Private apartment for prospective student

I as was admitted to a few universities around the country for Petroleum Engineer but i’m deciding to attend OU for fall 2015. So as a transfer student with enough credit I’m Classed as an Upperclassman. I’m coming from NY and I really don’t have any idea about the town ( Norman ). I want to have my own apartment but i don’t want to leave far from the school. How likely i will find a place if i don’t want to leave on campus? How much that would cost me per month? Any advise please.

What’s your price range? Are you looking for a furnished or unfurnished place? How many apartmentmates, if any do you want? Do you have an OU email yet? If so join the OU Housing group on Facebook (CC won’t let me link to the group).
