Review of Oklahoma Christian University

from Fort Worth, TX

Describe your college in three sentences.

OC's main goal is to encourage their students to desire God in everything they do. They are committed to each individual and I rate this school a perfect 10. My school shows morality and humility in everything that they do.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Tips for prospective students is to visit the school to see how great it is. When you get there everyone will be willing to help you with anything you need.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The teachers are very capable of helping you to learn what you need to learn in order to be successful. They are here to push you to find the answer and to think on your own. The teachers here want you to succeed and expect you to put your best foot forward. OC is one of the top schools academically among others.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There are curfew times while staying in the dorms but the time are very understandable. The latest curfew time is 1:00am. The hall directors will make sure you are in you dorms after that curfew time to ensure you're safety at all time. The cost to wash your clothes is completely free. There is a lobby area in the dorms where you can hang out and watch appropriate movies with all your friends including one's from the opposite sex but with supervision of course. The rules are very much reasonable as far as boys/girls in the opposite dorms and such. The community bathroom are kept clean and you can study anywhere.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The cafe is open for a good length of time with nonstop meals. If they are out of something they will quickly refill it. There is an omelet bar during breakfast time where you watch the cooks make your eggs in front of you. They serve everything in each food group for lunch and dinner as well.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

OC has many areas where you can just hang out and do proactive things with your classmates. There's sand volleyball and ping pong tables. You can also play pool. Our gym is open to everyone if you want to go and swim in the pool or just lift some weights and get in shape. A Lot of people mingle while working out. Just about anywhere on the campus you can sit and play your guitar or listen to someone playing their music.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

This is a private university so it definetely costs but it is small and intimate so you're not just a number here. Most of the people you meet you will see them all the time. They provide a caring and giving environment with great Christian values. They are also patient and understanding with payments and everything.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Every year when incoming freshman come to OC they is just a full week dedicated to them. There are a bunch of bonding activities. There is a signature volleyball competition as well as video challenges among different groups an so on. The freshman go to Dry Glutch and have fun swimming and playing games. We ride go karts and other fun activities while also taking time out to worship. The freshman also put on a talent show and even the faculty and staff but on a talent show as well.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have a lot of clubs. We have intramural sports teams where each club on campus competes against one another. The sports are softball, kickball, ping pong, flag football, two person volleyball, swimming, and many more. The clubs range from delta, freshman club, gamma rho, and other sororities and fraternities.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There is a police station on campus so whenever you need help or anything they are right there and there is also a number that you can easily reach them at as well.
