Being from Kansas, I have had many people ask me over the years why I chose OU.  It is actually a very simple answer.  When I visited campus, I knew this was the right school for me.  I felt at home and I could picture myself walking up and down the north and south oval going to classes and living in Norman.  I also wanted to experience a school in the south and go where the best opportunities for my major would be.

The energy of this campus is amazing and football games feel like a huge NFL game!  I visited 9 universities, and out of all 9 schools, OU had the most beautiful campus and welcoming people.  Everyone I talked to was so friendly and always willing to help!  I had a tour guide who went above and beyond to help answer any questions I had about the university.  It definitely helped to speak with a current OU student and hear their perspective.

I am in the Gaylord College of Journalism studying Public Relations and apart of the Lindsey+Asp agency.  OU is one is the few colleges that have a real public relations and advertising agency in their college.  I have been able to get a lot of experience in my line of work and have loved the professors and other students!

It is hard to believe I am a senior now and only have one year left at this amazing university.  I will always cherish the memories from OU and cannot wait to help others decide to come to OU!  It is the best decision you will ever make.  Boomer Sooner!
