Categories Rating Comments 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.
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.
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.
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.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.Login to rate or flag the reviews

Categories Rating Comments 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.
Great for these types of students Anyone who wants to continue their education after high school while being in a christian setting would feel right at home at OC.

Categories Rating Comments 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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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.
Great for these types of students There is something at OC for anyone who has an open mind.
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!
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!
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!!

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences 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.
Tips for prospective students 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.
Academic Rigor very sophisticated and strait foward.
Dorm Life i live off campus, but after going to other schools and being a campus police officer, the dorms at oc appear to be high quality with a good standard of living.
Food and Dining the school itself has many options and varieties of food and snacking.
the campus is located in edmond so the options on dining are unlimited.What to do for fun it's in the outskirts of oklahoma city, so pretty much anything you want to do.
Campus Safety everyone seems to have a safe and courteous attitude. very little or no crime to speak of.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences 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.
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!
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.
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.
Food and Dining oklahoma christian has several options in regards to food. each student will choose from a variety of meal plans in which they will have a number of meals in the cafeteria as well as a number of points that can be used at local restaurants.
What to do for fun oklahoma christian provides many options for activities during free time. these include a variety of intramural sports, a frisbee golf course, fitness centers, and a gym. also, locally is a riverwalk in bricktown, several movie theaters, parks, and other activities.

Categories Rating Comments 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.
Am enjoying being here It's a great campus with great people! Very friendly, and so many opportunities to get involved!
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!
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.
Great for these types of students Engineering. Nursing. Art. Education.
Christian. People wanting to get involved. Open-minded.Login to rate or flag the reviews

Lindsey from Saint Louis, MO

Categories Rating Comments 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.
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.
What to do for fun there are not a lot of things to do unless you enjoy sports and watching pg movies.
Great for these types of students students who are born and raised in the church of christ faith.
Greek Life their own made up social clubs is a mockery of greek life and should not be at a christian college.

Reviewer is Accepted here and planning to attend soon. Reviewer has been to campus.
Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot Going to visit there and sitting in on the classes it seems like I can learn A lot!!! This school will give you all the skills you need to succeed in your field, and all be founded on the corner stone of God.
Will enjoy being here I loved going there. The teachers all love the students and one of the teachers had all the students write me amazing letters on what the school means to them. It was awesome! the students are all amazing also and will help you with what ever you could need.
Bang for the buck It is the best Christian background ever. They will teach you everything for your field of study and you will have enough bible background to be a well knowledge d leader in your church.
Tips for prospective students Be ready for anything, this place is where you will start your life. Meet your wife/husband, become a great church leader, start a family, and get a degree
Great for these types of students Church of Christ, even atheist go here. Some one that wants to be able to start there life on the corner stone of God. Someone that one day wants to start a Church of Christ and be an amazing leader in that and in society. EVERYONE!!!

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Oklahoma Christian University is a great university in anyone wanting to earn a degree in higher education in a Godly community.
Tips for prospective students Freshman curfew will take some getting used to, but dont let it discourage you from having a fun first year.
Academic Rigor I have know idea.
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.
Food and Dining The food sucks.
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.
Bang for the buck OC is over priced in my opinion, but it is a private school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have bow tie thursdays and thats the only tradition I know about.
Great for these types of students Christians or any athlete.
Clubs and Activities There is so many different clubs and activities at OC.
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.
Campus Safety OC has an outstanding security system its annoying...

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences oklahoma christian university is a good school because students not only excel in the classroom but are provided with hands on activities that enhance their character. the university has successfully demonstrated a good foundation for building firm foundations upon which student can build their future lives.
Tips for prospective students before attending a university research the university's mission statement and learn if it's the right fit for you. your success rate depends highly upon how well you fit into the university you choose to attend.
never hold back from fear. ask questions and be a go getter and you will be remembered by teachers, deans, president's and potential employers.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.
Dorm Life the dorm life at oklahoma christian varies. recently, an honors dorm has been the newest addition to the campus sleeping quarters. as a freshman both genders will experience the joy of a lifetime when they meet their first room mates and share a room. sophomores can apply for more expensive housing in the university house which is a gender separated co-ed dorm with maximum security cameras and lock down doors to ensure both gender's remain on appropriate sides. junior and senior students may live in one of many upper division apartments directly beside the campus and enjoy bigger bedrooms, bathtubs, large living room with provided furniture and kitchen space.
Food and Dining dining at oklahoma christian is more of a hotel all you can eat extravaganza. the dining room seating approximately 2,000 students is covered with thick carpet that can be seen under a large crystal chandelier. the food ranges from a buffet of salads and soups to asian and african foods made specifically for each student.
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.Bang for the buck you gain opportunities no money can buy when you attend oklahoma christian university. as a public relations, advertising and journalism student, the university provided me with the opportunity to co-host a corporate communications tour of the oklahoma city thunder's nba team. you learn out of classroom skills that are essential to your future success.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus an annual tradition at oklahoma christian university is the holiday hussle. university and local community members gather together for a 5k race in november.
spring sing is another tradition that has students, faculty, alumni and communities far and wide have come to love and enjoy. clubs compete through dance and music to achieve the ultimate prize of recognition and a club trophy.Great for these types of students oklahoma christian university is great for american students because here you encounter a variety of subcultures. the university has an active relationship with china and japan as well as several countries from africa, new zealand, austria, germany among many others. here you encounter and develop worldwide friendships that that enhance your cultural awareness.
Clubs and Activities whether your a nerd, an athlete, a victorias secret girl or a bible major, oklahoma christian provides a club that fits you. here, you will can rush a club of your choice after completing your freshman year and fees are made affordable to any student.
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.
Campus Safety 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.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences oklahoma christian university is a wonderful college for those who seek to follow god and even those who are unsure about their faith. professors are kind and supportive and friendly. the student body isn't just your graduating class; it's like a giant family.
Tips for prospective students be sure you know where you would like to live and what you would like to study, because oc offers many majors, minors, and learning opportunities.
Academic Rigor oc isn't too laid back, and all of the teachers push you to do your best.
Dorm Life your friends may or may not live around you, but campus is small enough that you can easily walk from dorm to dorm, and everyone is friendly.
Food and Dining at times, it may not be the absolute best, but u dining offers many delicious meals that are filling, healthy, and much better than eating ramen or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
What to do for fun i honestly love to sit in the forum and read when the sun is out. i also sometimes drive around town with my friends.
Clubs and Activities clubs are so much fun! you get to rush clubs full of amazing people who are just like you and do what you like and they become like a family away from your family.
Campus Safety oc has certified, licensed police officers who patrol campus daily and they are available to be called if you feel unsafe at any given moment.

Categories Rating Comments 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.
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.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.
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.
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!
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.
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!

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences oklahoma christian is a wonderful campus, that is vibrant with student life and bases a high priority on learning with a christian perspective. the faculty are engaging in class and are easily accessible for the students to contact with questions after or before the classes start. lastly, there are so many opportunities to get involved on campus and in the community that you'll soon find yourself feeling right at home with everyone around you.
Tips for prospective students get involved early. the teachers make classes fun and enjoyable to the point that you find yourself with a lot of free time. and what could be a better way of spending that free time than with friends doing something for the community.
Academic Rigor though some of the class subjects can be difficult, you'll find out early that the teachers enjoy teaching and you'll be surprised at how eager they are too help with any problems.
Dorm Life the dorms aren't the greatest thing ever here at oc, but if you'll take the time to know your room mates, you'll find yourself enjoying it.
Food and Dining from amazing breakfast omelets to chicken cordon bleu they cook it all in the cafeteria, and they cook it well.
What to do for fun there are many activities to do here on campus such as basketball, intramural flag football, disk golf, and everything in between.
Bang for the buck it is rather expensive, but however, it is the best money you could spend for an education.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus they have a rather romantic tradition in the fact that if a couple plans to get married and the go to school on campus then the proposal has to happen next to the fountain on school grounds near sunset.
Great for these types of students students that want to be engaged in their student body, and that want to learn in a christian environment.
Clubs and Activities intramural sports and many charity clubs that do drives for other world countries and in-town mission feilds.
Greek Life there are many greek houses on campus, none of which i am involved in yet, but would like to do so in the future.
Campus Safety the campus has it's own police force with a station and security systems.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences I absolutely love going to OC. It is a great school to learn and grow as a
Christian. It's a small, clean campus with a lot of friendly and interesting people.Tips for prospective students Definitely visit the campus to make sure that you like it. And of course make sure you can afford it.
Academic Rigor Like any college, it depends on the classes you take, whether the course work will be hard or not. So far the classes are not super easy or impossible hard.
Dorm Life The dorms are a great way to meet new people. They are clean.
Food and Dining The cafe has some pretty good food, and it is all you can eat.
What to do for fun They are intramurals for many sports. There is also many other activities that are planned.
Bang for the buck OC is a private college, so it is pretty pricey. The academics are great and so is the atmosphere. Plus you get a Macbook and an idevice.
Great for these types of students People who want to go to a small school. This is a great place to grow spiritually.
Campus Safety The campus is small, so even if you are out late, there is usually a short walk back to the dorms. Campus police are always on hand.

Categories Rating Comments 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.
Great for these types of students Modest people who don't mind going to a small school.
