The Professors here are extremely knowledgeable. I am a Theology Major and we are truly blessed to have such a strong leadership at ORU. I know that I will leave ORU with the knowledge that I didn't waste time by coming here, and that I was truly given an opportunity to excel.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Oral Roberts University was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. To say that I enjoy being here is like saying that standing out in the rain will probably get you wet. The atmosphere around campus is very God-centered, and very joyous. Our President, Dr. Rutland, is a true blessing to this campus and has worked hard to make sure that the life as a commuter (which I am) and a residential student are both pleasant experiences. There are people here from every walk of life, 49 states, and over 70 countries. We have Catholics, Christians, people new to the Faith, and people brought-up in the Church. The environment is so warming and loving, you will wake up every day with the true desire to attend class.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Oral Roberts University is expensive for some, not as expensive for others. I don't come from a family with lots of College Savings, but ORU has helped so much. Their Financial Aid department is a real blessing, and they have made it possible for me to attend this fantastic University. With the quality of the staff, the loving and rich atmosphere, and the networking that you will have available, the price-tag is well-worth the prospect of what ORU has to offer.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Network. Network. Network. I cannot stress this point enough. Yes, keep your grades up, but also- get to know the people sitting next to you in class. Get to know your floor-mates, and those around you at school. You are attending a University of world changers, and your future will lie among these men and women. The ties you will find at ORU will stay for a lifetime and you will not regret it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Everyone with a passion for God, for themselves, and for their fellow man, should apply. Even if you've been a Christian for a week, a seasoned believer, or you are still debating the 'whole Christ thing', you should apply. The environment is so loving and understanding, you will WANT to be here. No one should be without the experience of a campus like the one at Oral Roberts University.
