I am research scholar. I worked in the department of Health and sport's science, Education and Sociology.
I like the student- faculty relationships. The faculty at Otterbein are amazing and always there to answer any questions or concerns.
Sitting in the classes and observing the lectures was incredible. Otterbein has small class sizes, gives enough space to the students to interact. The university offers a variety of study abroad programs.
One thing that I have observed is that the school is not diverse. I speak as an international student from Africa. I think a lot still must be done when it comes to defining the term diversity. I believe it’s important to a have a class or an institution that represents the world. As the world moves closer than ever towards globalization, it is important to have as many representatives as possible in training leaders for the next generation that we are creating.
Amazing University highly recommended!

Amazing University highly recommended!
Otterbein University is such a welcoming place! Professors and staff are amazing and so helpful. If you are looking for a smaller and close community, Otterbein is for you!
I love Otterbein. It's the perfect fit for me. I like to think of it as a campus of students who didn't fit anywhere else but it's full of great people with great potential. I've had positive interactions with all my professors and everyone in the communications department. Professors really go above and beyond to get their students ahead. And when you hear about "the small school difference" it's real. You meet people easier, can be more involved on campus, and have more freedom to explore all academic options available.
