Review of Ohlone College

from Oakland, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The professors are very knowledgeable of the subjects they teach. One professor I must explicitly note is Dr. Paul Belasky, who taught GEOG-104. Just in that one semester, I learned so much about what was going on outside of my country, and now I have a better understanding of different cultures. I have learned to be very accepting of our differences.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

What I love about Ohlone is that everything is just accessible. From the Student Health Center to the cafeteria to the counseling center, everyone is very friendly, and I always feel welcome.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Because Ohlone is a community college, it is more affordable for everyone to take classes here to further their education. Currently it is $26 per unit, plus $27 per semester for the miscellaneous fees.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Beware: the Fremont Campus has a lot of stairs because its on a hill, so make sure you give yourself enough time before class. Running up those stairs can be dangerous and tiring.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you are interested in learning American Sign Language, this is the place for you. There are a fair amount of deaf students at Ohlone, and they are always open to signing to one another. You will pick up ASL pretty fast.
