It is a great college from professors to students. They have their own ways of dealing with issues. Ultimately it all comes together and you will have wonderful experience :)

Best community college ever. I loved my time on campus! Made plenty of friends, had some of the greatest professors, and really gave me a good idea of the direction I want to go with my education. I'm in a 3+1 program which isn't offered many places besides COD. Online classes are great here too. If ur choosing between this and another CC pick COD!

This is a school you should do all of your gen eds online with. Don’t waste time, managing your classes is easy. Be proactive too. This campus is full of jehova’s witnesses too who shame people in the hallways. Don’t waste time doing your major here, try and spend at least a year. Degree isn’t worth it. Lacking social opportunities…

Counselors are no help. Counselors and the graduation department should be in contact to further help students. Every time I went to get guidance from a counselor I was misled and took classes I did not need to take for my degree. There is no communication between departments. Which makes it not so easy for students trying to navigate.

Full of teachers (not calling them professors) who would not be hired by Chicago City Colleges. All COD professors have a poor opinion of students, indeed humanity. Constant warnings from them about cheating as if they expect it. Lazy teachers, stick to a book and offer no creative teaching plans. Not reviewed by administration so most are lazy
