At Alight Norman student housing, spend a cultural weekend checking out dinosaur bones at the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History and see the latest exhibition at the Fred Jones Jr Museum of Art. For some fresh air, head out into the great outdoors at the Lake Thunderbird State Park. Back home, round up your mates and cheer on the Oklahoma Sooners at the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, and in the evening, treat yourself to dinner and drinks at the Land Run Grill and Bar. Oklahoma City is only a half an hour drive away when you want a bigger adventure, complete with exciting attractions like the Frontier City amusement park.
Living in the gated community of Alight Norman, your home will be a roomy, fully furnished apartment that you’ll call your own or share with up to three friends. Start your day with an energetic workout in the 24-hour fitness center before hopping on the private shuttle bus service for the 7-minute ride to the University of Oklahoma. It should get you there in time to grab a latte from The Bookmark coffee shop before class.
When you get home to Alight Norman, continue your studies in the computer center or retreat to the quiet of your room, with free internet to help you research your next college report. Unwind afterwards by swimming a few lengths in the resort-style swimming pool and ease your muscles in the hot tub afterwards. Alternatively, let off steam with friends on the sand volleyball court or shoot some hoops on the basketball court. If that sounds too much effort, hit the putting green or head to the game room in the clubhouse.
As the sun sets, gather with friends around the fireplace in the outdoor pavilion and fire up the grills for an outdoor feast. If you’d rather eat out, it’s a short walk round the corner to China Wonder. For a quiet night in, make some dinner in the sleek kitchen in your apartment and sit out on your patio or balcony to enjoy it. Set the dishwasher to work while you kick back on the leather-style couch to watch your favorite shows on the 42-inch flatscreen HDTV in the living room.
With loads of free parking and lots of social events going on, Alight Norman makes a convenient and friendly place to live during your student years in Norman.
