Advice for First-Year Students: Prioritize nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and mental health. Go to school events and meet people, know your resources and utilize them, and build your support system early so you have it when you need it.
What makes OU-Tulsa home? My favorite part of OU-Tulsa is our library. There's free coffee and tea, treadmill-desks, and the-best-chairs-ever upstairs...the library is my home away from home. I also feel at home at OU-Tulsa because I got involved with OU-Tulsa Student Government and by going to Student Affairs-hosted events.
