The direction provided by campus staff, instructors and especially Dr. Barnes, allowed me the opportunity to excel and graduate with an Associates Degree. The Transfer Center by far the best place to help me apply and transfer to CSU. Thank you for everything OCC!

Overpopulated school. It's like a beehive in here. Some classes will take up to 70+ students!! They're obviously money driven achool only. Some professors are good and some are super bad. It has a nice buildings but that is just to track the bees into the beehive.

Campus police are mean for no reason. Geology dept. is lame. Chem. dept. treat you like a child. English and Arts dept. are good. Bursurs office is difficult to deal with. Food on campus is nasty most days with long lines.
