Oklahoma Christian University Top Questions

My college experience has been the best experience of my life. I've met a multitude of amazing people, become part of a new family, learned more than I thought possible, and had a life packed with laughter, smiles, and a complete enjoyment of the little things. I've learned to take care of myself, to live on my own, and to deal with my own problems, no parents necessary (even though they certainly are appreciated). I've been able to mature, grow, and change into more of the woman that I want to be, while still holding on to some of the better parts of childhood (like coloring books and Disney movies). I learned that you're never too old to watch Beauty and the Beast, but I also learned that Isaac Asimov, the famous author and biochemist, has an amazing ability to prove that right and wrong are relative. So far, my college career has been enlightening, it has been a blessing, and it has put a dent in my finances. Nevertheless, I would not have acquired such a stellar education or social experience anywhere else, and I can honestly say that I've found my second home.

I have learned alot about myself and who I want to be. Coming from a upper middle class suberban town my world view was very limited. I realize that going to a small christian school my view still is not the best but i have learned so much about the people around me and how that has changed who I am and what I want to do with my life. Growing up I was very idealistic about wanting to change the world, and not that those ideas are not around any more but they are all just put into perspective and now more than ever I know that I want to make a lasting effect on the people around me. Going to school here has enabled me to be able to reach those goals that I had for myself growing up and also make some new ones.

I never thought I would change as much as I have these past few years I have been in college. I know it sounds cliche, but I have certainly become more independent and have learned very much about myself. From freshmen year until now my study time has probably increased by more than fifteen hours a week! I now understand the idea of "time management". You really have to sacrifice social life and learn to set time aside for your studies. I think education is something that you cannot put a price on, however at Oklahoma Christian University I have been blessed by a faculty that is geared towards the success of the students, especially in the area of biology. I know I can take the techniques and theory aspect of my studies to a higher degree of education and even use them in my future career. I am also thankful for all of the wonderful aqcuaintances and lifetime friends I have made here. Therefore, even though Okahoma Christian has a high tag price, I feel that it is well-worth it. I hope that anyone that has the amazing opportunity to attend college will not think twice!

Coming to college is scarey, but one of the things I have learned from my experience is to not be afraid to try new things. Almost all the freshmen coming on campus are just as nervous as you are. I had to really branch out and meet new people and try new things. If you go out and do new things you will most likely meet new people. It has really made my college experience enjoyable. OC does a wonderful job trying to get the freshmen involved and aquainted with each other. At the beginning of school they do their best to make sure we know a certain group of people well and from there you meet others through the smaller group of people. Everyone here is nice: the professors, other staff, and students are all friendly and helpful.

Before coming to Oklahoma Christian University, i was very wary on how the school would compare to past schools. I must say, this college has lived up to my expectations and has exceeded its reputation as a Christian school. There are two things that i have learned from my college since i have been here. The first thing i noticed upon arrival in Oklahoma was the immense kindness the staff here has for the students. I had a councellor personally pick me up at the airport, take me on a tour of the city, and show me around the school so i could get started. Every staff member after that answered every question and helped as best they could, all with smiles on their faces. I also have learned a lot about God as i continue to learn about my major, mathematics. Two things i have recieved from my college experience is knowledge on what kindness truly is and an appreciation for everything God has done in my life. Learning these valuable lessons will stick with me for my entire life and i can be kind and thank the Lord no matter what situation I am in.

I have recieved a prestine education so far and have gotten a full college experience with the twist that i am not surrounded by the temptation to try harmful substances. I have gained a new family that is in full support of whatever i set my mind to do and will help me in attaining my goals. Oklahoma Christian has become a home away from home.

So far in my first semester of college, I have had many great experience that make going to school a very valuable thing. First and foremost is the quality of education that I have recieved. The professors at my school are compassionate, and truely care about passing on all of there knowledge to you. They are available anytime for help, support, and further explanation. The second thing that has made college so valuable is all of the new friends that I have made. It is the people you meet and the relationships you make that make life worth while. At OC, I have already made great friends that will always be there for me and also will help me grow closer to God. The final experience that has made college so valuable is the opportunity that arises to help others. OC is always promoting different service projects and mission trip to do good things for other people. Attending school makes it so much easier to get involved and help people. The great commission of my faith is to go out and make disciples of Christ in all nations. OC makes this possible, and that is priceless.

Over the past few months, college has been an amazing experience. Within these first few months of college I have made many life long friends and professors. Even though somedays the cafeteria food is questionable college is one of the best descisions that I have made in my life. College is a requirement in order to succeed in life. To get a good job and maintain a family, college becomes one of the basic ingredients that are needed to bake a succesful future. College is a must for social and educational development.

My college experience has been a blast so far. Recently i have cut back on my hours at work so that i could take more classes in my field. I love biology and everything that rotates around the subject. My college experience in general has been very valuable to my increase in knowledge and understanding about the world. When i was a freshman in college i was so worried about my future, due to the fact that nothing interested me. After a long chat with my counselor i found out that i had an undying passion for biology. Through thick or thin i will pursue my degree in biology thanks to ivy tech community college. Before finding biology I was on the path to destruction and i just thank god and mr.blackson for giving me hope and a bright future through college.

My college experience wasn't anything I planned for, nor anything I expected. Everyday wasn't easy; Everyday wasn't hard. Sometimes I even thought I wasn't going to make it. The crazy thing is I can't imagine my life, and where it would be without college. Never in my life have I been more challenged then I have been at college. This "experience" challenged me to become a better, smarter, and ultimately stronger person. What I have gotten out of college could never be taken away from me. College also has a value. A great teacher once said, " I wan't you to have a valuable experienced education, not a valuable piece of paper. " The value to attend college is priceless, even with the price of tuition. It hasn't been picture perfect, but it has been exactly what I needed.
