Student services

Sometimes life can be tough; we get that. The Counseling Center has skilled professionals on campus to support our students through life’s challenges. Our counselors are experienced with issues like stress, anxiety, depression and eating disorders. And if you just want to talk, they can do that, too.

Housing services

We’re all working together to build a close-knit community of quirky, kind, and talented individuals with a million different interests. Residence life is a huge part of that experience, so all students live on campus for three years, and some choose to stay until they graduate.

All seven residence halls are designed with student comfort in mind. You can count on having a cozy place to study, socialize, and sleep. (Or do a load of laundry, for free. Or gather in the game room. Or get together with a study group. Or…)

Library services

Campus Store - You’ll find a lot more than books in our campus store! Grab a snack, school supplies, gift cards, Oglethorpe spirit wear and more!

ICT services

Every residence hall room, faculty office, and appropriate staff office has a connection to the Oglethorpe computer network and, through that intranet, to the greater world of the internet with all its resources. Access is also available to students through computers located in the Philip Weltner Library, the Turner Lynch Campus Center, and in Goslin Hall.

Medical services

Our heahcare partner is SmartCare Urgent Care, located right next to our campus on Peachtree Rd. 

Campus life

Oglethorpe’s campus is private and enclosed, with secured access for faculty, students, and staff. Residence halls require keycard access, so only approved visitors can enter.

The campus is monitored 24/7 by our campus safety officers. If you ever need help, just ask one of them. They’ll be happy to escort you across campus at night or locate a lost item.

Sports facilities

  • There's the famous Hermance Stadium, which dates back to the 1920's and whose gates were once hailed as the most beautiful stadium gates in the country.
  • Dorough Field House is home to men's and women's basketball and volleyball.
  • In 2013, Oglethorpe Track and Field added a brand new lacrosse field with synthetic turf surface. The track is also newly renovated. 
  • The Stephen Schmidt Sport and Recreation Center is home to state-of-the-art fitness and training equipment, helping all students stay in shape and stay at the top of their game.

Student clubs

Your college experience is so much more than what you learn in the classroom. Get engaged and learn to lead with Student Activities, Greek Life, Orientation, Campus Recreation and much more!

Oglethorpe University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award baccalaureate (bachelor’s) degrees.

Student Reviews

Tight Knit
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

Life at Oglethorpe is a very tight knit community. Coming from a previous private-liberal arts college in Los Angeles, it is similar. Everyone knows everyone's business on campus so be careful. However, it is close to downtown Atlanta and has a very great location, plenty of things to do in the area. Campus buildings are okay for the most part, a couple are 1800's...

Barriers to Genuine Learning
Stokely Dennis rated 2 out of 5 stars

My experience at Oglethorpe has not been especially meaningful due to the static nature of many professors in the Political Science department. They taught us their perspectives and political opinions while only mentioning other political alignments to malign and diminish them. I’ve found that in learning about Political science it is important to have a strong personal...

Money is impotence
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

Studying in the US is a lot of fun, and a great opportunity. However, everything is expensive. It is very difficult to be able to keep up with financial aid.
