This building was a major deciding factor when I was deciding where to go to college. I grew up on the west coast in Arizona and then California, so Oklahoma was definitely a far away state for me. Both my parents went to OU and I had family that I would visit in Oklahoma every summer so it wasn’t completely new. However, when I was touring colleges to apply to, I was stuck between the University of Arizona and here. When I toured, I remember the first thing I saw that caught my eye was the library and it just made everything feel like a college campus that was built around this one building. Something about it made the OU campus feel like home and I knew this was where I wanted to spend the next four years of college at.
