My department is not creative or competitive. There is a built-in presence in this community, but try taking your degree to a bigger market. Without natural talent, you're going to have trouble. Ignorance and intolerance is prevalent on this campus. Campus life opportunities are few. Food plans are awful and expensive. UH & Phase 5 & 6 are the only decent housing options on campus. Dorm life is basically prison. I'm a senior and I'm so burnt out on dumb busy work it seems like it will be impossible to finish. If I could take back coming here, I would.

Very limited diversity, if you are not Church of Christ, you don't exist. You are not hired for work-study or considered valuable. Although initially impressed with the school when I came to visit, when I started school it was impossible to sort out the necessary classes for my major. I ended up being placed in a major that had just been eliminated, which caused me to have to change majors and spend an additional semester taking classes that I had missed. My advisor helped me to decide what classes I needed, but seemed to be unaware that the degree I was seeking no longer existed. I had to park myself in the registrar's office to finally figure out that I had been taking and paying for classes that were not necessary for my major. I requested a new advisor and did get one who was more helpful. But I'm now responsible for paying for the classes that I was assigned. If you decide to go to school here, be sure to double and triple check anything that you are told. The education varies depending on department, but one example that should give pause: The computer science department is teaching computer programs from 1990.........

All of these reviews, both positive and negative, are pretty much true. Oklahoma Christian is the kind of school you either love or hate. I believe the factor that most greatly influences whether or not you will be happy at OC is whether or not you are a member of the Church of Christ.

If you are considering OC, do your research and make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. Make sure you are informed about the rules before you make your final decision. Read up on the Church of Christ if you are not a member. The Wikipedia article is very accurate.

If you are not a member of the Church of Christ, you will probably feel out of place. OC is about 80% CofC, and many students come in with preformed social circles from church or camp; in this respect its a little like going to an out-of-state public school where everyone hangs out with their high school friends. Add to that the fact that non-C of C students really aren't welcome at OC; one gets the feeling that if it weren't illegal discrimination, OC would only admit students who are members of the CofC. The academics are nothing special, and not a good enough reason to come if you aren't CofC.
