Oklahoma City University

[SBassman]

Know anyone who has gone to or is going to Oklahoma City University?

My daughter is going in the fall, and I only recently learned that they have a pretty major music program there. The ISB convention is being held there in June.

If you know anything about the school, please jump into the thread.

Good school? What's dorm life like there? etc......

Thanks.

Just drove past it today. Don't know much about it, but this is a pretty good part of the country.
If you don't get much response, PM me, I can find out anything you want. My cousin is a State Senator.

What ever you find out, post it here! I'm still looking around for colleges with really good music programs, (and for schools that aren't in the south...kinda!)

No problem, give me till the begining of next week. It's gets kinda lost with OU, and OSU being here. OU football is bigger here than pro football is in most cities.

I just read the last part. We have drawls here, maybe more than most of florida. We are kinda a cross between midwest and southern. Oklahoma and Texas have a very good relationship. If you don't like Texas, you won't like it here. There is not much difference between north Texas and southern Oklahoma. We share radio stations and TV stations and the culture is pretty much the same. The area I live in calls itself Texoma. Northwestern Texas, almost as far as Dallas, excluding the panhandle, and southwestern Oklahoma, almost to the City.

My wife talks about the possibility of moving to Oklahoma or Texas. She has family in Texas now.

I have been to Oklahoma before, and while I didn't see much of it, what I did see I liked very much.

Anyway, yeah I'm looking to see what I can find out about the school. Visiting a website or reading a brochure is one thing, but there's no substitute for talking to people in the area familiar with the school.

My daughter is going there to major in - Dance.

Daisy will know all about it (yeah that's her real name). OKC, and Lawton, where I work and where Fort Sill is are plains. Pretty flat, not many trees. Duncan, where I live is basically an Oak Forrest. East of here, plenty of woods, west of here Great Plains. I live right where the trees start. I work about 30 miles away and we have different weather. They get more wind, we get more rain.
The Indian Nations are big here. I live on the boarder of the Chickasaw Nation. The Comanche and Kiowa Nations are near by. BTW, they call themselves Indians here, not native Americans. Some are touchy about that. Some of the money intended for them from the federal Gov. was hijacked by other groups that fall under native American. Hawaiiians for example.
