    I really enjoy the people at this school. For me to be very shy it was very easy to make friends. Everyone on my dorm floor supports everyone else anyway they can. Whether they play a sport, in the arts, or in an intermural, someone will be there cheering them on.

    Enjoying college is up to you. There are many rules here, and you may run into many people who will tell you how badly they want to leave, but honestly its up to you and how you treat it. Yes, the rules may get bothersome, but there is plenty to do within the rules that is still fun. I recommend getting involved in a campus ministry. On a side note The community here is amazing. One of the best i have ever seen.

    Everyone here is extremely friendly, and the student council creates many exciting events, especially at the beginning of the semester, to help students get to know each other much better. The professor, RA's, staff, and students are extremely personable and friendly and most are willing to help you through any struggles academically or in life.

    As I take more and more of my major classes, I have become more involved in my classes and they are more enjoyable. It has been great getting to know other students within my major. While I am receiving a great education, I am learning a lot about myself and life while at ONU. There are so many people around campus that I have formed great relationships with and have learned so much from. It is the people that make this school such a great place.
