is going to have a big party, they have to register it and provide security. This means that 2 Tulsa police are inside the actual house and one outside with their cars parker right out front. They aren't there to catch underage drinkers: they are there to make sure no one gets out of control or in case of emergency. Campus as a whole is really good about letting college kids be kids but still maintaining safety and good communications.

I love TU and I wish more people knew about it! I have one year left but so far I have had a phenomenal education and met some truly amazing people!

TU's a place to get a great education. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you're looking for your typical college experience, I'd look somewhere else. People here tend to be too busy to live that college lifestyle you always hear about. If you want a school that will give you an edge in whatever industry you're looking at and want a school that will help you into that great career when you're done, this could be it.
