Ouachita Baptist University gave me an incredible education and wonderful social network in which to grow. Intellectually and academically, I was challenged to consider other view points even though my professors themselves were Christian. The university understood that being Christian in orientation does not mean that the university should shelter students from other religions, philosophies, or so called \secular\ methods. Instead, I was encouraged to explore, think, and question everything. It was a very positive and intellectually stimulating environment. By contrast, when I studied at a top 100 university for my master's degree, many of my classmates there (who had attended famous schools like Oxford, Yale, University of Paris, etc.) simply did not have basic knowledge of history or philosophy which at Ouachita was a part of the core curriculum. I was astounded at how better prepared I was for graduate school than my classmates who had gone to famous name brand schools. Class sizes are small. Teachers will engage you for hours in the hallways debating and discussing any subject. Many teachers live nearby which facilitates even more educational opportunities for the ambitious student who seeks them. I strongly recommend an education at Ouachita Baptist University. If you are a Christian, your faith will be challenged and deepened. If you are not a Christian, then your worldviews will also be pushed and prodded. Hopefully, I will continue to always strive towards knowledge and truth like Ouachita taught me to do.

I’m a 1987 graduate of OBU. I got a fine Education there but I was very disappointed last year when OBU allowed a professor to publish an Op-Ed, using OBU in his byline, supporting an accused child molester for U.S. Senate. In the Op-Ed, the professor said “even if true” the candidate molested children, he should be in the U.S. Senate. OBU “disavowed” the Op-Ed, but the Professor suffered no consequences and continues teaching there.

I loved the people I met while attending OBU. It's a good school filled with good -if sheltered- people.
