College is a rite of passage ...

... a significant season of growth as students make their way to independence. The Olivet community exists as a family — walking alongside students to attain their career dreams and academic goals.

Our campus visits are epic! Here’s what one visitor had to say:

Our tour guide did a fantastic job of plugging the campus activities, various food options (on and off campus) and perks, such as first-run movies, awesome Chapel speakers and Christian musicians. My daughter and I  fell in love with Olivet on the most dreary, wet and cold day. If she thought campus was beautiful in the dead of winter, I can't wait to see how much she will love it in the beauty of spring and fall.
