“An actual good uni- if you are willing to study”
Ariana M
United Kingdom, Undergraduate
, 2024
Overall
I think OBU has a bad reputation because the students come here mostly to party, not study. The actual academic life here is great, and I have learned a lot. The teachers are amazing and they are super helpful. The library has tons of books. The teaching, chefs kiss. Just some (aka most) students do not take advantage of this good uni.
