Freshman Expectations

Freshman Expectations

By Michael Acker

Freshman join the University of Oklahoma in 2010 with new expectations on how college life will go.

More than 3,750 students joined the University of Oklahoma in the fall of 2010, according to the New Sooner Convocation speech. With all the new students joining the campus each of them have different expectations as how college life will be.

“It’s really gone beyond my expectations and how the professors really get to know the students,” said Spencer Hanes, freshman aerospace engineering major. “I have generations of family that have gone here before me and they told me that OU was going to be this big bureaucracy with people not being very nice and not being helpful to students.”

Even with each student having a different expectation the university keeps bringing in more students each year. Students want to get involved in activities on campus to meet their expectations.

“I rushed Delta Gamma,” said Amanda Mitchell freshman chemistry major. “I am loving it so far.”

The new freshman will carry these expectations through college and continue to fill them while new students bring new expectations to the University of Oklahoma.
