The Oiler Experience
Hear directly from students about their experience
at the University of Findlay.
“During my time at UF, I have found that everyone here is looking out for your best interest. The faculty and other students always are lending a helping hand and encouragement. Findlay has become a second home and I can’t wait for the rest of my educational experience here!”
“The staff and students at Findlay have been so encouraging and supportive especially when I found myself struggling with a particular class. My advisor was quick to help me get the assistance I need by making tutoring sessions more available for my very busy schedule! Findlay has a beautiful campus with plenty of places to settle down for a study session in groups or solo. I absolutely love how warm and inviting Findlay is!”
“One of my favorite parts of the University of Findlay is that it’s large enough to be rich with opportunities for involvement and leadership, but small enough to harbor a close-knit community and feel like home.”
