06. Student Body

What students say:

OKCUs community of students is incredibly welcoming and supportive. Most have a love for the arts and are progress-oriented. Another large portion of the student population is involved in university athletics, including international students. There is so much talent here, says one student. You hear music from everywhere or someone rehearsing their dialogue for their plays. Students praise the great deal of diversity across religion, culture, and age-range. Older students with families should know that they would never be discouraged from bringing their children on campus after class, or even to class.

08. Campus Life

What students say:

Students at OKCU love the beautiful campus and an environment that provides support and love from students and faculty alike. Students enjoy the dedication to Greek life, are generally involved in multiple extracurricular activities and organizations on campus, and otherwise fulfill the promise of the schools nickname, Over Committed University. These commitments, however, are usually drawn on passion, and students often put in extra work to help each other. One student says we are extremely supportive of one another, and we often collaborate on multi-cultural and artistic projects. On weekends, students explore the growing city and its restaurants, bars, and parks. On campus, theres always a multicultural event, speaker, or some type of performance going on and people also love to socialize outside our marketplace, Alvins. Additionally, the student government often hosts bashes, carnivals, and get-togethers for all students throughout the year.
