OWU is a very small, connected liberal arts school. If you're looking for small class sizes, professor involvement, and travel opportunities--this school is great! The housing options are not ideal, but there are options to live in communities that are not dormitories.
Course are hard and push you. It is important to talk to the professor with questions or if you aren't doing as well as you life and they will help you with study suggestion, what to work on, etc. I do wish there was more class options, but there is also an independent study option I haven't taken advantage of. Scheduling can be stressful but the school and teachers work with you to figure stuff out.
Class sizes are personal and great! It is so much easier to learn with smaller class sizes! Most of mine are like, 10-25, but it varies depending on class level and subject.
There are many different class styles; the OWU Connection, travel abroad, Honors, labs, independent study classes, travel-learning courses (which are sweet!), and more!
Professors are great and really know their stuff! They want you to do well. You have to go to them for help, but then they definitely work with you!

The dorms at OWU are a pretty good size. Larger than many other schools I have seen. There are two dorms with community bath, mainly freshman live there. Other dorms are more of a quad style. So you and a roommate, and then two suite-mates. Welch and Hayes are my favorite dorms but they all have perks, it depends on personal preference! For suite style with bathroom included, they clean the bathroom for you once a month. Smith and Stuy have air-conditioning, all dorms have heat. The RAs are cool and chill! Welch is the typically honors dorm and it has more quiet hours which is peaceful for studying.
