Sarah

Someone who wants the "classic/all-American" college experience--Football is a huge deal, the whole town revolves around the university, lots of Oklahoma and Texas people. It's a state school and has some of every type there. Not the place if you want a dominant culture of intellectuals or artists or researchers. Those sub-cultures are there, but it's mostly the average population.

Kalee

Nicholas

To be perfectly frank, I think that any 'kind' can attend this school. I came to OU from a high school in Sacramento almost against my will. When I arrived, I was the only person that I knew in the state and I had beliefs that were counter to those of most of OU's population. Assimilating was difficult, but after my first three semesters I have built a niche that justifies my attendance. If I can find people who care about the things that I care about even though I started completely from scratch, then anybody can do that.

Michael

In truth, I do not think one has to be a specific genre of a person to be happy at this school. The students and faculty welcome any and everyone in to make it become their new home and the University seems to take pride in that. The friendly environment makes the University as welcoming as it can be and I think thats why no person has to be a certain way to enjoy themselves.

Jasmine

I believe any type of person can attend the University of Oklahoma. There are so many campus organizations that it is nearly impossible not to find something you are interested in.

Emerald

I thing various people can attend this school. When you walk down the south or north oval you see all kinds of people. Hippies preps gangstas athletic kids as well as several different kinds of races from all over the world. I don't think there is a certain kind of person that should be attending this school. If you had only on type of person that has the same track of mind.. not only would that be a boring school but, how would students learn to their full potential no one would be ther to challenge them.

Heraclio

A person that is willing to go the extra mile to get things done. Someone that knows that they will have to work hard and study hard in order to get the full OU experiance. Being able to communicate not only with teachers, but with students of all backgrounds.

Savannah

The people who SHOULD attend are those who want to get the most out of their education. The type of people who are actually there are spoiled, rich kids who only care about greek life and football. Rarely do you find someone who thinks towards the future or has to work to support themselves. Kids don't reach out to one another; everyone is self-absorbed or only cares about making greek friends. It was difficult in the beginning but now that I'm married, it's EXTREMELY rare that anyone new will talk to me.

Amanda

Any kind of person! This school has a very diverse student body, although it is in a traditonally conservative state. However, I do not feel there is much discrimination on campus and everybody is very friendly. This school is particularly excellent for sports fans.
