Oklahoma Baptist University has a very welcoming atmosphere and caring student body. The diversity on campus makes OBU stand out from other colleges since we are represented by 35 foreign countries. I love OBU because I was able to build strong relationships with my peers, professors, and God while on Bison Hill.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
-APPLY, APPLY, APPLY! The application process is super easy because there is no essay or application fee so it's worth filling out!
-Ask questions and get to know the Admissions Counselor for your area- all of them are super helpful and really care about getting to know you, which makes the search for colleges less stressful
-Come visit campus- OBU is such a great place and it is somewhere you just have to see for yourself. Going on a campus tour can also give you information about campus life from an actual students point of view!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Though OBU is a challenging school they offer an ample amount of help to aid students in doing the best they can! OBU has a 13:1 student to professor ratio so it makes it easy to get to know your professors. When I was struggling in a class I had a professor sit aside office hours just to tutor me over the material we were learning and that not only helped me pass the class, but also gained trust in the professors on campus because they are so willing to help their students. We also have the Student Success Center on campus, which is where students can go when they need help with school work. They host study sessions, offer tutoring services for homework, and have writers assistants for essays, thank you letters, and so much more! And the best part is you don't have to pay for it!
