<p>Hey, I just noticed this forum. That’s great. </p>
<p>We visited in July and came away unexpectedly impressed. The adcoms did a wonderful job of setting up ds’s visit. He met with SIX different people, ranging from profs to the study abroad office to the woman in charge of undergraduate research. It was the best summer visit we’ve had.</p>
<p>My 2nd oldest is there now as a freshman. He raved about his week of orientation and now his first week of classes. He is studying computer science. He is in the honors program and lives in the honors house.</p>
<p>He said yesterday, “Everyone I met here is so friendly. The professors are great. I love my classes. The academics are taken seriously, but there is a very congenial atmosphere.”</p>
<p>Everyday I talk to him he has more superlatives to add about his experience there so far.</p>
<p>That’s good to know! Ds was certainly impressed. If his ED school doesn’t work out, then he’ll be visiting Tulsa again.</p>
<p>Here is what I know about the University of Tulsa. I live in Tulsa and have two degrees from TU (accounting and law). I choose TU for undergraduate school over 30 years ago. I grew up near Oklahoma City. The folks who I became friends with at TU are very successful today. They were very smart kids many years ago and TU challenged even the brightest of those old friends. None received a degree from TU and said that was easy. Today, those same kids are now pushing 50. Overall, they are occupationally a step or two above my friends who went to other schools in Oklahoma. They are professors, doctors, engineers, corporate executives, and business owners. Not a slacker in the bunch. Bottom line, if you want your child to succeed, take TU serious. </p>
<p>Tulsa is a big town or a small city. It is difficult to make a living in Tulsa, but once you do, it is nice. The cost of living is inexpensive. There is an entrepreneurial spirit in Tulsa with a can do attitude. There are four seasons in Tulsa. Housing is fantastic. Tulsa has three (3) upper echelon high schools. One is public and in Newsweeks top 100 public high schools with an IB program. Entertainment is on the up tick in Tulsa and down town is on the move. Good museums exist. The local lakes are quite nice to stunning. Tulsa is a good place to raise a family</p>
<p>I am graduating high school this year and am attending The University of Tulsa in the fall to study Petroleum Engineering. Currently I am looking into buying a computer and was wondering if there are any students (Preferably engineers in perticular if possible) that could give me some advice. I am considerign a few options, A. Buy a fairly good laptop around $2000, B. Buy a desktop which of course will always beat a laptop in performance for a comparable price and then to have the protability buy a Netbook or cheap laptop to go along with it. C.(any other sugestions?). I am leaning towards B but want to know if there is any input, Ex. would i lose to much mobility that would be otherwise very convienient?</p>
