Review of Onondaga Community College

from Wolcott, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

Onondaga Community College is a great school. Educationally, Socially, and in many other areas it is a superb community college, the professors are amazing. It has great transfer opportunities.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are dedicated to school and doing your work it is a great school and can offer you great opportunities.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

It really depends on what you are looking for and what you hope to get out of your college experience. If you are looking for a very rigorous education you can get it and if you are looking for a somewhat less rigorous education you can also get that too it is all up to you and up to what you choose to study, and what classes you choose to take. For me I chose a rigorous course study and got a lot out of my classes.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life was not for me, but for some students I could see it being fun and a great experience.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food options at OCC are actually really good its not the average college dining experience you have a lot of choices and are not forced into a meal plan.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

OCC has really started having some very interesting activities for students like a activities and things to go to and see for example there was recently a roller durby held at OCC, there are also comedians that come along with different bands. There is also a lot of club options for students.

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

For me OCC was an amazing opportunity, the classes and professors i've had have taught me a lot, I was able to get an amazing first two years of school for a good price, and it also helped me a lot in my transfer options.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The campus is beautiful and there are many locations for studying or spending off time. There is a brand new big work out studio, and arena.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

I would say OCC is great for all types of students including traditional and nontraditional.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is probably a club for just about any subject for any student and if there isn't a specific club your interested in you can start up your own.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Campus Safety is very, very serious, there is a large campus security building, there are strict rules to follow to keep students safe and I belive OCC is one of the safest college campuses out there.
