I think it’s a great school the people are very welcoming. They make everyone feel safe. The class sizes are perfect because you can get the help you need more faster then any other college. I would give this school at 10/10. Sports are fun to go out and watch as well.

Elly - 10/12/2022

I love ODU. It is truly a home away from home and makes me feel safe. I have met new friends and love having the ability to always talk to my professors. They have very close relationships with their students and really create one on one connections. I love going to the games because everyone knows everyone so we can support our friends and classmates. I truly have found the best fit for me.

Madison

It's a small school where pretty much everybody knows one another. The campus is nice, but there is a limited amount of majors to choose from. People are friendly and I feel "safe" walking on campus. Food selections on campus are limited and I wish my Panther Point "currency" would be accepted at more locations near campus.

Fartun

i really like Ohio Dominican so far. The teachers are always willing to help you even outside class. The environment is great too and everyone here is so friendly and if you need help you can ask anyone and they will help you with no problem. It is easy to get to your classes and the classes are good size.
