The professors here are great in their field. Do not be afraid of the academics because it is not Harvard or a big school like that, we still have amazing professors who teach us about the subject field and life from a Christian perspective. Olivet is really great for the fields of Ministry/Theology, Education, and Nursing, but is great at everything else as well.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Everyone here is extremely friendly, and the student council creates many exciting events, especially at the beginning of the semester, to help students get to know each other much better. The professor, RA's, staff, and students are extremely personable and friendly and most are willing to help you through any struggles academically or in life.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Let's be honest, it is expensive, but for being a private school, it is actually average in price. It is definitely worth the price to go though, the campus is becoming more beautiful everyday, the staff is incredible, and the experience is unrivaled!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Go to as many events as you can, such as Ollies Follies, and meet as many people as possible. Also sign up for as many scholarships with the University and on sites such as Cappex and Fastweb as you can. Do not be discouraged if you have a lot to pay for Olivet the first year there are several opportunities at the end of your Freshman year that you can sign up for such as Traveling Bands and Foundation Scholarships. Also take advantage of the skills that you have like playing an instrument or playing a sport by playing on a team or band because they give out pretty good money for being a part of those.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Christian students, hard workers, Ministry/Religion majors, Education majors, Nursing majors, Those looking for a not tiny but not huge school (there is about 2,600 full-time undergraduate students) and those looking for an awesome college experience and opportunities such as study abroad and short term missions trips.
