8 Things I Missed About OU Over Winter Break 8. The South Oval When you come for your tour, the South Oval probably seems like nothing more than a huge space that takes forever to walk across, but in reality it’s the center of activity at OU. This is because, especially as a freshman, all [...]

  As the semester winds down, I realize I have not written nearly enough for my Boomer Blog. At the beginning of the semester, I had plans to write once every other week, maybe even once a week. I promise to make it my New Year’s Resolution to write more for you all. I love [...]

So you’ve been admitted…what’s next? If you answered filling out your housing application and contract, you’re right! This is a two step process that brings you closer to being ready for your freshman year. Housing will be an experience like no other you will ever have.

If you are not familiar with the skill of time management, learn ASAP! Here at OU, there’s so much for you to do almost all the time.
