Orange Coast College

Depending what you want to Major in or what your course is there are some teachers that are great and some that arent as great. I suggest you use ratemyprofessor.com before actually signing up for a class. Other than that most of the teachers hear at OCC seems to be great, but you just got to land on the right teacher.

I am definately learning a lot at this school. Because of the variety of classes that are offered I have been able to explore and expand my horizons and as a result I have learned some many useful things about so many different areas. In addition, the teachers and professors are amazing. They are always willing to help you if you have questions and they are always willing to meet with you outside of class in their office hours and most of the time not during their office hours as well. I have found all of the professors very helpful and encouraging as they truly exhibit teachers that want to see their students succeed.

It really depends on the class you take and if you take it for credit or for units.

I am learning a ton! My desired career path is Accounting and this school knows how to prep. All my lower division classes will have been completed prior to transfer and I saved big! Only down side is the required classes for AA degree...a lot of could-live-without-teachers.

The most fantastic aspect of college is to feel that one is actually learning; acquiring knowledge by grasping new concepts, exploring different viewpoints, and improving at critical thinking. While high school often left me dozing through class, Orange Coast College has proved to be an engrossing experience if one actually wishes to further the bounds of their mind. Every teacher I have had uses a slightly different style to teach, but all have been wonderful in getting their subject across. Difficulty across classes has varied, but that is to be expected. Yet despite the variety in how complex the subject matter may be across disciplines, each class was still able to stimulate me intellectually. The main complaint I have is that the Orange Coast College online database does not have a significant amount of journals and articles. Several times I had to go to other universities to have access to certain journals for research assignments. However, it is a community college after all, so having a massive database when it only offers associate's degrees would be rather unexpected.

This college is GREAT! The classes and specially professors are of a high quality. Just like in any other college, some teachers are hard, others a little bit more lenient. Therefore I suggest you to visit www.ratemyprofessor.com first to see the rate of your professor in mind. Either she/he is hard or easy, you will learn a lot! It is just really up to you and what you want to get out of it.
