No doubt in my mind I made the best decision of my life by attending ONU!

As with any university, it is what you make of the experience. It is a christian school so you do pledge to follow strict rules that are in line with the Nazarene faith. When I attended, I felt as though the majority of students had been home school. They were very out of touch with reality. Not bad people but did require patience and understanding. Loved my professors and the education I received. I was one of the many caught breaking rules and should have been expelled my senior year but the administration did their best to help me and allowed me to graduate. One of these reviews indicated that you had to be upper middle class to attend. That is not true. You simply have to take the time to apply for the many scholarships available, maintain good grades, and work.

Great school with professors that actually care about you as a person. Small class sizes means professors know who you are. Sometimes it does feel that the religious aspects are made more important than the education side. Administration seems to spend the money on "pretty" things rather than upgrading dorms/apartments and classrooms.

Olivet is a wonderful, safe environment to grow and learn as a young christian adult. If people aren't interested in adopting the rules of the University - rules that are fairly normal in most christian homes - then I'm afraid Olivet is not for you. I think we should all recognize that it's not for everyone and that's okay - it doesn't make it bad. There are a lot of happy graduates that will argue that claim.

Chapel is only two days a week, not three as one other reviewer mentioned and yes there are assigned seats because it's important that the students attend. The basis of a CHRISTIAN University is spending time in the word. I guarantee other christian universities do the same. Chapel speakers aren't boring either - I can't think off the top of my head right now but Ben Zobrist jumps out at me as one of my favorites.

As far as being racially biased, my daughter is not white yet treated as an equal by her peers and loved by her professors. She absolutely loves every minute she spends here.

There's so much that I could say but I will leave it at this is an unrealistic place, the rules/policies are extreme, (the young adults are treated like children) (see the student handbook online). Not diversified yet they are recruiting minorities for sports. Felt like I was in the movie "Get Out" when I visited and urged my child to seriously consider attending as the culture that I could see was not a good fit for his personality. Chapel is required 3 times a week with assigned seating to ensure that you attend. My son felt like he was in prison. He could also feel the racial tension that existed within the football team. He lasted a week. It was a total waste of our money and time and almost ruined my child's perception of a good college experience. If you are looking for a predominantly white, holier than God environment for your child then this is the place for you! They have a culture/perception to uphold and it shows. I was also pulled over for failure to have tail lights on (in a rental car, as I am from CA, I didn't realize they weren't on) Do you think I was allowed to go after realizing the mistake? No! My son and friends were then pulled over also days later for failure to signal. They sent out 3 cop cars for the boys. So, the community is a piece of work as well, if you are a minority you should seriously consider this place! It's not a very welcoming town!

This add was very helpful looking to move on. And tell a few friends about this add. Therefore that this add gives them a idea of what's going on.

I was former student in the ABSN nursing school in Oakbrook terrace. Something is absurdly wrong with the Professors and the school itself. They need to get rid of Tiffany Greer, the new director of Nursing, who is behind all the dirty games they play with their student body. She has turned the school into money generating machine than an University designed to generate professional nurses. #FIRETIFFANYGREER

Never went here. No affiliation or anything.
However, I do know that A bunch of students from here are often employed at nearby restaurants throughout the area.

About 3 weeks ago , me and my boyfriend had an issue with a few employees (possible college students) at a local restaurant.
I left a complaint, they took down my name + address, and told me to expect a refund in the mail. I left a review with that particular restaurant and that was that.
I assumed that everything about that was settled until today.
Out of the blue.. today; Saturday march 25, I get a knock on my door. 2 white students (1 male 1 female) claiming to be Olivet Nazarene students who said that they are handing out "free cookies" to Bradley residents.

(I've been a Bradley resident for 5 years, nothing like this ever)

The male was holding a Target store bag with what appeared to be one small item inside; the girl holding nothing.
I didn't accept the free cookies and they said "Okay" and walked away.
While they were leaving, they didn't go to any of the other houses on my street. It was a bit odd considering how small the bag was; claiming to be passing them out to Bradley resident(S) I contacted this University by phone just to confirm this and they pretty much said that they don't know anything about any students out doing that and couldn't confirm that any of their students were out & about passing out "free cookies."

Okay no problem

About 45 mins later, another knock on the door. This time the boy wasn't present just the same girl with another girl holding what looked like the same Target store bag with an item in it. This time I didn't answer because i noticed the same girl from before and I had already declined earlier. They eventually walked away and again didn't go to any other house on my street as they faded away.

.I called the university back to report this or speak to an administrator,director, or someone in charge to let them know what's going on and got no one but receptionists for taking messages.

Today is Saturday I get it but please no more "Free cookies" or whatever! It's weird..

To sum it all up I dislike how the receptionists or whatever they were, handled my calls. I also dislike how they have limited information on what students are out doing on the behalf of the University.

I attended their ABSN program at Oakbrook campus until they threw me out of the program due to discrimination. I will not apply or attend this school if you are a black student. Many Professors are very discriminatory and show racism when grading your exams. All my black classmates including some of white students will admit to the existence of racism among professors. Do anything possible to avoid this school if your black, Latino, Hispanic, or Asian. Save your money and time.

If you are not white/upper middle class DO NOT go here! They are culturally ignorant and insensitive.
Secondly: I am a Black woman. I straighten my hair with flat irons, pressing combs and sometimes it gets smoky and smells like BURNING HAIR. Someone told the school i was smoking weed because there was smoke, I was laughing, and the smell. The resident director had the police lock me out of my room and search it. After finding nothing, they forced me to drug test TWICE when I didn't pass. The police officer even told me I needed to go because they probably wouldnt stop harassing me.
Freshman year, a fellow student said he thought it would be funny to rape me. After it was reported, said student was given a week suspension and continued to carry on afterward. He never left campus and was allowed on my dorm floor.
