Know where you're transferring after. If you don't know yet, do not take specialized classes because they most likely will prove unnecessary to your future university. The good news? There's PLENTY of gen eds to choose from!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depends on the class and the instructor. If you're planning on doing the Honors Program (which I highly recommend), be prepared to challenge yourself to bypass your own expectations. In other words, you will produce phenomenal, fulfilling work.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
No dorms here... Be ready to commute! The good news? Two words: BUS. PASS.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Vending machines around every corner and in every student lounge, along with a cafeteria equipped with amazing grilled chicken sandwiches, ten different Tazo teas, microwaves and more vending machines, and fresh coffee every morning.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
GET INVOLVED! Everywhere you look, you will find notices and pamphlets for clubs and organization meetings or upcoming events. So go to one! The worst that could happen is that you'll love it and end up coming back :)
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Two grand a semester is significantly less that twenty. I'd say that's way more than just bang for your buck. If you know where you want to transfer after Oakton, even better! You'll end up only taking the exact classes your future university wants and save even MORE money for yourself.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The circular outdoor dining area off the lake. What some might consider unusual, I call GORGEOUS. And if you bring something exceptionally tasty for lunch, you might make a few chipmunks friends.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
ALL students!!! To be totally honest, I wouldn't attend just for an Associate's degree. Oakton's definitely better suited to attainment of general education classes for transfer to a university. Saves you lots money and you get to stay with mom and dad for a little bit longer! That being said, whatever type of student you are, no matter what kind of education you are looking for, you won't leave Oakton dissatisfied.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Whether you're an astronomer, dancer, hippie, future lawyer, or something entirely different, Oakton has over 50 clubs to choose from. And if for some reason none of them seem to tickle your fancy, start your own!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society summarizes Oakton's Greek life. Membership is fairly exclusive and must be earned with outstanding academic performance. That being said, once in, you're in forever, providing students with partnerships and friendships for life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
You can't turn a corner or enter a hallway without running into a Public Safety Officer. That being said, they can't catch everyone who chooses to disregard the speed limit. If you're waiting for whether I feel safe when I'm at school? YES.

AWESOME. AWESOME. And, oh yeah!, AWESOME.
