University of Oklahoma review by gusdiapa

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? An apartment living with american students is the best choice to learn English
Personal comments:
The university offers you the possibility of living in dorms or apartments on campus. The best choice is living in aparments, it is cheaper. The only problem the year I was there was that many students wanted this option and there were not enough apartments for everybody, and we had to share room. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Personal comments:
The night life and parties take place in the apartments. The best places to go out for me were Deli and The Mont. Best cafe: The Baguette This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
5.0 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
There are a lot of good courses. Think in what courses you want before arriving because in some courses there are not enough places and you have to choose quickly if you want a place.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
It is a good university with good teachers and courses of quality. You need to work every week, you will have a lot of homework!!, but don´t worry the exams are not too difficult. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
I improved a lot my English. The best way to learn a language is living in the country for at least one year This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
Promoe grant Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
In general in USA everything is more expensive than in Spain, but Oklahoma is one of the cheapest state in USA. The only thing cheap was the apartment(electricity, air aconditioned, central heating, telephone) arranged for the university. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall: was more expensive than at home. Housing: was the same price as at home. Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Take care with the phone calls to your country. It is very expensive, buy pre-paid cards. The medical insurance is expensive, but it is necessary, don´t forget that This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
The nightlife is boring :) In Oklahoma people are very conservative and the law is very stricted In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
It is a great university, you will find great courses and good teachers. It is a good choice, but outside of the university there is nothing interesting in Oklahoma FINAL COMMENTS
Try to travel, it is cheap with other students. I recommend you Florida in Spring Break, New York and New Orleans in Mardi Gras. Don´t stay all time with people from your country. Only speak English, forget your native language during this experience. Try to be envolved in the social life, the university offers you plenty of things to do.
