Norman Oklahoma is a city with a small-town feel and a big university presence. Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma, which provides a lively and intellectual atmosphere. Norman also offers a variety of parks, museums, and local events.
Norman, Oklahoma is much more than a college town. You will find everything from historical homes to modern new construction. Looking for something outside of the city? Norman has that also, being home to Lake Thunderbird which is located east of the city. You can find some amazing views with plenty of room to roam. Campus Corner is the most popular for students and locals alike. It features some awesome local eats and places to shop. My top favorite places, in no particular order, include The Mont (which is home to the famous Swirl), Taramahara's amazing Mexican food, and Apple Tree Chocolates for the sweet tooth. Eat, shop, and play all in one place! Norman is also home to several festivals such as the Medieval Fair held just south of the OU campus. It is great fun and perfect for people-watching. Jazz in June, located in Brookhaven Village, is always a chill time. Finally, the Norman Music Festival is held in downtown Norman and is an event lasting several days with lots of great music. If you're looking for a cool place with lots to do and is rich with history, explore Norman! You might like it enough to stay awhile.
