Best campus walk is around Traditions East, West, and Sam Noble museum.

Explore all aspects of OU by asking a lot of questions to everyone students, faculty, and Admissions Counselors. OU has got a lot to offer inside, and outside classroom so follow different OU organizations and admissions' social media and visit campus if you can, to get a glimpse of the Sooner magic and to envision your OU community.
