Review of Orange Coast College

from Huntington Beach, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The campus staff is super friendly and are always advertising their services to students. The campus map is posted on every corner and the smell of freshly cooked food plumes in the air from the culinary department. The only downside to this is the cigarette smokers...they should be gone by next year though :D

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

I am taking 19 units right now and the cost for all the classes and books put together was around 800 dollars. Talk about a steal!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be sure to take your ACT test or SOAR test prior to application. Also apply online for classes ASAP the date they provide you with is the first day you can apply and that is the day you should only apply. Classes fill fast here so you got to be on top of things.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

-Undecided Career -Still want to be home -Love the community -want something to do -prepare me for the 4 year university
