Professors take a personal interest in their students and are always available for help. The Engineering and Physics courses were pretty challenging, the General Education courses were fairly easy. I came here after attending a college weekend because the people are very friendly. Of course, there are the self-righteous and snooty rich kids, but they can be avoided. I attended a secular high school where my beliefs were constantly under attack, so ORU was a breath of fresh air. I took every opportunity that I could with Summer Missions changing my life and my world-view forever. ORU had won the ASEE State Senior design championship for several years in a row including my year. I had no problem finding a job at a large fortune 500 company after graduation, and was told later that a strong character and honest interview made up for my lack of experience. In addition I met my wife at ORU and we are happily married and plan to encourage our children to attend. Hopefully the academics will stay up to par.

The spiritual atmosphere is perfect. The students and faculty are more open, honest, and fun. Having attended a large public university, I can say that ORU offers equivalent preparation and allows for closer interaction with the faculty. At a large university, an undergrad is just a number. While at ORU, all of the faculty knows your name and cares about you. Starting Job: Applications Engineer, Preparedness: B, Reputation: B+ Have a Question?

If a student does not like their institution it is typically because they could not, or would not meet the standards set by that institution. While at ORU I gained knowledge, friendship, and the ability to grow personally. All of these elements are needed for success once a student graduates. I wish I had spent more time invested in the internship opportunities that were offered by my major. I believe that real world work experience would have helped me gain confidence prior to graduating. The social atmosphere was perfect. There was plenty to do and I rarely felt alone. One element that ORU offers that many other schools do not is the spiritual environment. I appreciated the different perspectives of students with religious experiences that differed from my own. Overall, I felt that I was on the same page with the majority of students at ORU. I would recommend ORU to students who desire the spiritual element, for it is the most distinctive element of attending the school. In fact, students without a desire to attend a Christian university might want to visit the campus before making a decision to attend.

It is important to know what is expected of you when you choose to go to ORU. Don't come to ORU and then leave and complain on websites about rules that you did not like when they are clearly stated in the student handbook you can get before you attend ORU. If you challenge yourself and have a positive attitude you will do well and have fun! Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Surrounding City: C Have a Question?
