University of Oklahoma Norman Campus Norman, OK

A stellar academic community at the heart of the Sooner State

OU Public Sooners

Positioned where Oklahoma City’s southern suburbs begin to fade into the surrounding prairie, the University of Oklahoma enjoys a reputation for superb academics, visionary research, and historically dominant Sooner athletics. The campus has an unusual long and narrow shape, making it easier to find an apartment close to whatever part of the university you will be frequenting. The neighborhoods near the south end of campus will put you closer to the School of Meteorology and the Lloyd Noble Center; mid-campus is closest to the College of Law; and the northern portion is home to many of the administration and general education buildings, as well as Memorial Stadium. Living near the north side of campus will also put you closest to Downtown Norman, as well as the popular hangouts along Asp Avenue. When you’re ready to take a more extensive break from the daily routine, you’re only a short drive away from the urban attractions of Oklahoma City to the north and the natural beauty and tranquility of Lake Thunderbird to the east.
