This school is affiliated with a church (Nazarene) so it has strict policies on drugs and alcohol (not permitted) and does have a dress code. We have chapel 2x a week. Most classes are taught from a christian perspective. The school forms a tight community where it is easy to find a place in it. This school believes you belong there and they make every effort for you to feel that way. Great programs for people with various career aspirations.

Olivet is very people oriented. There is a very close knit atmosphere here. It is a small school, and nothing like a state school. If you're caught drinking, smoking, or doing drugs on campus, you're gone. So, make wise choices!
