Summer in Norman is definitely unlike any other, especially for us OU Students. A lot of people stick around Norman for work or summer classes, so the town is still inhabited by all of your friends, coworkers, and classmates. To make sure that you won’t be bored when you’re not in class or at work, Summer Session at OU makes sure to have numerous events throughout the summer for students and faculty to enjoy when they have some down time.

These events include movie nights at The Warren Theater in Moore, a shrimp boil event, and free sno-cone days on campus! Aside from the OU community and Summer Session, the city of Norman offers countless things to do during the summer. Downtown Norman has a variety of activities from wine tastings to outdoor concerts. The overall feel of Norman during the summer is very relaxed and different than during the school year, and this is indeed a good different.

No matter how you spend your summer in Norman, you won’t be disappointed. There are endless opportunities available in Norman, and if you have some friends along with you, the fun times will never end. Find a patio, grab your friends, sit back, and enjoy one of the best towns during the summer!
