OU vs OK State - Campus vibe

My family visited both OU and OK State. They have very different atmospheres. It’s difficult to choose. Both have pros and cons. If you considered attending both, and the quality of the your specific major are about the same at each school, what it was about each one that made you prefer (or dislike) one college over the other?

My son considered both for Mechanical Engineering for which I would say they are very comparable, and scholarships were very similar. For him, it came down to Norman (esp. proximity to a larger city) vs rural Stillwater, distance to the airport (we are OOS), and the incredible facilities at OU for the engineering competition teams (race car, off -road, robotics, concrete canoe etc). Maybe OSU has something similar but he had a personal tour of the engineering campus at OU.

Thanks.
