Why did you choose to come to OBU? I chose OBU because God spoke very clearly to my heart when I first stepped on campus. After my first visit (as a junior in high school), I prayed for a year about where God desired for me to go and grow in Him, and God kept placing OBU in sight. He has provided the means for me to visit campus and connect with extraordinary people who love the Lord and are excited to see me grow academically and spiritually. The atmosphere of OBU is wonderful because of the body of believers that comprise it, and I believe God desires OBU to be my place, too.
