    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the campus - the school's website does not do justice for the campus
    Great for these types of students

    Students who have never lived away from their parents - a good transition school. Also great for christian minded students

    It is a great school to attend for academics, several teachers are nationally ranked. The athletic programs are amazing. This school also provides a way to stay or grow closer to God.
    Academic Rigor

    Academics are excellent. They have specific plans for each degree.
    Dorm Life

    It all depends on which dorms you live in. For the most part they are okay. Not very new or as sanitary as i would like.
    Food and Dining

    To be honest the food starts of Great at the beginning of the year. But as the year goes by the food starts to be unbearable to eat. Its not what i expected especially for what i have to pay.
    What to do for fun

    Go to Tulsa for Big entertainment. Bowling and fishing are available locally. Attending sports events.
    Clubs and Activities

    I don't believe there are any clubs available. There are sports activities and school functions.
    Campus Safety

    Campus safety is a little extreme for me. We are under a strictly enforced curfew. They lock the dorms so we cant get in past curfew. Other than that not to safe since it is an open campus.

    OKWU's biggest focus is the Christian spirituality: it is a Christ-centered university that puts an emphasis on being educated well in a Christian environment. The professors are wonderful, putting in extra time to actually get to know their students; you can tell that they care about you. The people here are very friendly and if you are willing to put forth the effort it is easy to make friends.
    Tips for prospective students

    Paperwork is probably the biggest struggle you will have to deal with here. Take initiative in finding answers to questions you have and in being sure to get all of the right paperwork filled out. I would also recommend keeping copies of any important documents that you submit for your record in case there are any questions later.
    Academic Rigor

    So far I have mostly just taken general education classes, but even those have been challenging. I have learned a lot from the professors here. The biggest classes at OKWU (generally freshman classes) have about 50 people-tiny compared to public schools. Normal class sizes generally run around 20-25 people or less. It is nice because many of the professors actually take the time to get to know you and they care about your personal well-being both in and outside of their class.
    Dorm Life

    Some of the buildings (especially for freshman girls) are old and the rooms are smaller than a lot of campuses, but the atmosphere in the dorms is fun and conducive to building friendships. I have enjoyed living in the dorms even though they make for a tight fit! OKWU also has campus houses that are right across the street from the actual campus that students can live in after their freshman year.
    Food and Dining

    If you like cereal, salads, and sandwiches you will love our cafeteria! Outside of that the meals are hit and miss. They have gotten better over the last year but there is always room for improvement. On special occasions or student appreciation nights the food is really good but on a day to day basis you can tell it is definitely a cafeteria. The food is probably the biggest downfall of the school.
    What to do for fun

    Bartlesville doesn't have a lot to offer for fun activities, but we are only about 45 minutes away from Tulsa which offers endless activities. On a majority of weekends the school will plan fun events for students to do. People play a lot of games and watch movies on the weekends. There is always somebody doing something, you just have to be willing to be creative and get involved. Some people get bored, but it really depends on what you put into it and if you are willing to leave your room and hang out with people and make friends or not.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is definitely expensive but it is worth it. Knowing that people actually care about you makes a world of difference. Ultimately though, the experience that you have at this school all depends on what you put into it. Some people have a terrible time (and they would at any school), because they just sit in their room and don't make an effort to get to know people or make friends, but there are also so many people that are successful here.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    OKWU has a closed dorm policy. Guys and girls are not allowed into the opposite genders dorms except on Sunday and Thursday afternoon/evenings.
    Great for these types of students

    People that like small schools/cities. If you get involved you will know (or at least recognize) everyone on campus and have many opportunities to make friends.
    Clubs and Activities

    Sports are a big deal at OKWU and it is fun to go and support the different teams. We also have intramural sports, a drama program, social life committee and many opportunities for student leadership.
    Greek Life

    OKWU does not have any sororities or fraternities on campus.
    Campus Safety

    OKWU has a nightly curfew with security guards that lock the buildings at curfew. They continue to make rounds throughout the night.

    A great school where Jesus is Lord. We are loving, caring people who want to come together as a community and as family. We care!
    Tips for prospective students

    Every campus has their flaws but you dont get the genuine people and relationships here on this smaller campus like other campuses. I know everyone and they are all so caring!
    What to do for fun

    Intermurals, bible studies, all types of campus wide activties put on for the students, one on one time with professors, raquetball, etc.
    Bang for the buck

    Its a little pricey but I wouldnt want to go anywhere after being here.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is curfew one weekdays its 12:30 and weekends its 2:00 a.m. but with curfew you find you get so much more done and actually get good sleep. Makes it harder to miss class and to fail! It keeps you disciplined and its very beneficial. I was upset at first but Its such a blessing now. If I was at a regular campus I would probably be failing by now.
    Clubs and Activities

    So much to do but no football :(
    Campus Safety

    Really safe, there has never been any incidents plus its a open campus and the cops sometimes paroose through and check things out. They are friendly.

    oklahoma wesleyan university is the perfect school for somebody who is looking to make close friends for life. the teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced, as well as qualified (voted the best in the country by cbs money watch). the education programs offered are plentiful and the strong christian environment is a plus, even to those who may not be.
    Tips for prospective students

    if you are looking to attend okwu, make sure you are ready for a small-school environment. it can be tough for those who are used to a larger area, but with time and effort it can be a plus.
    Academic Rigor

    okwu has great academic programs stretching from the school of nursing for prospective nurses and pre-medical majors to pastoral ministries and even sports science majors such as the exercise science program. the professors at okwu are top notch, being voted the best in the country by cbs money watch.
    Dorm Life

    the living arrangements at okwu are good. the quality of the rooms is a little behind, however the experience is a good one if you can embrace your hall and stay involved. i've gained many memories from my first few semesters on campus.
    Food and Dining

    the cafeteria at oklahoma wesleyan is better than high school cafeterias for sure, but it is a bit less than average compared to many universities in the area. however, it is getting better and the staff on hand are always taking reviews and recommendations to make the experience a better one.
    What to do for fun

    at okwu there are many collegiate sports to take part in such as soccer, golf, basketball, track and field, cross country, baseball, softball, and tennis. but if you are not interested in playing intercollegiate sports, then intramural sports are also offered. there are also many activities going on for students to take part in such as school plays, student governments, school clubs, etc. with that said, the best way to have fun is to make friends and go out.

    I have enjoyed Oklahoma Wesleyan a great deal since being here. The professors are great along with the atmosphere. I can't imagine anywhere else being a better fit for me
    Tips for prospective students

    Be willing to make friends and get out of your comfort zone.
    Academic Rigor

    Teachers are not ridiculous with the amount of work, but they do expect you to do work.
    Dorm Life

    Fun but there also places you can get away for studies.
    Food and Dining

    Could definitely be better, but pretty standard for cafeteria food.
    What to do for fun

    Hang out, go to sporting events, or play sports for fun

    At first glance, Oklahoma Wesleyan seems like any other typical small college. However, Oklahoma Wesleyan has a wonderful nursing staff that intentionally dedicates their time toward students. Not only do the teachers invest time in my education, but they also take time to become familiar with me as an individual.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would recommend that you schedule a visit of our campus so you can get a feel of the atmosphere for yourself. If you know what you want to major in, set up an appointment with a staff member that works in that specific program.
    Academic Rigor

    Nursing is arguably the most rigorous course on Oklahoma Wesleyan's campus. The work you put in over the 4 years will prepare you for a career anywhere in the nursing field. The hard work is definitely worth it.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is what you make it. If you want a small, quiet life, then you can always get away by going into your room. However, most of the housing is apartment/dorm style so you have the opportunity to connect with plenty of people and make life-long relationships.
    Food and Dining

    On campus, the school offers a cafeteria with various meal plans. Each meal plan is created to suite any student, depending on how many meals they plan to eat during the week.
    What to do for fun

    Bartlesville is a small town but it has everything any other city has: movie theater, mall, stores, parks, plenty of churches, community groups, downtown recreation center, public library etc. Tulsa is only forty minutes away, and groups of students usually have a night out in the city for fun.
    Bang for the buck

    Oklahoma Wesleyan introduces you to what you will experience in the real world as a Christian. Each program implements biblical truths into what you will encounter in the work force, no matter what your major is. Once you identify these certain truths, you will know how to respond in a Christ-like manner while doing your job effectively.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    On campus we have a fun game called slap-stick. The more people you tag during the week, the closer you get to winning $50 (for free).
    Clubs and Activities

    The school offers every sport imaginable plus many church-affiliated groups. It is a great opportunity to get involved. Intramurals are also very competitive and fun for everyone.
    Greek Life

    The school doesn't offer any sororities or fraternities that I know about.
    Campus Safety

    The campus locks down every night at 2am. Around the clock monitoring is enforced for our safety, as well as a curfew.
