    Great for these types of students

    Everyone, sports orientated (except football) Engineering, Art, Theatre, Communications, Nursing, Accounting, the good the bad the ugly. This school is great for everyone, it really depends if everyone is willing to attend is all. It is a Christian University and really that is what attracted me to the school. I wanted to be in an environment where God is the center and even when I know that I was doing wrong, I would know where to turn. Which is back to Christ.
    Tips for prospective students

    Show up to class on time, and take lots of notes or have a friend who can do both. Have fun but not too much fun. When you are feeling down, don't hold in all of your feelings inside. The school also provides counseling for really tough times and there are support groups. The food is good but don't over load. Freshman fifteen is the new size two. Enjoy but be smart. You are accountable for all of your actions.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is a private institution which means it will cost more. However each student is provided with a MacBook, and the choice of an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. Not to mention using the school's laundry facilities is free. You are definitely getting what you pay for and more. The food is not half bad either.
    Am enjoying being here

    The staff and faculty are very nice. They want the best for the students and believe that we can handle what we are given. Whenever you are feeling overwhelmed, there is always someone that you can go to for advice or extra help whether it is your RA or your roommate. Have fun but do not have too much fun. At times the campus may seem quiet, especially on the weekends but it doesn't hurt to make your own noise sometimes.
    Am learning a lot

    The classes right now are just the basics for me personally so they are not amazing but much needed. I never realized how much math I did not know and napping in class is definitely not a habit you would like to build up. Overall you just have to learn how to be responsible for getting the work done and getting it done on time.

    Anyone who wants to continue their education after high school while being in a christian setting would feel right at home at OC.
    Bang for the buck

    For the technology they give you and all the things you get to do just for being a student, OC is affordable and worth every dollar of it.

    Greek Life

    their own made up social clubs is a mockery of greek life and should not be at a christian college.
    Great for these types of students

    students who are born and raised in the church of christ faith.
    What to do for fun

    there are not a lot of things to do unless you enjoy sports and watching pg movies.
    Tips for prospective students

    read their doctrine and make sure you agree with everything before attending. keep in mind that more than half of the students are only seeking love and not a degree. if you are not church of christ, you are treated as an outcast and chapel is almost always a disappointment.
    In three sentences

    at oklahoma christian university, you will receive a poor education but surely gain a husband or wife. their classes hardly challenge the student body to further their intelligence but at least they are attending church for a mere twenty minutes a week day. although their first focus is playing match-maker, they at least preach to their students that god should come first in one's life.

    safety is a high priority for the university. dean of students neil arder has been known to call campus meetings where he briefs all students on campus safety tips and new and improved security measures. there are several campus policemen who patrol the campus and the streets surrounding on a 24-hour day basis. students are aware of potential dangers, however there is a feeling of safety and friendship throughout the campus community.
    Greek Life

    greek life can be found in the bible department where professors share greek culture with students. the mannerism of aristotle can often be seen in the teachings of numerous professors throughout the university and the history department provides opportunity to discover the greek culture and how it affects american pop culture.
    Clubs and Activities

    What to do for fun

    weekly events are constantly taking place in the communications department. the public relations student society of america oklahoma christian chapter takes a monthly tour of a regional public relations firm. the theater department holds plays and musicals including beauty and the beast and improvisational acts. students often congregate in the student center located in the middle of campus where they can play ping pong, fuss-ball or pool. during the summer time, university students are seen playing sports in the commons area of green centered between all campus dorms. within a five minute drive you can visit quail springs mall or enjoy the local skating ring here in edmond oklahoma.

    Academic Rigor

    academically, oklahoma christian is a challenging university. although they're mainly known for their engineering department, you can major in communications, psychology, history, political science and biology among many others. the university expects you to ask questions instead of simply taking notes. as a student, it's your duty at oklahoma christian to take pride in excellence and achieve the most out of your academic experience as possible.

    Campus Safety

    Our campus security are police certified. They are OC Police Officers. They are always on duty and patrolling our university. Nothing bad ever really takes place at OC, but when and if it ever does, OC Police have it covered!!
    Greek Life

    The fraternities and sororities at OC are called social clubs. They put on a production called spring sing every year. Some aim to win. Some aim to lose. There are intramurals. These clubs hold great traditions. They also have so much fun all the time. They have families in which so many members get together frequently and love on each other. These are friends for a lifetime!
    Clubs and Activities

    There are different social clubs on campus. These take place for fraternities and sororities. There is one for everyone. There are many organizations such as wishing well, give a goat, outreach, modern abolitionists, and many other clubs available on campus.There are athletic groups such as a tennis team, soccer team, basketball, baseball, softball, cheerleading, and other sports teams. There are academic groups like debate team. There is a gaming club. At OC there is a club for just about anyone!
    Great for these types of students

    There is something at OC for anyone who has an open mind.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    When someone gets engaged, the guy is thrown in the pond. The girls host a candlelighting for the one engaged and play a guessing game to see who became engaged. They have lighting of the Commons, which is a great night filled with hot cochoa and singing. Followed by a countdown until the entire campus is lit with beautiful lights.
    Bang for the buck

    OC is semi expensive. They try to find a scholarship for everyone. The amount of money does not matter once you realize what OC has in store for you. My first semester I considered going somewhere else, but then I began to spend one semester fully asserting myself. After all I was paying for all this. I began learning who I was, facing challenges, meeting people, and enjoying my surroundings. If I was offered a full ride to a local university, I would turn it down for OC!!
    What to do for fun

    Study abroad trips to New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Vienna, and several other places are available. During fall break and Spring break there are mission trips available to all students at a cheap price clost to $65. There are always events occurring on campus. Students are often playing frisbee golf, soccer, or just hanging out. We can take a trip to bricktown, ice skating rink, or just about anywhere in Oklahoma City with a short drive. Don't have a car? That's okay, you will meet plenty of people that do. OC usually has a play or music production happening. There are always service projects and clubs or organizations holding fun events.
    Food and Dining

    The food is average cafeteria food. However our Eagle Bucks are available to be used at Jimmy Johns, Chic Fil A, the OC Snackbar/grill, and a yummy mexican restaurant, Alfredo's. The best part, the points are tax free. This saves you money. The Cafeteria food is made with an attempt for something for everybody. The fresh salad bar, the cereal, the panini/sandwich/soup bar, the international line, the grill/chef line, the italian/pizza/pasta bar, and the regular line. They have special occasion nights in the Cafeteria where they serve food for a certain ethnic group or occasion or holiday. When visitors are on campus, the food is amazing!
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is so amazing. Your RA's and Hall Director listen to anything and everything. They really seek to guide you and help you. They create many opportunities for students to come together. They lead weekly devotionals. People meet each other and OC becomes more like home than your own home.
    Academic Rigor

    If you have never studied before, like myself, you will learn to. The classes are challenging, but they are also eye opening. The classes connect God to the subject. They are intellectually stimulating. You will not leave OC having not learned anything.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! The more activities you do, the more people you will meet. This will help with depression, networking, and making lifetime friends or mates. OC will feel like home if you become involved and learn your surroundings. Everyone is just as nervous and lonely as you until they meet people and get involved. This also helps with learning what is in store for your life and what you like to do. MAKE MEMORIES!
    In three sentences

    Their are professors that are very personal. They care about you. Great opportunity for an amazing college experience in a beautiful and caring environment.

    Engineering. Nursing. Art. Education. Christian. People wanting to get involved. Open-minded.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come in with an open mind! If you're a Christian, don't expect everyone to be just like you and believe everything you do. If you aren't a Christian be prepare to respect the beliefs of others, but don't think you'll be alone.
    Bang for the buck

    OC is pretty costly, I know, but to me it is worth it. Getting the experience of a Christian school where I don't have to be afraid to show my beliefs is great! Not every here believes the same thing, but we all discuss different beliefs and are pretty accepting. Of course that's not everyone, but a majority. It's worth it because of the friendly and helpful staff at Admissions, Student Life, Financial Aid, and Professors. If you are having trouble with money contact Financial Aid, they really helped me afford OC!
    Am enjoying being here

    It's a great campus with great people! Very friendly, and so many opportunities to get involved!
    Am learning a lot

    The professors are great! They are really there for you and understand what it's like to have everything due at once. I know that I can go to any of my professors' office and talk with them about my grades, ask questions about an assignment, or even just to get to know them a little better.

    Tips for prospective students

    I felt like when I visited the campus there was a lot of show going on. They tell you that you get a MacBook and the choice of another apple device and all this, but OC isn't for everyone. It's a small school with a lot of strict rules. Dress code, rules about the opposite sex, etc. I feel like I go to a boarding school, not college.

    Dorm Life

    as a freshman, i do not imagine that dorm life could be any better than what i experience at oklahoma christian. though the curfew rules and no males in the hallways may seem a little strict to some, the restrictions are truly a blessing to have. those restrictions allow the dorm room to be an excellent setting for fun as well as studying and sleeping. another great attribute to oklahoma christian dorm life is the activities planned throughout each semester to allow the girls living in the dorm to meet each other and learn more about each other. these activities include competitive games, craft times, and bible devotionals.
    Academic Rigor

    coming from a small high school in kansas, i wasn't sure that i would be ready for university requirements. however, oklahoma christian made that transition easy while challenging me to make a better effort academically than ever before. with dreams of being accepted to pharmacy school, i can confidently continue my educational career here at oc knowing that past performances of oc alumni and the challenges the faculty present me with, i will have a great chance at achieving my dream.
    Tips for prospective students

    be involved! oklahoma christian is a university that cares for its students. many activities go on throughout each semester to give students opportunities to make connections with the oklahoma christian community. do not pass up those opportunities! choose something, anything, to embark upon and get involved!

    i originally came to oklahoma christian university because the university is a faith based school be high statistics of students beings accepted to grad-school. however, i have found my time at oklahoma christian has been worth so much more than that. here at oklahoma christian, i have been tested to think outside of the box and have been challenged to search for my own answers.

    if your after a party environment or look forward to going to class in your pj's this is not the school for you. study hard in all math, computer, and science.

    oc is a very well orginized, student friendly orginization. students at oc stand above the students at other universities by taking pride in appearance and mannerisms. as an older student i am not easily impressed by the younger generations today, but oc sets a new standard in learning.

    Bang for the buck

    yes, oc is more expensive than state schools, but you get so much more for your money! the dorms are nice, the campus is beautiful, each students receives a mac book and an ipod touch or iphone upon arrival, etc. the list goes on!
    What to do for fun

    ice skating (free during sga date week! and you don't actually have to have a date), the zoo (tons of concerts at the okc zoo ampitheater, if you're into concerts), work out (oc is building a new outdoor 5k running trail which will be completed in july 2012), get involved in sga.
    Food and Dining

    the cafeteria is... a cafeteria. not a five star restaurant, but there are always options to choose from. there's also a grill in the student center with wings, burgers, salads, subs, etc. and oc students can now use points at jimmy johns, chick-fil-a and alfredo's mexican restaurant. plenty of options for everyone!
    Dorm Life

    especially important freshman year. yes, you have midnight curfew during the week and you'll think it's terrible the first month until you realize that all your friends have the same curfew as you and you're all in the same building. the dorms are really where you get to know a bunch of people.
    Academic Rigor

    oc has extremely high standards for academic success. it's not high school, you won't make an a in every class, and you'll do a lot more work. but that work really pays off. you'll learn more than you imagined and future employers will see your degree from oklahoma christian and know you come from a respected university.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. take 15 hours freshman year. there is a ton of stuff to do on campus, and freshman year is when you really get to know everyone. 2. rush a club. if you think you don't have time, rush anyways and be a part time member. there are a lot of things on campus that clubs are a part of that you'll miss out on if you're not in a club (like spring sing!). 3. get to know your teachers, especially if you're not doing as well in their class as you would like. they will help you if they can see that you're really making an effort in their class.
    In three sentences

    oc has a small student body and with that come several things to keep in mind: 1. oc is a family 2. your professors will be like your parents sometimes 3. everyone here will help you if you just ask.

    Campus Safety

    OC has an outstanding security system its annoying...
    Greek Life

    At OC we do not have greek life but we do have clubs. Our clubs are the same as greek life but we dont live in a house together.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is so many different clubs and activities at OC.
    Great for these types of students

    Christians or any athlete.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    We have bow tie thursdays and thats the only tradition I know about.
    Bang for the buck

    OC is over priced in my opinion, but it is a private school.
    What to do for fun

    I personally play soccer for OC and i am pretty busy with training during the week. On the weekends, I usually go to the movies or party with friends.
    Food and Dining

    The food sucks.
    Dorm Life

    At OC, boys and girls are not allowed in each others dorms but they are allowed in the apartments. Freshman year you have a required curfew but its not as bad as you think.
    Academic Rigor

    I have know idea.
    Tips for prospective students

    Freshman curfew will take some getting used to, but dont let it discourage you from having a fun first year.

    Campus Safety

    I have never felt unsafe at OC.
    Greek Life

    OC has social club because we are a christian campus. But like I said above, I'm only a Freshman. Therefore, I can not rush a club until next year. However, I am really excited to do so!
    Clubs and Activities

    OC always has something either going on or coming up. You are never really bored. Since I'm only just finished with my freshman year, I will not be able to rush club until i go back in the fall. However, from what I've heard it is a great experience.
    Great for these types of students

    OC is awesome for people who are looking to strengthen their relationship with God and other christians while also furthering their formal education. The classes are small to medium and your teachers will know you by name.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    One of my favorite things is lighting of the Commons. Every tree at OC is covered in lights and turned on at the same time. Everyone gathers under the pavillion and counts down together. Then, Santa Clause comes, hot coco is served, letters are written to our soldiers overseas, horse-drawn carriage rides are given, and carols are sung. It really is a special night!
    Bang for the buck

    It is a private university so the cost is higher. However you can see the places money is being used for. They are mostly for students and it seems like our best interest is usually taken to heart.
    What to do for fun

    I enjoy spending time at Bricktown in OKC. The atmosphere is fun and unique and the river walk is pretty. It's something nice to do for a night on the town. However, when money is tight, OC always has something going on at student life and with club! My friends and I like to be outside so when the weather is nice we will play ultimate frisbee, campus golf, capture the flag, ect.
    Food and Dining

    Ok, the Caf works hard to give you the best dinning experience they can. But in the end, cafeteria food can only get so good. They will take all your comments though and usually those comments will actually be placed into action. The points you get to use at Chickfila, Jimmy Johns, and Alfedo's are very nice though!
    Dorm Life

    Some of the dorms are older and some are newer. Which one you get depends on how much money you want to spend. Your RA's are awesome and lots of fun. You will have a curfew for your freshman year and, while it can be annoying, it can also lead to some fun nights locked in a building with 200 other people.
    Academic Rigor

    I am a biology student at OC and I am constantly challenged. In high school I was an 'A' student. However at OC I have made 3 Bs and 1 C. The professors will challenge you, but they really care about you and will do everything they can to help you reach your goals.
    Tips for prospective students

    Try to put yourself out there and really get to know the people of OC. Take a campus visit so you can really get the feel for the school and determine if it is the place for you. Know what you are looking for in a college and then determine if OC fits the bill
    In three sentences

    Oklahoma Christian has the best atmosphere because you are surrounded by genuine and good people. The OC community is filled with people out to fulfill the will of God and thus allow you to create friendships that a such a deep substance. Your teachers, fellow students, and staff really care about you and will do all they can to help you out!

    Classes are not easy; some people don't think a Christian school can be challenging, but their wrong.
    Tips for prospective students

    Have a positive attitude about chapel, and if you don't like regular chapel, try alternative chapels.

    If there is anything that you want to see being served in the cafeteria, write it on the comment cards available or tell your residential advisor. Oklahoma Christian really does take the students suggestions and wishes very seriously. Once I asked if more fresh fruit could be served and there was more fruit available starting the very next week and it continued all throughout the semester.
    Academic Rigor

    Oklahoma Christian has diverse offerings and programs to study. Each one is top notch and extremely challenging.

    What to do for fun

    Personally, I am a fairly athletic person and therefore love to go for walks and runs. On campus there is now a great running trail, and there is also a nice little park just north of the school. As far as getting away from campus for fun, Oklahoma City is close enough that it offers a great hub for fun activities.
    Food and Dining

    The food at OC could definitely use some improvement, but what college cafeteria is perfect? There is always a good variety of food to choose from, and the quality is fairly good for the smaller school that OC is.
    Dorm Life

    I have thoroughly enjoyed dorm life so far! However, keep in mind that all freshmen have curfew!
    Academic Rigor

    I have been very impressed with the level of academics at Oklahoma Christian University, the school is surprisingly acclaimed for its size.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure that OC offers the Major you want. Although the school does offer a surprising number of options, watch out for the few that it misses. Also, keep in mind that some majors are more sought-after than others, and therefore come with more built-in scholarships.

    I am in the honors program at OC and the level of education is difficult, challenging, yet extremely rewarding. Also the OC professors are there for you! The staff is always helpful and encourages students further studies and they are interested in your life and success at OC
    Tips for prospective students

    Students should understand that college is a fun place to make friends that will last for a lifetime, but they also need to understand that in order to get the best out of their college experience they need to buckle down and study.
    In three sentences

    OC is a great environment to create personal connections with professors and students. Students are challenged to study hard and discuss their intuitive thoughts. Students are encouraged to take their learning outside of the 'OC Bubble' by participating in mission trips, community service, and being active in their local churches.

    Dorm Life

    The dorms are kind of small, but then again what do you expect? The roommates here are spectacular since we have international students it is amazing to be roomed with one so you can learn about other cultures rather than your own. With me being a Family Studies major, I think it is awesome that they pair you up with international students. Dorms are dorms, but they are fairly nice.

I am going on my 3rd month into my first semester and things are starting to pick up, but everything is going very well. The teachers are always eager to help you, because they want you to succeed. Also, they set you up with a lot of resources. There is no excuse for bad grades in most of your classes. As long as you listen to the lectures, take notes, and do your tests.. you should be amazing!
    Tips for prospective students

    Sign up for their online community and make friends. That's how I meant some of the people at school I hang out with now. Most importantly, open up! Say hi to everyone because I guarantee a conversation will be started. Attend campus events as well. It will help you get familiar with the campus. Also, when Earn Your Wings approaches remember to let loose and have fun. That's where you are going to meet some of your best friends!
