Hello i am an incoming freshman at Ou and i have been assigned to Couch Center and it says Community: scholastic and i dont know what that means. Does anyone know what that means. Im hoping it doesn’t mean I’m on a study floor or something.
Here is how the Scholastic Community is described on the OU Housing website:
Scholastic - A community where students self-identify that they are interested in an academic focused life. Academics are important and each community will develop community guidelines that reflect that goal.

Did you indicate “Scholastic” as one of your choices when you filled out your Housing Contract?
my mom filled it out but i dont know what it means. is it different than the normal dorm floors
just saw the link. so is it only one gender on each floor for scholastic
My guess is it’s quieter. Go to the link and read about the different specialty floors. You can also log in to your Star Rez account and see what your mom ranked as your dorm preference. Did you talk to her about it?
she told me that she put co ed freshman as priority but supposedly you had to put backups and that is what was my backup so i guess coed was full?
Yes. They go by the date of when the Housing Contract was submitted and the deposit paid. The earlier that stuff is done, the more likely the first choice is granted.
okay thanks for the help
You’re welcome! Remember: give it a chance (your dorm situation). It’s highly likely you will end up loving it.
What are you concerned about with respect to the scholastic dorm? You can easily intermingle with the opposite sex.
