Memorabilia bounty comes as a surprise to some
Throwing on a Sooner hoodie may seem normal for OU students, but something as simple as wearing your university colors surprises many exchange students.
“When I arrived here, my first thought was, ‘Why is everyone wearing the same T-shirt?’” said Anais Tierny, a French student in communications.
