Getting to the University of Oklahoma
Will Rogers World Airport (OKC)
- As you leave the OKC airport, look for the on-ramp to I-44 on your right. There’s only one such on-ramp, which is actually I-44 westbound.
- After you’ve been on I-44 W for a few miles, you’ll come to a fork between I-44 W and I-44 E. Stay on I-44 W on the right side.
- You’ll come to a major curve. DON’T take the I-44 W exit; instead, stay on the same road, which will become I-240 E (go figure).
- After several miles, take the I-35 S exit (toward Dallas).
- Follow I-35 S out of Oklahoma City, through Moore, and into Norman.
