As the state's 3rd largest city and home to its largest university, what is your opinion of Norman?

I live in Norman and go to OU. I think the city has some good parts and that the area in and around campus is beautiful. I also think the whole city gives off a very suburban small town vibe, even though there are 100,000+ residents. I see lots of potential in places like Campus Corner and especially downtown, and I wish there were wider roads and more housing near campus. How would you make Norman a better place?
