Good place to grab a cup of Joe, hang out, study, chat with friends.
This review is primarily about The Frontroom coffee house part of BUC. I got there almost every day for coffee. The staff is made up of about 10-12 college student employees who make your beverage of choice. Sometimes they have it together, other times not. Mostly I get what I order, but it isn't unusual to order a coffee "with room" and get it filled to the rim, or worse, only half full. At class change times the line can be very long, and you'll wait 10 minutes just to get service, then more time to get your order. All in all an okay place for coffee, mostly because it's Starbuck's and with your own cup that's only $1.25.
Built in the old river bed. Students will be paying just for the construction costs of this monstrosity in their general fees every semester for next 50 years. OU had to bypass state law about budgeting for maintenance costs because they couldn't raise the money. But hey, it's got escalators.
One of my favorite places on campus to just sit. There is a lot here. Restaurant, coffee shop, and a post office.
Awesome place to spend some time at. Pretty nice view of the campus from the 4th floor.
This place is like a mini-mall. So much goodness nestled in there: coffee shop, art gallery, student media, ball room, food outlets with made to order options, pool tables, computer repair, and more.
If the weather permits, grab a drink and hang out on The Front Room's patio. If it's raining, try the 1804 room for some peace and quiet.
Also, the GoBus has a pick up/drop off location there, which is very convenient.
Oh, and there's an escalator there. Apparently the only one in the region/county. Love this place.
