We can’t tell you all the competitions, but they will include a shooting contest on our state of the art laser rifle range! The competitions will get crazy, so get ready! The Wright-Goodwin Cup competition will be followed by the raucous all-campus party. As for accommodations, you will be staying in the dorms and eating in the campus dining hall. By the way, no food fights allowed. On Sunday morning, you will attend graduation, and be presented with your Bachelor of OA Science degree that you can show off to everyone. Does this sound like fun? You bet it does! To truly appreciate OAU, you can’t read about in a book or listen to stories from your friends. You have to experience it first-hand.
