How are all of your new Bobcats doing so far? My son is really enjoying OU and Athens. Every time we talk he makes a point to tell me that he is definitely in the right place. Being from out of state (MA), I expected him to be homesick or feel a bit left out by all those who already know other students. But as far as I can tell that has not happened, and he is really loving his classes at Scripps (as well as both the Communications Living and Learning communities–I’m so glad I pushed those).
Honestly I can’t wait for parents weekend. We all are so happy with OU.
We are closer, in Ohio, about 2 1/2 hours away? and visited our D over Labor Day. She had gone on the New a Adventures rock climbing trip the week before school started. We needed to pick up some of the gear she took. She is really enjoying herself and has friends from the trip, from dance and that she’s met through others. We asked her if she wanted to come home over the long weekend in October or for her birthday and she said that she really hadn’t thought about it as she really enjoyed being on campus. It’s still early but so far she loves it!
@lvvcsf and @zipstermom I just posted (lengthy on our original thread about OU vs OSU or Miami), so I won’t bore you recapping it, but the net is our son LOOOOVES it here, has called it his home, has a great academic social and athletic life. I actually don’t think that I’ve ever seen him seem as happy and mature. I’m so glad he found this school and it looks like a great fit. Glad to hear that your kids are liking it too!
1st Semester is over and it’s been a good semester. D worked hard, did well, enjoyed her majors and made friends. She is glad the semester is over and to be home. She is glad to be a Bobcat. Don’t forget to apply for current student scholarships. I think they are due February 1. Have a wonderful Holiday Season.
S had a good semester and did remarkably well (except for Stats which he is glad to have behind him!). He loves OU and can’t wait to go back. Really I think if he could pack up the day after Christmas, he’d do it. I however am thrilled to have him home and think break will just fly by.
Thanks @lvvcsf for the reminder on the scholarship app–we need to get to that in the next day or two.
