But the housing search season has started later and later over the past few years, and more students aren't getting started until after they return from Spring Break in March. Keep in mind, renewals typically go out in October for the many purpose-built student housing complexes near campus.

Maybe avoid those places and stick with some that haven't been so gross. If you're a fan of nature, hiking, biking or anything else outdoors, check out the Lake Thunderbird State Park. The park has two marinas and plenty of room for camping, hiking or just sitting by the lake and taking in the sights.Campus Corner is a big hot spot for college students that attend the University of Oklahoma. O'Connell's Irish Push is a popular spot for college students and considered the hub of Campus Corner, but there are a variety of other bars and restaurants in the area that are packed every Friday and Saturday night.
