OCU invites prospects (especially athletes) on false premises by having preview days for prospective students. These days are filled with people and things that don't happen on a regular basis, they are simply a show. From the dining hall to Chapel, nothing is the norm on those days. As a student you are told we have to show our best face and lead them to believe this is the best place to be. If we don't and are part of any programs, there may be repercussions. As you become a student you slowly begin to figure out that what you are paying for is not what you are getting. There are just a few professors that have their act together, but that's just a few. The remaining of the staff that you have to deal with throughout your time is very unprofessional and your lucky to graduate on time with their dysfunctional system. The staff simply does not care. Do not be fooled by this school, you will come to regret every minute of it. Most of us just try to push hard and complete our degree as quick as we can to get out of here. b/c it is so miserable and mentally taxing day in and day out. Others move on and transfer.

Emma - 03/12/2021

Ohio Christian is a private Christian denomination affiliated with the Churches of Christ in the Christian Union. The campus is unique in the diversity of students, with one being the different cultural backgrounds of all the students. Even though diversity is large, the campus is rather small. A little over 3,000 students are enrolled and the student/teacher ratio is 11:1, which is absolutely incredible. Ohio Christian offers a more one-on-one approach in the classroom compared to a bigger college. I absolutely love the students, the professors, the faith-centered beliefs, and everything that comes with Ohio Christian.

Keyandra - 05/07/2020

I feel Ohio Christian University is a great place to learn and the professors are nice and understand long as you do what you need to do they will help you in every way they can the online programs are great. I love it a lot and cant wait to do my master degree online in Education

catherine - 12/11/2019

I didn't learn much, it was too easy. I would not have spent my money towards it. I had 4.0 gpa and it was very elementary. I didn't feel challenged and it was all Christian based which left out room for questioning beliefs. I would not recommend it to others.
