REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingAlmost all of my teachers have been great! They were helpful when I was having trouble, and most of their teaching methods were successful.
Cynthia from Troy, MI
Oakland Community College is an excellent school. I learned quiet a bit in my first semester, with the help of my dedicated teachers.
Hannah from Lathrup Village, MI
This school is terrible when it comes to financial need. No one here knows much able ways to attend on a financial need basis. They are very slow with processing financial applications.
Brittany from Detroit, MI
Yes, a 15 week class may seem like a lot, but the faculty utilize the time given so that the students can understand the information given. As a freshmen, I took what I like to call refreshers courses and they were very helpful and now as I go on in my more advanced classes, I can go into class knowing that I have a good foundation, therefore, have an overall good feeling about the class.
Morgan from Detroit, MI
There is a large misconception among students that going to a community college looks bad to your friends and family, and you aren't as smart as others that go to major universities. Going to OCC is a great decision because of its large number of programs, courses, and courses that will transfer to other universities. Thanks to OCC I already have most of my gen. ed courses out of the way for the university I plan on attending next year.
Ian from Bloomfield Hills, MI
Oakland Community College is a great school with helpful, educated professors and overall staff. Oakland Community College is set up to help students reach the full potential and succeed in life. This college has changed me as a student; I enjoy going to class, I want to learn, and doing the homework assigned doesn't feel like a chore anymore.
Jaymie from Novi, MI
All the professors are really helpful and they are always willing to help you out
Alida from Auburn Hills, MI
I am learning alot from OCC. I chose to go here my first year of college because I could take classes for a cheap price. Also, I didnt know what univerisity I wanted to go to, so that extra year gave me time to research.
Skyla from West Bloomfield, MI
There are some great professors here who are very knowledgeable about the subjects that they teach. They make learning fun. Many of them also teach at other universities and use the same curriculum. They enjoy challenging their students.
