Otterbein is one of the most beautiful campuses that I have ever been on. The staff is incredibly hospitable, and your opinion really does matter, if you express it. There are plenty of resources for help in any subject that you are in, if you need the tutoring, and don't ever be scared or embarrassed to find that help.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you don't like something, you need to express your opinion to Otterbein, because they do care. Another helpful hint is don't ever be afraid to reach out for help, whether it be someone to talk to, going to the health center, or the tutoring options that are free to you!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes are very personal, with smaller numbers so you can get to know your professors and ask any questions you may have. It is all very manageable, however don't think it is easy. You have to work for what you're trying to achieve.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Depending on where you live, you may have a better living space, but the community won't be as nice. Depending on what you're more interested in, Dunlap King is not as nice living quarters, but the community is like a big dorm full of family. Whereas, Clements Hall is very nice living conditions, but the community may not be as homey.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There is always a large selection of varieties of food. Different cultured food is easily accessible in the Campus Center. Also, if you leave comment cards, they ALWAYS read them and will value your opinion and try to get whatever you want in there within the week. I, however, must say that you will feel limited sometimes as the deserts are usually obscure and dry, along with the OtterDen always changing and not always for the better.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are unlimited amounts of activities to do. Once a month there is a free movie night at the Hollywood Theaters if you show your ID. There are countless sports and extra-curricular activities to do as well. Greek life is a fun way to get involved as well. There are different clubs to join including but not limited to, theater, condom club, GLBTQA group, and many more. One last thing is the school and a local church loves to cook for us! Spaghetti dinners and pancake breakfast at 11pm is always a great way to get out of the study sessions.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We have the rock that as long as you wait 3 days, you can sneak over at night and repaint with anything that you are sporting. The rock also tells you about any activities that may be going on in the week as well!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is a wonderful way to get involved. As a member of Tau Delta, I can say that you will find a circle of friends that will always be there for you, no matter what. You are involved in fundraising, a philanthropy, countless service events, social opportunities, and a scrapbook of memories that will last throughout your whole life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I have never felt threatened on campus, as we have our own personal police department patrolling Otterbein 24/7 and you can call them at any time. Also, if for some reason you are feeling unsafe, you can call them at any time and they will pick you up and take you to wherever you need to go. You can call them and they will also take you to the health center if you don't feel you are able to get there yourself. They are a fantastic force.
