Who has sent a kid here, or knows much about it? My son got an offer in the mail this week for full tuition, fees, housing, meals, and books, as well as a $6,000/year stipend. According to the letter, last year's class had 150 National Merit Scholars, presumably all getting the same deal. With an undergraduate enrollment of under 2,700 students, that would mean that well over 20% of the kids are getting a free ride plus a stipend.

The only other schools I know offering anything similar are huge SEC-type schools such as Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, both Mississippi schools, etc. Tulsa is a really small school, though. Is there a single massive donor to this school who is trying to bring in National Merit Scholars? There can't be an expansive donor base there, as you might find in an Ivy or near-Ivy. Are there huge corporate sponsors funding this offer? Last but not least, what kind of kids are paying full ride to go there?

I would be interested in knowing what anyone who had a child attending the university thought of it, etc.

I don't have a kid there, but I can tell you it has a decent academic reputation. Probably the best school in Oklahoma (purely based on academics), but that's not saying much. Students are not that conservative but supposedly not crazy woke either.

I know two students that went there. They both really liked the school.

Good school. Petroleum and Law are specialties. As mentioned above, best academic school in OK. I enjoyed my brief time in Tulsa, but it does have an odd slowness to it. Just a general lack of energy in the city. Maybe because it was crazy busy and rich at one time and now has just kind of fallen off.

I've heard only positive reviews of it.
I have a friend there, and he likes the place.
But you know, it's always hard to understand whether the uni is good or not because opinions can be different, and a huge part of success depends on a student. It's always easy to blame uni if something is wrong, so work on yourself and your skills. I'm a student too, and I like my uni. of course, things can be hard, but I work on it.
