I really really enjoy this establishment. It’s super clean, comfortable, staff usually friendly, and a nice variety of foods to choose from. The price for a senior to some is more than reasonable $5 and I want supposed they had to raise it a couple dollars. It’s still doable. I’d like to make a constructive criticism: Friday night some friends & I came to dinner then enjoy music & comedy over at the circleville Methodist church. The lasagna could use a little more sauce. Was a bit dry. Perhaps something happened & that had to go minimal. The pizza is usually pretty good better since I told them the crust was a bit difficult to chew. A month ago the Tex mex broccoli dish on a Friday was difficult to eat as the tortilla strips Were quite hot, spicy wise. Even the college girls we heard commenting that it was way too hot. So maybe they could choose a little more mild. I highly recommend this establishment.

Wonderful University to send your children. Our son and now daughter-in-law still reflect on how it was an amazing 4 years going to school here. Caring professors and athletic coaches. Small campus with fun activities in a safe environment.

Two of my sons graduated from Ohio Christian University and it was a wonderful experience for both of them. The knowledge they received there as graduates has resulted in both of them owning and operating very successful businesses. Most of all, they we're loved and cared about by friends and staff alike. I had reservations at first but it was the best place they could have gone and now the university has grown by leaps and bounds. They both received encouragement and support throughout their time there over all. Most of all they we're encouraged in their walk with the Lord and are young men seeking after Jesus and doing their best to live for Him and care for their families while serving others and giving back to their communities in many ways. I have a great respect for this University.

Having the opportunity to attend and complete a Master of Arts in Ministry at Ohio Christian University was totally a God thing. Even though the university is not one of the United Methodist Church's approved schools, I was permitted to participate with some of my credits going toward the UMC Course of Study. The VA has payed for my education here and I will be graduating in April. The graduate education I received here was much more rigorous than my undergraduate nursing education...and that is saying a lot. (Just ask any RN about the difficulty and time spent in preparation to become an RN.) The staff and professors have always been professional and courteous, returning calls and emails in a timely manner. This 18 month experience has also proven to be an extremely spiritually formative period. I am thankful to my cohort group who contributed to my education as well. Thank you OCU!

Heather Wards comment is actually spot on. I personally have a love/hate relationship with this college. Like Heather said the books come from Tree of Life and they’re VERY EXPENSIVE and you have absolutely no choice but to receive them from there and like Heather I also found the exact same books that they issue out brand new for 1/4th the cost. As far as the professors and financial aid they’re very helpful and professional and I’ve had no issues with receiving answers and help. Once again like Heather said the school’s degrees are useless unless you’re attending ministry. This is a Christian school which I am fully aware of but I’ve learned more about Christ than what I’m actually supposed to be learning which is Human Resources. I am currently in the process of switching schools mainly due to how overpriced OCU is and changing my major but I recently found out that all my credits are useless therefore I’m 9,500$ in debt to a college that ripped me off and like Heather I’m in dead water. The courses are extremely easy! Honestly too easy none of the courses are challenging. Like Heather said there is lots of bible study assignments and devotionals which I could get at church and not get charged for it I don’t feel as if I should be getting charged for biblical courses and biblical books when I’m supposed to be studying HR. My biggest issue with OCU though is as I’m transferring they’re holding me hostage demanding I pay 100$ to leave the school as if I signed a contact with them this is not to release my transcripts as I have already paid the 10$ to have them sent to my new school.

This is a terrible place for higher learning. All they want is your money. My daughter went there for 1 year before switching to another college. Most of her credits wouldn't transfer because they weren't even necessary for what she was studying. Their cost of books were way out of the norm and was intentionally made so that they had no value for classes coming up behind you. Therefore you couldn't even sell them to other students. The female students are treated much different than the male students. They even suggested that the females were there to meet their mates while the males were there to study. My daughter went on to get her Masters from the other college she attended. But she owes this college a third of her debt for just that one year. Let's not forget all the buildings that this place is adding while they over charge and under educate their students. In my opinion and from what I myself witnessed I'd say they should stick to just teaching kids to become pastors. They are also extremely right wing politically and discourage any sort of free thought. I myself am a moderate and a Christian and I raised my children the same way. We encourage free thought, charity and true Christianity. This place is nothing but greed. They paid Ben Carson an obscene amount of money to speak there while they took the money from their students. That money could have gone for much better use. As a fiscal conservative I find this college to be extremely liberal with the students tuition money. I'm not even going to mention the scandals in recent years, But I will say I'm not surprised by them one bit.

This is now my Alma Mater, I just completed my Master's Degree and was challenged, and motivated all at the same time, and met some incredible people in my cohort group. The instructor's were knowledgeable in their subject matter. The staff were all professional and I had an overall spectacular time at Ohio Christian University. I can't wait for graduation day May 2nd 2015 when I will consummate the entire process! I finished with a 4.0 GPA I thought this was a spectacular accomplishment OCU felt it was my reasonable service in the Master's Program. They are serious about your achievements. Still praying they set up an Honor's Program for the Master's Program level. MA's need some acknowledgements too. My purpose for choosing a Christian University was because of my thirst for more knowledge of The Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and I also desired to be around people of like precious faith! I received it all at OCU. Let me also say they have a reasonable tuition plan which was a plus also. You will be pleased if you are looking for a Christian environment.

I emailed to let the school to let them know that my father was in hospice and that I was in no shape to complete my class. The only option they gave me was to get caught up in two weeks when I asked to withdraw prior to the class starting. I was told that since I had signed into my student account that I was responsible for the full course. Additionally they gave me an F and not a withdrawal. This is supposed to be a Christian school but has no compassion. I have tried to no avail to get them to remove the F at the minimum. I told them they could keep the 1500.00. Unfortunately still nothing. Sad that they claim to be Christian but won't do the right thing.

A decent school that allowed me to take one class at a time which is hugely beneficial to me since I have to help my parents out. But at one point I started to not do so well because of the mental illness (depression) that I suffer with and other things in my life had started getting in the way of my work. I sent in an appeal and it was rejected, I was kicked out and I don't think that I was given a fair chance. Other than that it is a good school for others who can only do one class at a time.

I received my degree in leadership and ministry from OCU. Before this, I attended a couple other online institutions and OCU was, hands down, the best online school for the working adult. I plan to pursue my masters in the near future and would not even consider another institution.

Beware if you are going to school online, No one will call you back except you recruiter. I have been waiting 5 days for a call back or a email from student adviser Seth Brisker Not sure if he still works there, I'm personally thinking about going to a different school.

Well they turned my daughter in to a Greek god. She’s a lot like Alexander the Great.
