<p>Hey! Man I am so Pumped for OCU! Oh By the way:
Who all is going to the June 12th stars 101 dealy ma bober?</p>
<p>For new OCU students, I think your email accounts are set up by now. Which means you are able to join facebook. To check your OCU email, just go here: <a href="http://email.okcu.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://email.okcu.edu/</a> . Your username is the first initial of your first name combined with your full last name with a <a href="mailto:.stu@okcu.edu">.stu@okcu.edu</a> added. So if your name was Angelia Jones your email would be:</p>
<p><a href="mailto:ajones.stu@okcu.edu">ajones.stu@okcu.edu</a></p>
<p>Of course, if there is more than one "ajones" then there'd be a number added after the .stu, depending upon how many there are.</p>
<p>Your password is your social security number.</p>

<p>Come meet some OCU kids.</p>
<p>I don't mean to intrude on your class of '10 thread, I just wanted to welcome y'all to OCU! I just finished my first year as MT & I loved it! If you haven't already gone to Stars 101, you should request to stay overnight in the dorm. Last year they had all the music majors on the same floor of Walker, & we had a sort of party in the lobby & got to know each other. It was a blast! If anyone has any questions, feel free to e-mail me at <a href="mailto:lbaker.stu2@okcu.edu">lbaker.stu2@okcu.edu</a>, or facebook me. I'd be happy to help in any way I can! Have a great summer, everyone!

P.S. This is "musicmom1215"'s daughter.</p>
<p>Also, don't mean to intrude...but wanted to let you know that if you are unable to attend STARS 101 (as my d was last year due to distance), you will do dance leveling and piano placement during your freshman orientation week in August, as well as learn everything you need to know (and eat a ton of food as well!). If you have any questions about the school or MT program, I am sure my d would be glad to answer your questions. You can e-mail her at <a href="mailto:ajordan.stu@okcu.edu">ajordan.stu@okcu.edu</a>.</p>
<p>I have a question
are there any other pictures or other Multimedia of OCU shows around besides the 3 set of pic on the OCU website?
Thanks!</p>
<p>I don't know of any other "official" pictures, but students in the shows always have plenty up on facebook. :o)
Jill (musicmom's d actually logged in this time, hehe)</p>

<p>I am a Psychology Major from Kansas City originally from Chicago</p>
<p>Hi to all parents and OCU 06-07 Freshman performance majors. My daughter, Kara, is a freshman MT major. I was wondering if anyone had chosen to sign up for the fixed tuition plan at OCU. The deadline for this is rapidly approaching (8/1/06) and just wanted to hear other parents' opinions on this. Also, it would be great to meet other parents at orientation the week of 8/14/06. Please PM me if you are interested in doing so. We live in the Chicago area so I'm a bit nervous at dropping her off; she is the youngest in the family. She heard from her roommate yesterday (a dance performance major) even though her roommate assignment letter hasn't arrived yet. She is excited about that. Only three more weeks, agghh! We're still buying lots of stuff. I'd like to hear also if anyone has chosen to purchase the Macbook package offered by Apple to OCU students. We have not done so but are considering it. Last of all, any current OCU students that might be able to chime in and tell us about the first audition process, expectations, etc would be much appreciated. </p>

<p>My D is a returning sophomore MT major. She elected to purchase the computer package, although she already has a Dell laptop. Now she will have two. I will let her or OCUMTINFO tell you about auditions. They know much more about that than I do. I do know auditions start the first day of classes, and your D will be able to sign up for a time. She also will have choir auditions right away for placement in one of the choirs. She will be so busy the first few weeks, she won't have time to be homesick. My D is the oldest and the first to leave home, but after three very positive visits to OCU, I felt very comfortable with her choice of schools. She loves it there.</p>

<p>Jordansmom and Musicmom, HI!
My son will be a MT freshman at OCU. It is my understanding that all MT majors are required to have the Apple, and we found the package the school offered to be the best deal so we got it. I know my son has several questions about the audition process, maybe he could hook up the musicmom's D via the internet? He's our first to go away to college and I have some real dumb questions that I'm too embarassed to ask, help?
Rusty
P.S.
I'd love to meet some of the CCer's at orientation.</p>
<p>Hey Carole...</p>
<p>My d is a dance management major and also just received her roommate assignment by e-mail. She is living in Banning with a theater performance major from Nebraska. They've had fun "talking" through the internet. My d is our last one too...I know how you feel. I will be at orientation from Sunday...leaving on Wednesday.</p>
<p>We didn't really see a downside to signing the fixed tuition. After having two other children go through college, we never saw tuition go down..only up. Since many of the scholarships are also fixed...academic and talent...it made sense to us.</p>
<p>Because my d is a dance management major (basically a dance performance/entertainment business double major) they recommended a pc environment. The Macbook package...I think....is just for Wanda Bass School of Music. We bought a laptop...and a lock! Four girls share one bathroom..and you just can't be too careful. </p>
<p>Dance leveling is on Wednesday. I obviously don't know any more than that.</p>
<p>Check your pms....</p>
<p>Susan</p>
<p>Jordansmom, hi! We went to the Macintosh website & bought a bit more memory and did not buy some of the optional stuff (case, etc, which we already had). We've been a PC family until now.
Re fixed tuition - we signed up, and our bill went up! somehow I missed that in the fine print...
Have Kara look up Mary-E (frosh MT). She and a 'regular' music major from Georgia will be in Banning 309. me personal e is <a href="mailto:sdimon@alltel.net">sdimon@alltel.net</a>.
cheers!
Sandy</p>
<p>So is anyone interested in doing some sort of OCU CC students/family get-together during orientation week?</p>
<p>I think it would be great....I've talked to a couple of cc'ers. Because my D is in Honors, we will get there on Sunday....I'll be leaving Wednesday Morning. Everyone, whatever major, has some kind of orientation on Tuesday...</p>
<p>Let me know if there is interest. And we can exchange e-mail/cell phones. You all have been such a great source of information and support... and I thank you again!</p>
