My view of the college Oklahoma Wesleyan university has a great review and perspective from me, because the great hospilatlity that was shown from the coaching staff of athletics to the education and administration staff. I loved and enjoyed how heart warming and welcoming everyone was when I arrived on campus, I also love OKWU because of its great surrounding nearby areas and choices of entertainment and food but mostly food choices such as there are more and a variety of fast food and restaurants to pick and choose from.

Corby - 11/13/2023

In my experience with OKWU, I have been consistently impressed with their exceptional performance in all areas, particularly in terms of communication between students, staff, and professors. What has truly stood out to me is the unparalleled dedication of the professors to engage with online students, even at late hours. There have been instances where professors have responded to queries, discussions, or concerns close to midnight, showcasing their commitment to supporting students regardless of the time. Furthermore, their availability to communicate through various platforms, including phone accessibility, further enhances the overall communication experience. This level of commitment and responsiveness fosters a positive and supportive learning environment, contributing significantly to the success of online students at OKWU.

Melinda - 08/04/2020

Very clean and straight forward campus. Everyone smiles and says hello. The professors seem to be open and very courteous and the campus set up is very open yet safe. The program appears to be very friendly in general. We attended a chapel service unbeknownst to us on our recruiting visit and was truly amazed at the atmosphere of the forth coming students and teachers.

Also, make friends with as many classmates as possible so you can form study groups when needed.
