What an amazing experience as a parent and future student. I loved the whole experience
from the Leadership experience to chapel to next steps. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing
students stories- they were genuine, heart warming and impactful. I’m overjoyed the
Lord has led my daughter to ORU, it’s going to be a great journey!
High School Senior
...
It was AMAZING to be on campus, you could feel the presence of the Lord there!
I attend a private Christian school that acknowledges the spirit, but does not fully
walk in the gifts of the spirit and it was so good to experience a community of peers
like that. I am leader at school, but I often feel isolated and out of place there,
but I did not feel that while I was here. I know ORU will position me where I won't
have to always pour out, but constantly be poured into as well.

My mother and I were ready to give up on finding a good college and we didn’t
know much about ORU but weren’t gonna get our hopes up, but it was amazing! Everyone
was so kind and we really felt the presence of the Holy Spirit the whole time and
we felt a peace the whole time. We really feel that ORU is the place for me. I can’t
wait to start!
