What makes OP special?
What makes OP special?
Oratory is different from most schools because of its incredible culture. As a student, it is refreshing to be at an institution where there is a true emphasis on support, whether it is academically, socially, athletically, or artistically. Oratory also prides itself on being open to everyone. Although we are a small school, the school's population makes time here worth it.

What advice do you have for incoming students?
For any student attending next year, the best piece of advice I can give is to get involved in either a sport or club as early as possible. One of the most satisfying feelings is when you meet friends, connect with staff, and find purpose through an activity.
