What can you tell me about the University of Tulsa?
I had a friend who transferred here on a basketball scholarship full-ride when we were freshmen & I heard she really likes it! I was born in Broken Arrow but have been living in TX ever since. I am considering it for graduate school & would like to see what some of you all know about it?

Every person I have met who goes there really seems to like it.... so I guess that says something lol. Its a small university, but from what I hear they want to keep it that way. Quality over quantity. They have really stepped up the last few years to grow and improve the campus. Lots of new housing, sports and recreational facilities, expanded library, beautification projects etc. with more stuff coming soon. Its become a very nice looking campus. Its a well respected university. Didnt go there myself, so cant offer more than that. :-)

My daughter received her BA, MA and is working on her PhD at TU. She is also doing some teaching there. She likes it!  |

How is the area? Is it a commuter school? Grad-student friendly? Are most of the students from the Tulsa area or OK?

My lawyer transfered from Univerity of Michigan to TU for his JD. Twenty years later he's still in Oklahoma.. Tulsa metro is nearing a million population. so I would say the grad program, accessibility, are very good and the students are from a mixed area but predominately from OK because it is a good school and never far from home. Tulsa folks are friendly. The city is beautiful and upscale. The culture and religious community is diverse. Y'all come visit some time.

The area is...decent. Not the best, not the worst. But its very close to some of the nice areas of town like Cherry Street, and near downtown and Pearl Street. The whole area from TU to the posh mid-town and downtown are slowly melding together and improving. TU used to be a commuter school, but recently they have added a TON of spiffy new, student housing which really looks nice. % of students from Tulsa... I think that info is on their website. |
