Categories Comments Great for these types of students Well, this is a pretty well rounded collage! Almost anyone can come here and be satisfied....unless you think you want a more expensive collage? That's fine, hehe. Well, Cameron is known to be the Aggies. They are pretty big in Agricultural things! So, FFA Or even a slight interest in farm, plant, animal, and agriculture is great! But, they offer several different courses, majors and minors! They are just as capable as anyone else. :)
Tips for prospective students Talk to people! Mostly everyone likes to talk for a while. Ask around, ask for tips, ask about the campus! People like to share! There is a gold rush- an enrollment orientation, and the people running it are really great with telling you about the campus and such! Most likely, they will answer the top questions while they show you around. :) They give out free water, too! hehe. But, yes! Ask questions, interact with others! It definitely pays off, and helps you while you are here. You'll also feel more welcomed, too! Don't be shy! They want you there! :)
Bang for the buck Cost is great! They don't overcharge you for everything...which is good. It's still nice to get loans and scholarships, but the tuition at Cameron alone, isn't bad at all. :)
Am enjoying being here I enjoy being here most of the days! From where I'm from, it's a bit of a drive to go, but it's worth it by the end of the day. :) It's a great place to sit down and view, too! Cameron works hard on keeping their property nice and presenting. They put out flowers, keep the fountain's flowing, keep the grass nice and tidy. Even the spacing of everything is great. It's not too much of a walk to go one place to another. Also, they serve great food in the cafeteria and lunch lobby! Oh! They also have a little pond where people can sit there for a while and enjoy nature. It's beautiful! Such great scenery.
Am learning a lot The first semester I learned a great deal! I would say, more than most my time at high school combined! Cameron University is a great collage. People are friendly and helpful. I have amazing instructors, too! They are eager to help each student, and taught me more than I thought I would learn!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students School is great for psychology students wanting to seek a masters degree, and those psych students who want to get licensed after grad school. It is also a good school for those who want to teach, any grade, and it is also good for those seeking a job in the criminal justice field.
Tips for prospective students Don't be afraid to contact the advisers and ask all the questions you want because they won't make you feel stupid. The advisers are very willing to make an appointment with you so that you can get your questions one on one.
Bang for the buck Almost all classes are updated every few semesters so all the information is pretty current. A few of the professors are on the state licensing boards so that if you continue your education, you will be well versed in what you need to know after graduation to get licensed. So you know that you get a better education than those schools that do not have these professors( and doctors).
Am enjoying being here Everyone is really nice. Its a beautiful campus and well kept, which can be a rarity around here.
Am learning a lot The teachers have actual experience in the field that they are teaching which gives the students get real world examples.

Categories Comments Tips for prospective students Make friends, study hard, ask people what good professors are to make sure you get a good education and also a good college experience.
Bang for the buck This university is not too expensive. I pay for my own tuition and have managed to not take out a loan so far, it is all about saving on my part.
Am enjoying being here Although Lawton is a small city and doesn't have much to do, you do find some of the most amazing friends here that make your college experience much more better. The people here have that Southern hospitality that everyone always talks about.
Am learning a lot This University is very good. Small Classes and more one on one time with your professors. I have learned a lot more because I do get that time with the professors to ask questions and what not, so I find it more helpful that the University is smaller for my chances of more learning.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This is a great place for non-traditional students as well as traditional students. They are very welcoming of both types of students. They really try and accommodate the needs of both.
Tips for prospective students I would advice for any students planning to go here to check out your resources and sign-up where ever possible to increase your benefits in learning.
Bang for the buck Out of most of the colleges and universities I've looked into, this seems to be the most affordable.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy going to this University, it is a great atmosphere for learning.
Am learning a lot Cameron University is a great learning institution, the instructors really go above and beyond to help their students succeed.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are many information poles where all you have to do is push a button and a live operator can give you directions if you are lost, or send security if you need help. Many grounds personnel are always riding around in golf carts that can also assist if help is needed.
Greek Life I am not affiliated with any Greek chapter so I cannot advise on how these are.
Clubs and Activities Although I am currently only a member of Student Support Services there are many clubs and organizations on campus for all different types of students. Student Support Services is a wonderful place for new students to learn about Cameron and get enrolled and find out about tutors, labs, and even get a mentor to help new students till they get on there feet. Some qualifications are necessary to be accepted but definitely worth visiting.
Great for these types of students It was a relief to me that different age students attend Cameron. I am 30 years old and was nervous about going back to school. When I arrived I found that not everyone in class with me was right out of high school. There is also cultural diversity so making friends that can teach us new ways of doing things and also to teach them about how Americans do things is an awesome opportunity.
What to do for fun The gym is nice, there are three movie theaters in Lawton and two bowling allies. The side walk through out Cameron is marked for those who want to walk, jog, run and keep track of their distance. There are pool tables available in student union with flat screen t.v.'s. Cameron also has a theater where concerts and conferences are held and sometimes free or deeply discounted for students with their i.d.
Food and Dining The only dining I can attest to is at the student union and I personally think it is over priced considering they serve mostly college students. It is usually cheaper to go off campus and a much better variety is available.
Dorm Life I do not live in dorms so I cannot fairly rate the living conditions, however students that I know who do live in the dorms are pleased.
Academic Rigor The campus is always buzzing with students going back and forth to class. Study groups in the library, and tutors in the labs help keep students on track with their educational goals. Cameron offers many computer labs that students can access, one of which is open 24 hours a day.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you attend the orientation and take a tour of the school. Make friends and don't be afraid to ask questions. Listen to your adviser and do not overload your schedule.
In three sentences Great school for beginning college students. Instructors are very helpful and care about every students success. Many available subjects to choose from to study.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Fitness center, theater, sports, and massages all on campus. Mall in town, and lake on army installation.
Food and Dining Cafeteria with scheduled meals and is calculated into your living expenses. Other recreational building has a food court. Fast food and local dinners in proximity to campus.
Dorm Life Accommodations are nice and continue to grow as they build the campus up.
Academic Rigor Staying focus, dedicated, and coming to class is the key to passing any course. Great labs and tutors all around campus in every department to help you succeed.
Tips for prospective students Speak to advisers and research curriculum before choosing major. Be dedicated to school and don't expect much in a small town. Get involved in school activities and groups to enjoy a campus life, and expand your horizons.
In three sentences Great place to learn and grow. Wish they had more classes to take year round. Teachers are great at Helping and explaining.

Clubs and Activities Didn't join clubs, I work and have a family.
Great for these types of students Non Traditional students can prosper here. Ex military also.
Bang for the buck One of the most inexpensive universities in Oklahoma, this university has some impressive departments. The chemistry department has legendary people and so does the foreign language department.
What to do for fun It's Lawton, there isn't much to do, but the Wichita Mountains are lovely.
Food and Dining The food is tasty, inexpensive, try the cafeteria in Shepler, the people are amazingly friendly.
Dorm Life No Idea.
Academic Rigor The course can be demanding but are rewarding.
Tips for prospective students Check out every opportunity for advancement, such as SSS and TRIO. Get involved in tutoring and study groups, you will accomplish much.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus security is always patrolling the campus. Cameron has a very safe vibe to it.
Clubs and Activities There are many many clubs at Cameron University. Everything from academics to culture and everything in between. Joining a club definitely helps a new student feel at home and relieve some nerves.
Great for these types of students The common hardworking, determined students but since the university is relatively small it's also great for those who come from small towns/schools.
What to do for fun Since Lawton is a mid-size town there are a few things to do. Movies, bowling, putt-putt, local festivals going on, mountain refuge just fifteen minutes outside of town along with lake lawtonka. Medicine Park is definitely a place to check out with their little shops. A few casinos and local night clubs are here as well if that interests the individual. Mostly just go out and explore and have fun.
Food and Dining The student union has pizza hut and a smoothie place along with some baked goods. The cafeteria food is just as good.
Dorm Life The dorm rooms are spacious and well acceptable if one requires to stay in the dorms. If you can afford a bit more a month/semester then Cameron Village is definitely something to look into. Apartment style living.
Academic Rigor Some classes are a piece of cake while others will test you. This is common as with any education. The advisers really know their field and they are there to help you when you need it.
Tips for prospective students Tour the campus before accepting admissions. Don't be afraid to ask questions everyone seems to be quite friendly. Apply for many scholarship opportunities. Meet the advisers before you enroll for a class, it helps a lot to see who you'll be learning from for a semester.
In three sentences Small student to teacher ratio. Affordable tuition. Friendly atmosphere.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Sorry but absolutely nothing in Lawton unless you play basketball, swim, bowl, or play pool. Good thing is we have OKC which has lots to do.
Food and Dining Cameron cafeteria isn't the most appetizing, but you're located around a bunch of fast food and restaurants.
Dorm Life Pretty good, the repair crew is a little slow but they do a good job. Not too strict nor too slacked. Do not bring any pets other than fish.
Academic Rigor It would totally depend on the professor. Sometimes you find a professor who teaches a 101 class like you're all majors on that subject.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to check around before enrolling into classes. If you do you'll know I you need to buy a book, how the professor teaches and thing s along those lines. Stay organized and manage your time wisely, it will make life easier
In three sentences It is a very close knit campus. Educational aspect is very good in my opinion. Food selection much to be desired.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus Police is has a strong presence on campus and I have never been concerned for my safety. However, although a dry campus alcohol is very prevalent on campus and in campus housing.
Greek Life Greek life is not the same as at an average university. There is no greek housing. I personally don't care for most of the people in the greek community but, there are some great people. The adviser for Greek life is amazing and he is a great person to talk to for more info his name is Steve Sassamen and he is located in the Student Activities Office.
Clubs and Activities PAC is an excellent club and sponsors almost all events on campus. there are many clubs on campus and a student can find one that best fits his or her interests.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Each year there is the foam dance party at the end of Welcome Week sponsored by PAC.
Bang for the buck Cameron is highly rated for its affordability and quality of education.
What to do for fun PAC along with other organizations usually have events weekly. There is something to do every night. Make sure to get involved early.
Food and Dining The food in the cafeteria is not gross however it is tasteless. The food at the student union is great and I like it alot.
Dorm Life Dorm life is interesting because of the large number of international students along with the large commuter base at the school the dorms at Cameron are very different than those at other schools. If you can afford it I recommend living in the village with people you know and trust.
Academic Rigor The difficulty of the academic work varies from professor to professor but overall general education classes have been easy.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to apply for scholarships specifically the PLUS this scholarship has a firm deadline usually sometime in February.
In three sentences This university has given me great opportunities through the small class sizes because I have been able to talk to my professors about the subject and asked any questions I may have. I also enjoy the ability to know the faculty at the school. This school has done an excellent job with both their students and professors.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck cameron has a lot of free things to do like the games with your ID and anything that is hosted on campus is not charged really.
What to do for fun the mcc has a lot of people there during the afternoon where there's pool and lounge chairs and music. the campus is always having events like movie night, video games, and more.
Food and Dining the food is good. the only issue i had issues with was getting my food wrong at times.
Dorm Life the dorms are small and i hated living there. the walls look like crap with holes in it. i recommend to not live in it.
Academic Rigor the work is pretty easy, but there are some challenging courses.
Tips for prospective students make sure you have all your paperwork taken cared of! make appointments if needed. Get all financial aid taken cared of so as to not have a snag on your bill.
In three sentences Cameron University is a small college where it is a great opportunity for students to get to know their professors. The library is a great location for people who want to study quietly and check books out.

Categories Comments Campus Safety For the most part, I felt safe on campus. There are several police call boxes around campus. You just push the button and they'll help you. An officer will also escort you to the dorms if you feel unsafe. I would just not recommend walking around campus late at night. In the five years I was there, nothing bad ever happened to a student. I feel I should tell you that Lawton is not the safest town in the world, and it's gotten worse in the past few years. But like I said, if you are careful and don't walk the streets at night you should be fine. The parking lots are well lit and there is parking close to the dorms. There are security on staff 24/7 as well.
Greek Life I didn't participate in any, but there are a number of fraternities and sororities to choose from. They do not have their own houses, however.
Clubs and Activities There are so many things to choose from. Something for everyone! And if there is not a club you are interested, they encourage you to create your own.
Great for these types of students Anyone looking for more one on one education. It is a great school for international students as well. There are local churches and charities who take very good care of the international students, helping feed them and helping them adjust to American life.
Bang for the buck Very affordable, and I didn't feel like I was cheated at all in my education.
What to do for fun The school always has some fun activity planned for students: movie nights, concerts, comedians, etc. They also have sports events, theatre productions, and concerts put on by the music department. The school has a gym that is free for students to use, with an indoor track, racquetball courts, basketball courts, a swimming pool, and weights. Close to town there is a wildlife refuge where you can hike, fish, swim, camp, or picnic.
Food and Dining There is a cafeteria and a small food court. My husband enjoyed the cafeteria food. I was never able to eat there because meal times conflicted with my class schedule. The food court is good. They also have a coffee shop in the dorm building that stays open pretty late.
Dorm Life Dorms are a little small, but are fairly nice. You are able to get a dorm to yourself for a little extra money. There are also apartments on and off campus. The apartments on campus were recently built and are very nice (but also pricey).
Academic Rigor The teachers hold their students to high standards. They want to make sure you learn what you need to be successful in your chosen career.
Tips for prospective students Show up to class. Most of my classmates that failed only did so because they failed to show up to class. Also, for the first few weeks of class, get there early. Parking is limited and fills up fast!
In three sentences I loved the smaller class size. I had great opportunities that I may not have gotten at a larger school. I didn't feel like I got lost in the shuffle, I felt like each teacher genuinely cared for me and my academic career.

Categories Comments Campus Safety This campus is very safe we have two cops that roam the campus and check for strange activity all day. They have cameras to check the buildings on campus to make sure no one is doing anything illegal. This campus is also a tobacco free campus.
Greek Life The Greek life for Cameron University is very well put together because they make sure that every student is taken care of and succeeds to the fullest. Everyone that is a part of the Greek life says that it is amazing and a lot of fun.
Clubs and Activities There is a lot of clubs and activities that help students learn more about Cameron or help students satisfy their likes and dislikes. Cameron has a lot of clubs and activities that I can not even begin to describe because there are so many.
What to do for fun There is a lot of things to do around Lawton for fun. Lawton has a water park, mini golf, the mall, there is two playgrounds our two big parks, go fishing, swimming, etc. On campus they have a lot of activities that are on campus, including the polar plunge, run for fun, dances, healthy living workshops, and music festivals.
Food and Dining The food and dining is actually really good. I eat on campus all the time and there is an array of options for food that I hardly know what to get sometimes. The seating area is awesome because if somebody is too hot then they can go in side and choose from comfortable cushion chairs, wooden chairs that surrounds a table or booths. If someone gets too cold then they can go outside and side in the sun upstairs on the balcony or downstairs with an outdoor wooden chair and table set.
Dorm Life I do not live on campus, but I have heard that it is really nice. Some of the students say that it helps to get to know people a lot better because they are near by.
Academic Rigor This campus may look like it is easy, but they actually have set rules that they stick to on campus. Most of the requirements of being on time for class or turning in homework the teachers take seriously because if we do not it will be hard to pass the class.
Tips for prospective students I would say that keeping up with all the work that is due in class, and just being serious about what they are paying for. Instead of just dropping out of class because it is to tough to handle and wasting a lot of their own money.
In three sentences Cameron University is a beautiful campus with a lot of ponds, fountains, animals, trees, etc. There is an array of people from many different culture backgrounds. This campus may be small, but is a great campus to go to school at because it is small and easy to commute from one place to the other.

Academic Rigor Cameron is an alcohol-free zone and has become a tobacco-free zone within the last year or so. The professors are tough, but they do it all to help you learn.
Tips for prospective students Come about 30 minutes before your first class. That way you can find parking spots. Don't forget to get a parking permit as well. It will be $25 for a year. You'll have to continue buying it for each year you stay at Cameron.
In three sentences Cameron University is great on general education and bachelor degrees. Cameron University has cheap tuition. Cameron University does not have a lot to choose from when it comes to getting a master's degree.
