New Chefs have improved the food here immensely so now it is actually enjoyable to eat here. There are many opportunities for jobs and internships during and after college through the career center. Social activities are always fun to attend and they send out emails daily of things you can do on campus! Very happy with my college choice!

1st semester here and I feel quite at home, the work load is pretty heavy but im a Mother of 3 so I knew after receiving my AA that this would be even more challenging so here I am. Did I mention their cafe is all you can eat heaven. #SkinnyFatGirl lol. Advisors are the best also. Great choice Soooooo far

I LOVE Ohio Dominican University. I have been introduced to amazing people and the faculty to student ratio is phenomenal. You get that one on one time with faculty and that has been dire to my academic success. Definitely recommend for anyone, the campus is beautiful and I have learned so much at Ohio Dominican.

Even though I had to quit my field due to illness, I am glad I went to ODU. I had more field placements than most university students can dream of. The "real life" experiences learning at my field placements and the small class sizes gave me real world learning I needed. Even though ODU is a small campus, I was always meeting new people.

At Odu your treated individually. Teachers learn who you are. Your not just a number like you would be at a bigger university. Best staff all around. Amazing Christ living school!

ODU is a Catholic Liberal Arts school, so don't expect to see a huge party scene. The class sizes are small which provides you with a good relationship with the faculty. We have an amazing/ interesting history. The campus is beautiful. Its a great place with good academics. If you want to party, go to Ohio State.

Great small university located near the Columbus Metropolitan Hanger, a.k.a. Port Columbus International Airport. This is its biggest downfall Classes are interrupted every 15 minutes because of airplanes overhead. Other than that this campus is amazing, that coupled with a fantastic staff makes ODU a great university for central Ohio students.

Big mistake going here. They do not care about students and if you issue a complaint it's like falling on deaf ears. Not sure where my money was going since it was obviously not going towards technology or building improvements. Handful of good professors.

Would not go here

ODU was a good school, 20yrs ago. Now it is a degree factory. Only come here as a last resort. Don't come here unless you don't care about a quality education. It's all about taking your money in every way possible rather than teaching you what you need to survive in the real world. The classrooms & cafeterias are filthy due to service cuts.

This school is lame. Ifyouke to party forget about it. The campus is one street. The onl good part is that its a short drive from Ohio State's campus.
