The University of Tulsa campus is a beautiful. The landscaping has been upgraded; the apartments are kept up nicely; and the security is good. Parking passes are ridiculously high. I wish buildings had more than one entrance available after hours (with ID swipe). Walking around a building in the dark is creepy.

Great professor to student ratio. Good opportunities to join multiple organizations.

Fun atmosphere, amazing professors, great research, and great food. The city of Tulsa is a huge plus as well. My only real gripe is the wifi which hasnt been as bad now that theyve finished working on it, but whenever they do work on it, it can be super spotty.

If you're studying engineering or comp science/cybersecurity, you're in the right place. A beautiful campus in a medium-sized city. There is some property crime, but this seems a safe campus. Being a smaller school, faculty and administrative staff are easily accessible. Study the right thing, and you'll find good opportunities after graduation.

I love this campus, the professors, the staff, and the athletics! This place truly feels like my home, and I could not be happier to be here! The city of Tulsa is also amazing! I have had many amazing opportunities that were only possible because I have been a TU student. This place is my home!

TU is amazing! This school has so many programs and degrees that rival (or are even better) than Ivy League and other well known colleges. It has been declared as number one in the world for different engineering degrees as well, like petroleum. I am so close to all of my professors and many friends! The city of Tulsa is amazing as well! 10/10

$$ should not be an issue if you are dedicated to applying for the scholarships available. Gorgeous campus with view of Tulsa skyline. The culture here is friendly, I had no trouble finding friends and building relationships with my professors. Studious atmosphere, so you will be surrounded by people who work hard and inspire you to work hard.

Really enjoyed my time here

I have fallen in love with this campus, this city, and my classes! I did not think I would love all of this as much as I have. I have been able to take part in serious research with CRISPR Gene editing systems, and there is always something happening on campus and in the city. The classes are rigorous, but the professors and campus always help you!

Depressing campus with depressed people
Overall 1.9
Avoid if you can. The entire admin needs an overhaul. No one is willing to help students with anything. Professors just care about themselves and their own work. Its beyond frustrating. Get ready to find your own job after college because most likely your department/faculty advisor will be no help.

Please do not choose chemical engineering at TU. The advisory board is not assisting the university with adapting to changing times. And please be careful to take any course with Dr Ford.

I absolutely hate this school. Im transferring after this semester, they don't want you to succeed and everyone here is in competition with one another. Literally worst decision I've ever made and all my friends feel the same way.
