THE COWBOY LIFESTYLE The day-to-day living for student-athletes at Oklahoma State rivals that of any campus in the country. Most Cowboys are housed on campus in spacious apartments that include living areas, private bedrooms, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, free local phone, free cable television and free internet access. The apartments are located on north Monroe, a short walk from the Gallagher-Iba Arena and academic support center, as well as the academic heart of the OSU campus. OSU student-athletes also enjoy one of America’s top training tables. With a chef dedicated to the basketball menu and with the training table located inside Boone Pickens Stadium, Cowboys and Cowgirls have the best of both worlds – great food in a convenient location. Beginning in August 2008, OSU became one of the only schools in the country to provide oversized beds for its athletes. Each apartment is furnished with a custom athletic bedding system. The beds are 95 inches in length and over 54 inches in width, meaning even the tallest and largest OSU athletes will be completely supported for a comfortable night’s sleep.
