Sophomore: I really appreciate the community involvement and loving atmosphere that is found throughout Oklahoma Christian. The professors might be strict but they are providing adversities that will be faced after college and I respect them more because of that. The food at OC could improve by supplying more variation and allowing the Eagle Bucks to be used at more places; such as Subway, McDonald's, Starbucks...and the list goes on. Oklahoma Christian University is a great religious and private institution with many fun on-campus extracurricular activities.... Read 653 reviews

Junior: Southern Nazarene University is a small campus that puts community, commitment, and Christ at the center of its values. No matter a student's athletic status, academic goals, or level of involvement on campus, authoritative figures intentionally pursue each one with the intent of getting them connected with other staff and peers around campus. Professors know each student by name and set aside office time to ensure they are on the track to success. Placing Christ at the center of the school's being allows students to belong to something greater than themselves. It gives students something to believe in, and creates a culture of love for all who'd like to be part of it. I love that the staff and students I have grown to know now feel like my family away from home. Living hours away from my home, my parents, and my hometown friends is nowhere near as difficult as I thought it would be because of the people at SNU.... Read 330 reviews

Freshman: Working with the University of Central Oklahoma along my journey of obtaining my bachelor's in criminal justice has taught me a lot. I have learned to advocate for myself and navigate through a complicated system. I am excited to be on my path of success. I come from a challenging background. I was raised in a situation that I was trafficked in. I had to survive my initial obstacles in order to pursue a path of success. University of Central Oklahoma has been understanding with my obstacles and background. They have a great advocacy network for students. There have been a few challenges I've faced as an adult. Which include but aren't limited to; being a single parent, having a disability and having been subjected to a hate crime involving gun violence with my kids. I am finally in a place to be able to earn my degree. UCO has helped make sure I can attain the goals I set for myself. I am excited for my future!... Read 1,842 reviews

Sophomore: Southwestern Christian University is a small university in Bethany, Oklahoma. The close-knit nature of the community has both benefits and drawbacks. In many aspects, Southwestern Christian University's size enables a highly controlled, interactive environment. While engaging in various community events, attending chapel, playing sports, or going to class, you won't run across an unfamiliar face. A supportive network is readily available in this context, which fosters a sense of accountability, acknowledgment, and safety. This sense of community and support has been wonderful, especially as an international student from South Africa. Being all alone in America was intimidating, but at Southwestern Christian, I had a strong network of friends and mentors right away. The student to professor ratio creates an environment of accountability and mutual respect. Courses and course work is easily accessible and the teachers work with you and are very flexible....
