Around Town

The town of Arkadelphia does not have much to do in it, but Hot Springs and Little Rock are not that far away. Dallas is only 4 hours away and that makes for a fun weekend with lots of good, clean options for entertainment. OBU makes up for the lack of activities available in the town by providing many varied types of activities on campus. Some of these activities are service-related while others are strictly for fun or friendly competition. I have never been bored or lacked opportunities to have fun while at OBU.

A lot of students will drive down to Hot Springs for fun sometimes. Students will do campus drive arounds or other clean fun things to do on campus.

I play sports and just hangout with friends.

Ride around town, hang out at the student center, go to Wal-Mart.

Since Arkadelphia is a small town it is difficult to find something to do, so you have to make your own fun, be open-minded, and have very large imagination.

Float the Caddo, intramural sports, RecLife trips, hammock, play a sport, go to Hot Springs or Little Rock, go out to eat, Rock climbing wall, Refuge, Service Opportunities, and much more!

Play frisbee, go muddying, hiking, camping, fishing, basketball, soccer, volleyball, rock climbing.

Lots of activities to get invo Ved in in college, however the town does not offer much.

Ouachita Baptist University is built on the lake! There is always something going on there that you can be a part of. There is also the river that students float in their spare time to relax and take their minds off of their stresses for awhile. Then, there are friends. I have met some of the most amazing people while here and i can tell you that they are a part of what makes time here so wonderful.

Ouachita offers many things to do outside of just academics. Recreational sports; such as softball, basketball, soccer, etc. are a few things to do throughout the year. Campus ministries and campus activities do several things all year such as backyard Bible club and movie nights.
