Jeanette Said:

what college is the best to go to university of oklahoma, university of tulsa, or oklahoma state university?

We Answered:

This is a tough question to answer. Have you visited all the campuses? My daughter just went through the process and came away with a completely different attitude toward each University she visited. You also need to consider what degree program you are looking at.

Regarding cost, make sure you have visited with the financial aid department at each university. We didn't realize OSU offered a number of different scholarship packages based on test scores and gpa simply because they are automatically awarded.

Having said all that I can tell you from personal experience that I love OSU. I received my advanced degree from OSU and am also a professor there. My wife received her undergraduate degree from OSU and law degree from OU. Based on her comments she liked OSU more than OU - simply a friendlier atmosphere, attitude, etc.

Let me know if you have any questions specific to OSU, I would be happy to answer them.
