Living Here

When envisioning Oklahoma, many think of fields, cows, and perhaps even the movie "Twister." But our state has much more to offer than farm life.

With just under one million people in the metro area, Tulsa offers the benefits of big city life but maintains a close-knit community atmosphere. Traffic in Tulsa is minimal, housing is affordable, cost of living is low, and corps members find it easy to enjoy all that the city has to offer.

Oklahoma's capital and largest city, Oklahoma City, is almost twice the size of Tulsa and provides plenty of great living options at affordable rates, exciting entertainment, a beautiful downtown area, and even a professional basketball team. In 2008, Forbes magazine named Oklahoma City the most "recession proof city in America" due to falling unemployment rates and one of the strongest housing markets in the country.

Oklahoma offers numerous activities for outdoor enthusiasts, from floating on the river to running along one of our many trails. And with over 200 lakes across the state, planning a weekend on the water couldn't be easier.
