Oklahoma Christian University Top Questions

It is very religious based. The school is formed around the Church of Christ. The school is very strict in their views, which is eye opening for students that are not from that religious background. The school is a very normal thing for the students who grew up in a Church of Christ home. I think the school offers a different perspective to students who aren't Church of Christ because it allows them to maybe adapt and change their views on life.

I like that I can be walking to class and smile at everyone I pass and they smile back, or they'll even say hi. Another thing is that if a guy sees a girl walking up to a door he will open it or if he sees her coming he will keep it open for her until she passes through.

The school's desire to give back to community is what ultimately guided my decision to attend Oklahoma Christian University. I was going to search out a medical mission trip to attend between my Junior and Senior years. When I researched Oklahoma Christian's nursing program, I found that they already had a medical mission incorporated into their classes. If I did not want to leave the country, I also had the option to stay state side and serve locally. Ultimately, I was attracted to the altruistic attitudes of this school.

I went to two colleges before Oklahoma Christian. I took a year off and when I decided to go back to school I found Oklahoma Christian University almost immediately and no other school compared.

OC has great majors to choose from, and the departments are small enough for students to actually get to know their professors on a first name basis.

OC is a small university right next to Oklahoma City, which is an exciting metropolis.

The professors and the atmosphere is extremely unique at Oklahoma Christian University. The professors love what they teach and the small student to professor ratio makes classes engaging and informative. I know that all of my professors not only love what they teach, but the professors also take time out of their personal lives to sit down with students and help them out any way they can. I also mention atmosphere because most everyone at Oklahoma Christian will take time out of their busy schedules to help anyone who needs it.

It at times can be very family orienated. It is more of a community and everyone knows everyone. We have chapel everyday, where we worship and have someone speak to us.

I came from a home-school family and went to a Community College to get use to campus life. When I was looking for a univeristy I found OC and did some research on it.
