After my first year at Otterbein, I learned so much and have met so many new people. I love how Otterbein is a smaller school, and you are able to get extra help from the professors. You can tell they really do care about you and want to see you achieve your goals, especially if you have a fairly difficult major like biochemistry. The only thing I would possibly like to see change is more cultural appreciation as in different activities or events hosted at the campus. I loved the study abroad fair because it showed exactly this! Otterbein is a great school and I am glad I chose to go there.
My favorite things about Otterbein include the diversity clubs and recreation center. In reference to diversity, Otterbein offers multicultural and diversity clubs, and Greek life so students from many backgrounds have the option and opportunity to participate in and feel included. You can get connected with people similar to you and of course others different from you. There are also many learning opportunities and events that one can attend to learn about the culture and experiences of others. Diversity Inclusion is heavily promoted by each of the clubs/student organizations and it’s easy to keep up with the events by simply following their social media pages and seeing flyers posted around campus. Otterbein also offers a very nice recreation facility for students to use with free access if they’re interested in using a gym on campus. Multiple types of equipment are available with easy access as long as you swipe in with your student card.
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!
