OU or OSU, and why?

OU or OSU, and why?

[Midtowner]

For what?

Each school has its strengths and weaknesses.

[Luke]

OU. That is where I graduated.

OU Football. I played in the Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band.

OU, because I have had many friends and relatives that have graduated from there, and all I have heard are good things about the school.

OU has a weakness??

Okay Midtowner, I see your point.

Obviously, OU has the better football program and a better tradition. Of course I favor OU since I'm a student there. But, obviously, if you're interested in agriculture, horticulture, vetrinary medicine, or something like that, OSU is a better choice.

Since this is in the education section and not the sports section, you had me a little confused. Both schools have nationally recognized programs. OSU for its ag, vet and engineering, OU for its meteorology, geology, medecine, law, etc..

As for sports... OU, it's no contest

But that would be a question for a different forum.

Can't I just say the University Of Michigan???

You can say anything you want, but UM does not answer the question asked in the thread.

Nice fight song, cool football helmets, questionable admissions policies, sub-par athletics. I'm not sure how much there is to like about UM.

They couldn't even beat Texas.

Definitely OU. We have a much more comprehensive research program at the university.

Of course, OSU has the better engineering school, it has one of the nation's top ag programs, etc. To compare the two academically is an apples to oranges argument.

Well, OSU also has a very impressive engineering school. I think both schools have impressive medical schools, but OSU has a lead there. OSU also has a renowned architecture school. OSU also has the better basketball program, the nation's best basketball stadium (You gotta see Gallagher Iba! CBS Sportsline says it's the best even!) and the nation's best wrestling tradition. Hillbilly sport? Yes, but they have a hall of fame out of it. I would say OU for sure, but Stillwater is the better college town.

Wha? Yeah, they are one of the better DO schools, but as far as students, they just get the left overs that can't make the grade to get into OU.

Well, that's a little biased. I think OSU has the world's largest union.

Yeah, the Stillwater campus. Do you even have a clue where OSU Medical School is? Just a hint: OSU Medical School doesn't have a union.
Besides, what does a Union have to do with the overall quality of the medical school? It doesn't.

Yes, I do. It is located on I 444, about 1 block north of downtown Tulsa.

I can't believe someone just made the claim that the DO school is better than OUHSC!! Hilarious! Just like my UCO undergrad degree is better than one from Cambridge!

OSU really isn't a "DO" school to begin with.

Okay, I think I need to clarify some things here......

In our more recent discussion, we were discussing OU vs. OSU medical schools, not the schools as a whole. You stated in a previous post that OSU Medical School had an edge over OU Medical School. That was laughable because it's so far from the truth.

Just FYI, OSU Medical School is not an MD allopathic medicine school like most. No, instead, it's a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) School. Sure, both are physicians and DO's aren't any less physicians than MD's. But,t here's still a difference. Thus, OSU Medical School IS a DO school.

OSU Medical School (DO) is not located north of downtown Tulsa. You're thinking of OSU-Tulsa. Actually, the OSU Health Sciences Complex is located south of downtown on W. 17th St. right off I-44. The campus consists of 1 building, with classroom space and a few offices. There's not much to the campus. No union. No cafetaria. Nothing of that magnitude.

Comparing OUHSC to OSU Medical (DO) School is like comparing a sprawling city to a small rurual town. They're simply not comparable.

OUHSC, by far, isn't one of the top 10 medical schools in the country, but it's far better than the OSU Medical School (DO).

OSU Medical School gets all of the rejects from OU.

Okay, hope that clarifies everything.

It kind of looks like a call center.

Yes! It really does. Good observation.
