Congrats! I also got accepted to the Lawton ABSN program for spring, I also applied to OKC and Tulsa campuses for the summer of 2019. So I need to decide (I'm an out of state student so I really have no clue lol). I haven't received any other e-mails or info, but I haven't accepted the offer yet if that makes a difference.
Well for the Lawton program, the actual classes and clinicals apparently take place in a small town called Duncan rather than in Lawton. Also we have orientation for the Lawton program on the 14th of December so it would require a quick decision. Duncan is pretty nice. Lots of affordable housing and it's fairly quiet. You could live in Lawton but from the info I've received on orientation it sounds like you'd be commuting from Lawton everyday. This commute can range from 20-45 minutes depending on which side of Lawton you live on.
The Oklahoma City program is at the main ouhsc complex which is a pretty nice campus that is basically right at the edge of downtown Oklahoma City. The downside to this location is if you want to live very close to campus your options For housing are very hit and miss. There is some decent places but large parts of downtown are kind of sketchy so you definitely want to make sure you are getting a good place with security in place or consider living a little further from campus and commuting in. But be prepared for a bit of traffic. Okc doesn't have much traffic but what traffic does happen is all right around that downtown area.
i can't really help with the Tulsa campus unfortunately. I've never been to their campus but I have been to Tulsa and it seemed nice enough. I think it would be kind of like okc where it depends on the exact location.
Good of luck in making your decision. I hope some of the above info helps.

Hello,
I have applied for both the spring and summer admission. I was wondering what your GPAs were when applying for admission the last 60 units and science if you don’t mind sharing? I am so nervous

I got accepted into the Lawton campus starting in January 2020 and had some questions for students who have already been there. Also, anyone else get accepted for 2020?

You might consider living in Duncan if all the clinicals are still in Duncan. Definitely might be something to ask.
