A Modern Metropolitan Setting

Young. Inventive. Growing.

  • The Plaza District
  • A tour boat floats past restaurants and shops on Oklahoma City's Bricktown Canal.

Home to more than 1.2 million Oklahomans and an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, Oklahoma City offers an abundance of the arts, quality healthcare, excellence in education, and more. And it does so without high costs, energy shortages, or traffic congestion. It is a distinctly livable city where you can chase your dreams and still enjoy a rich quality of life.

We are Oklahoma City's University

Our campus sits in the heart of OKC in the historic and vibrant Uptown 23rd District.

Just a short drive, walk, or bike ride from campus you can explore more than a dozen diverse neighborhoods and entertainment districts featuring live music venues, local restaurants, coffee shops, food trucks, farmers markets, art events and cultural performances.

On any given night you may find yourself dining at one of the local hotspots in Automobile Alley or Deep Deuce, enjoying a festival in the Plaza District or Midtown, appreciating one of the many art galleries in the Paseo Arts District, attending a professional sporting event, catching a local or nationally touring show at the Civic Center Music Hall or the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, playing laser tag in the Bricktown Entertainment District, or taking a stroll by beautiful Lake Hefner.

Welcome Home!

Some people call it a dorm.

Some people call it a residence hall.

We hope you'll call it home.

We offer numerous options for on-campus living, including traditional dormitory style residences, apartments, and fraternity housing.

Each housing community provides a comfortable living and learning environment where you can find private time as well as numerous opportunities to get connected to campus activities. Living in university housing puts you in the hub of campus life and a short walk from classes, events, and the cafeteria.
