The last of this type of post. I think.
1) In the end, what are the chances that Kevin goes here?
2%. Kevin ranks Oklahoma second, ahead of Michigan and Arizona State. But not 1st.
2) What did Kevin think?
He liked it well enough. Was not blown away or overly excited about anything he saw here, but, I think the interviews here went better than at any other school.
(Oklahoma paid for the hotel room for the night and oh what a night! The Sooner Legends and Suites, an older 60’s style hotel completely done in Crimson and White and with pictures of Sooners everywhere! Kevin’s facebook post says it best…)
3) Most impressive thing?
The Dining Hall. It wasn’t even close; Suzanne and Kevin were still talking about it days later.
(I got the impression that at least in this main Dining Area you could get almost any kind of food available and most of it made to order. Suzanne had this huge steak quesadilla, Kevin sampled the all-you-can-eat Chick-fil-a)
(the only tour where they ended up inside the football stadium, if only for a moment)
4) Least impressive thing?
Not much. The hotel was more kitsch-y than anything else.
The International Studies program is new, only a few years old, and apparently the legacy of the current president of the school. So, not much of a reputation but a big focus on establishing one.
(a lot of brick buildings in Norman….some more ornamental than others)
5) Food?
Discussed above.
6) Biggest reason to go here?
Five Years of almost completely funded higher education.
7) Biggest reason not to go here?
It’s Oklahoma. It’s not Northeastern
8) What’s next?
Saying ‘yes’ to Northeastern. Orientation in Boston sometime this summer.
Ok, we’ll hear from George Washington in March…..but I think Kevin at this point would probably pick NE over GW.
9) Any Other Updates?
Just one. We knew they had sent out rejection letters a few weeks back, so, this was just a formality. But a big one.
