One thing that sets OBU apart is the relationship between faculty and students. I remember being a freshman and feeling so overwhelmed by all of these changes. But, my professors were great at relaxing me and the rest of my class. They did things like praying in class, attending campus events and even inviting us into their homes for dinner and a study session.

As I became more involved in school, I began to work closely with professors through work study or class projects. Professors here really trust and respect their students, which makes it so easy to respect them back. I love how my professors seek me out to say hello and that they always want to know about me.

The relationships I’ve formed with faculty have encouraged my growth intellectually and spiritually. I can’t imagine my college experience without thinking about my professors
