onondaga community college is definitely the cream of the crop when it comes to junior colleges. it gives every applicant a fair chance by never denying an application and it provides a quality education for those who maybe cannot afford a four-year institution. i highly recommend occ!
Casey from East Syracuse, NY
The teachers here are more concerned about your learning than many other places. All professors are also guidance counselors, so they can help a lot. Many professors are very flexible, as long as you try too.
Daniel from Marcellus, NY
A small community with diversity. Everyone appears to be very friendly with one another. The small classroom setting allows for you to build a solid relationship with your professors, and that is a plus.
