    If you like to be academically challenged, then Oklahoma Baptist University may be the right college for you. If you are looking to be a business major, OBU is known for its great school of business. Many business graduates from OBU have obtained jobs much easier and faster than some business majors who have attended other colleges.
    If you are planning to be a pastor or be involved in some other ministry, Oklahoma Baptist University has an amazing school of Christian service. They help to give you not only a well-rounded education but also a firm start in pursuing an area of ministry before attending a 4-year seminary.
    Also, if you are a people person, Oklahoma Baptist University may be the college for you. OBU provides opportunities to interact with others, especially if you are interested in the campus ministry. Many of the on-campus jobs encompass the ability to converse and cooperate with other people. If you find that interesting, OBU may be a great college for you to consider attending in the fall. read full review

    Since OBU is expensive, file for financial aid and audition for scholarships available to your college pursuit. Follow every oppurtunity you receive.
    If you have a work schedule, let your advisor know about it when you enroll so they can take it into consideration while planning your class schedule. Let your advisors help you - that is what they are there for!! Ask them questions even if it sounds dumb. The advisors are SO helpful at OBU and will gladly answer all your questions.
    Also, college is stressful so recruit help in all types of ways. get help from parents, faculty/staff, friends, and fellow students. Have your family clip coupons to help you save money and ask for gift cards for Christmas to help relieve some financial strain. Use your professors office hours to look over papers and grades. Ask the faculty tips that will help you make that A in your toughest class. Get friends to go cheap for that fun night out and ask them to wait for you until you are done studying. Start group studies with fellow students if you are having trouble staying awake while reading that long chapter. Use every possible asset that is available to you to help you succeed in college and reach your dreams. read full review
