The R.O. campus is small and great. The layout, design, and architecture still looks fresh, forward-thinking, and it's easy to find your way to classes. The full-time faculty are experienced and very helpful; there are stand-out professors in every department--friendly faces abound. Library is a gem--great place to study--Art facilities are tops.

I took the last class of the day and was usually one of, if not the last person in the parking structure. As a girl, needless to say, I was a little nervous! However, I felt pretty safe; they always had a cop in there when it was dark outside. The facilities are really nice and always clean. It's also really easy to find your way around!

Very poor service, the people that work in finaicial Aid is very lazy, rude and no help. this my first time attending this campus and i can say it will be my last ever. this school is not trying to help student get an education at all.
Overall 1.7
The level of education that I have noticed among my peers is substandard to say the least. While there have been some classes that I feel have been beneficial to my education, most of the course material that I was taught, I felt was too easy for an institution of higher learning. If I was paying for my education I would feel cheated.

I thought Ross Medical was a complete joke but coming here blows them out of the water. Don't waste your money at this school. Use your student loans for some place more productive. Thank you OCC for taking my money and I am left nothing to show it.
