ORU is, in my opinion, one of the best colleges in the country. The professors and faculty are caring and loving, and they are willing to pray with you and for you. The campus is small, but beautiful, and everything that the school has to offer is top notch.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Attend all of your classes--attendance is taken and your grade will be knocked down if you miss more than the amount of skips you have.
Attend all chapel services--you get fined $50 if you skip a service.
Take in everything the school has to offer. It'll truly change your life.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academics are huge at ORU. The school focuses on educating the whole person, which is the mind, the body, and the spirit. The classes you take that go towards your major are top of the line, and the teachers expect nothing but the best out of you.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms in all honesty aren't that bad. There are four dorm options for the girls (Gabrielle, Claudius, Susie, and Frances), and there are three for the boys (EMR, Wesley, and Michael). All of the dorms feel more like a home than a dorm room. Sure, there could be improvements, but I feel like the dorms at ORU are much better than some other colleges around the country.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are several options for food on campus. Our main food source is our cafeteria, which is known as Saga. We have a Chick-Fil-A, Moe's, Hava Java, Jazzman's, Freshens, and a few other food/drink places on campus. You won't be too disappointed here when it comes to food. Sometimes saga isn't the best, but most of the time they are.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Intramural sports, Student Association activities, playing games and watching tv in the Armend Hammer Student Center are all on campus activities. There are more throughout each semester. Tulsa, Oklahoma also offers several fun things to do all over the town, and a lot of those things are free or at a low price.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The school is expensive, but as long as you truly work hard and are at the school for the right reasons, you will most definitely get your money's worth!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
All the buildings are unusually shaped, which makes the campus very unique and very beautiful. I'm unsure of any unusual traditions, but we do have back to school parties every fall semester, we have this thing called wing-cest which is basically when a girl and a boy on brother/sister wings start dating, Ring by Spring, and more.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Christians who would like to go farther on their walk with God and get an education that is irreplaceable.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's several different clubs and activities that are always going on (i.e. Missions & Outreach, Spanish Club, International Club, several different honor societies).
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is no Greek like due to the fact that we are a private Christian college. Although, every wing (floor in the dorms) is given a floor name and they all have a brother and/or sister wing. This is the closest thing to Greek life at ORU.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Security is wonderful! They are always on the location that they are needed at in a matter of minutes, and they are always willing to help.
