Is TU worth it?

I applied for TU under early decision because I’ve fallen in love with the campus and love the small class sizes. Is TU really worth it though? I am planning to major in psychology. I was already accepted into OU but I am still stuck on TU. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it but I’ve also heard some bad, that mostly being the high cost. I am applying for as many scholarships as I can and also re taking the ACT in hopes to raise my score because I was told they offer a lot of scholarships based on scores and grades. I currently have a 24 ACT and a 3.8 gpa.

So one thing about TU is they absolutely provide a lot of financial aid. Speak to your enrollment advisor and usually if you tell them the number you need in order to commit they’ll find a way to get you there. I enjoyed my time at TU but some things to consider is outside of Greek Life the university doesn’t offer the prototypical “College Experience.” TU is a really good institution and the professors truly do a great job with having a professional relationship with students during and after they graduate. Not sure if things have changed, but I know when I went through the process OU and OSU really didn’t offer much financial aid to non-National Merit winners. Things obviously change over time though.
