An excellent Christian college that offers a good variety of degrees, while personalizing your education experience. The faculty, staff, and students are extremely friendly, and anyone will feel right at home, including our students from other countries! Whether you are a Christian or not, you will find your home, your education, and your closest friends here at OVU.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be shy. Ask the students and the faculty anything. You can learn about the best classes to take, which social club to join, and anything about God by just asking.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Great classes that are challenging, but the only catch is that you won't be able to blend in with the crowd because the crowd is small.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Noisy. Smelly. Obnoxious athletes, but great friends.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Excellent cafeteria food that is just minutes away from any dorm.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Not a whole lot. You'll find that as the semester progresses, more and more people go home on the weekends. I have fun by hanging out with my girlfriend, who lives nearby, hanging out with friends at the nearby mall or on campus, or by going to the computer lab or the library or the gym to hang out.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
A great Christian experience, but it is a bit expensive. However, I don't know of a single person that doesn't have scholarships here! The school does a GREAT job of helping students financially.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Chapel is every weekday at 11, and you are required to attend 50/75 each semester. Not close to much of anything if you don't have a car, but if you do, you are a few hours from Pittsburgh, DC, Columbus, Charleston, and Cleveland.

Everyone!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Everyone gets super involved in the intramural sports! It's a blast!!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Four social clubs to choose from: Kappa, Sigma, Theta and Delta. Great people in all of them!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus security is minutes away 24/7! The RAs are friendly, nice, and keep the ruckus to a minimum.
