“I just felt like there was so much to do all of the time,” she said.

Roarty, who now lives in midtown, said she feels like Tulsa has something for everyone and has a great cost of living.

She likes to hang around downtown, visit coffee shops and find places for brunch on the weekends, she said.

She also enjoys the Brady Arts District, which she didn’t find out about until she had lived in Tulsa for a couple of years, she said.

She got her job after interning for a summer at Williams, but had several opportunities in the area.

“It’s so easy to find a job here,” she said.

Shelly Holly, TU’s director of career services, said the university works with the community to let students know about opportunities in the area.

“Our office welcomes employers based in Tulsa and around Oklahoma to attend job fairs, host recruitment activities for students and post open positions on our Golden OpporTUnities website,” she wrote in an email. “We also partner with local organizations like Tulsa’s Young Professionals to give students an opportunity to network within the local community.”
