Being a student at the University of Oklahoma is the biggest blessing, and from time to time our friends come to visit us for a weekend. You want them to love your college town just as much as we do, so you rack your brain to come up with a list of the best things to do in the area. Use this list to make sure they fall in love with campus and everything around it, making them wish they chose to come to the best university around.

1. Tour of University of Oklahoma Campus

This doesn’t stop at the Bizzell library. Take them to see the clock tower, the tons of statues hanging out around campus, the Great Reading Room, or to take a dip in our fountains, go inside the football stadium, and check out the spoon and LOVE statue.

2. Campus Corner

Spend a few hours shopping at the tons and tons of boutiques, grab a coffee at Second Wind, and grab lunch at your favorite spot. If you’re 21+, bar-hop from Seven47, to Logie’s, to Chimy’s, to O’Connell’s, to Jax, to The Deli, to Bird’s Nest.

Another area of Norman to grab lunch, or bar-hop at night. Brunch is a must at Scratch and Syrup restaurants.

Two words: food trucks.
