University of Central Oklahoma

Add extra $ to your child's education for Parking tickets at UCO. I do not know of a parent that has a child at UCO that has NOT complained about the " parking" and "tickets" at UCO. I would like to see the income generated by certain "security officers." They even "tow student's cars on campus for expired tags!" There is NO parking at UCO, so does your daughter miss her class, park where she can, or take a chance and have her walk in the dark to far compromising her safety? I know that this sounds ridiculous, but the administration needs to address the parking and security issues on campus. I am sure that if administration, services, and employees had to "fight for parking" or "park in the back forty," as the students do, the problem would be solved. Until administrators resolve the problem, put hand-cuffs on certain "security officers," that have a "Abusive Power Play" toward students! Respected, experienced police officers use discretion, they do not abuse power. UCO, I think it is embarrassing that a forensic science, criminal justice school, fails in policing, managing and training its own security service. more

The University of Central Oklahoma is great place to go to college. It is not overwhelmingly huge like some colleges, but is also big enough to have tons of opportunities to make friends. Pros: Smaller class sizes, cheap cheap cheap education, great education, and awesome professors. It has so many great clubs and organization, as well as tons of international students, creating diversity and unity. Just because UCO was easier to get into doesn't mean its not a great place to get your college education. The Education and Journalism colleges are some of the best in the nation. Cons: Do not live in the dorms. They are loud and obnoxious. Get an apartment if you can. more

I attended UCO for a Master's in Business Administration. Throughout the program, I had excellent professors. They were all very knowledgeable in their subjects and added color to their teaching. I would recommend this program for the value of the instruction coupled with the price. It's nice to graduate with out the large debt associated with a master's program. more
