Hello,
I am looking at either majoring in computer science, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering. Is Oklahoma good for these? What is the surrounding city like? I live in DFW so would you think it would be a good idea to visit? How is the financial aid?
I can’t speak to the engineering but I do know their engineering programs are ABET certified. My D plans to go to OU next year. She wants to study Meteorology and was very impressed with OU. Norman has more of a small town feel to it and is much smaller than DFW. Yes, you should go for a visit. I really liked the layout and the feel of the school. Everyone was very friendly! We plan to visit again later this year and this time we hope to check out Oklahoma City too.
Have you thought about UT Dallas or is that too close to home for you? I ask because S18 is stating to look at schools with a similar path in mind and UTD is on his list. We are close to Austin and he’d rather be a bit farther away from home so we have started weighing the pros and cons of UTD and UT Austin and OU.
I have looked at UTD but I would rather have a college with sports and activities in order to experience “college life.” I’ve heard UTD is more like a corporate building and people don’t do much there in terms of sports.
