Personal comments
Conversion rates sometimes give you surprises. Best idea to bring money from home: get yourself a US bank account with a visa debit card, then use your visa from home to buy something and return the goods but present your US card. It is the fastest way, and there are NO commissions

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.

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
