It would be very difficult to fall through the cracks here. Around 3,000 students come to Otterbein every year, citing that our smaller size is important to them. As a student at Otterbein, receiving personal attention from your professors is the rule, not the exception. Otterbein has a student-to-faculty ratio of 12 to 1.

Many students say that Otterbein is the best of both worlds, since our campus is situated in a vibrant suburb, but on the outskirts of a major city.
