People who are not willing to follow the rules enforced at a private Christian university should not attend this school. If you are a person who likes to party and not have a curfew then this school is not for you. This school is a little more expensive and it seems like an odd choice to pay all the extra money to come to a school like this when you are just going to complain about and break the rules.

Olivet is an extremely strict school when it comes to alcohol and drugs. If anyone, no matter who they are or what their statis is, is caught with either of these there are severe consequences. I would suggest that anyone who knows they are going to have a problem with that should probably think about going to another university. Although the university provides help for people who want to quit drinking or doing drugs there is a lot at stake. It only takes one mistake to end your education here.

I would say that anyone who has very adverse reactions to God and the Bible probably would not feel comfortable here, since it is a Christ centered campus. However, I have friends here who are atheists, so I guess it just depends on the person.
