STUDENT LIFE
OCU Student Life:
Make Yourself At Home
Vibrant student life among new friends and family.
Campus Life
Whether you’re hanging out with friends at The Underground, playing basketball at the Tichenor Center, going to Mighty Oaks athletic events, attending huge concerts like Soul Fest, watching outdoor movies on the grassy knoll, or getting active in student government, OCU’s beautiful campus is always bustling with activity!
Success Communities
The transition from high school to college can be tough, but your Success Community will be there to help you through. You and your small group of 15-20 fellow freshmen will meet regularly with a staff mentor who will help you discover your unique gifts, connect you with fun and fulfilling service opportunities, and answer any questions you have as you make new friends.
Student Services
Disability Assistance
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act/Section 504, we make every effort to provide reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities.
Career Services
OCU’s Center for Calling and Career provides intensive Career Pathways counseling, coaching and career development opportunities to help you answer your call to service.
Counseling Services
Our trained and experienced therapists, holding Master of Social Work degrees, provide mental health counseling to help you through difficult times.
Local Recreation
When we say Oakland City University is a “home away from home,” we’re talking about a Christian environment that not only feels welcoming and safe, but also full of activity and life. With Evansville nearby, (where E is for everyone) and cities like Indianapolis, St. Louis, Nashville, Louisville and Cincinnati just a short drive away, OCU is in the middle of everywhere!
Spiritual Life
From praise and worship arts opportunities, chapel services and Bible studies on campus to local church life and our annual mission trip to Honduras, there are many ways to deepen your relationship with God and serve in ministry roles as a student at OCU.
