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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
A few tips for prospective students would be to complete the work assigned on time, plan to get on campus ten minutes early because you will be walking far, enjoy learning, make friends and create study groups because they are a huge help, and remember to be respectful to the teacher and other classmates. These tips are easy to follow and it makes class and the work that goes with it a lot much more enjoyable for everyone.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics are tough but manageable. The professors are very understanding of things that may come up and they want you to pass their class. In my classes I always have homework or something I should be working on to be prepared for the next class. I like this because it keeps me on task and I continue to learn.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are not dorms on campus. This seems like a bummer but they have multiple campuses in all different areas that this makes it convenient for everyone. They don't need to have a dorm because it will still be close to them. This will also help them save money.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is great at Oakland Community College. The students studying to be a chief will often times be working there for practice before they graduate. They are very helpful in assisting you find what interests you. I enjoy eating in the cafeteria.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
For fun I enjoy meeting up with some friends in my classes and studying for the next exam. Near the Orchard Ridge campus there is a sub shop called Jersey Mike's that most students are usually at. The school will often times have different speakers or classes going on at night for people to attend. These classes are fun to go to and learn about different topics.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The classes are actually pretty cheap per credit hour. Currently I am taking 13 credits which can add up. I like how the classes are cheaper but this doesn't mean the professors are any less qualified than those at other colleges or universities. I am currently trying to take as many credits as I can at Oakland Community College as I can before I transfer to Bowling Green State University and the tuition cost increases. Oakland Community College also offers free tutors to you advantage that are always available and online help or support if needed.
