It doesn't take a lot of research to figure out just how screwed up some of the teachers can be at this college. Go to the Ratemyprofessor website and take a look! There have been many incidents with teachers not wanting to work with students and I can attest to this through my own first hand knowledge. I have had teachers discriminate because I have children, have been pregnant while taking college classes, and have failed me in modules for giving birth via an emergency induction.
Despite all of this I remain with a very high GPA (I have been in the news/deans list/honor societies/IQ societies) and have had to fight for my rights numerous times through academic reviews and petitions to continue. I would not recommend this college to anyone, and I am graduating this semester. It has been a long drawn out battle, and I will be glad to get out of OCC. If a few of the teachers who I have had especially in the physical education, math, science, and psychology department retired then the school might be a nicer place. I will not name names, but go take a look at the ratings on these teachers and see for yourself.
My only saving grace has been having a really nice academic adviser, and finding diamond in the rough teachers who I have had an excellent time working with. Oh, and they offer full degrees online, but most community colleges do this now, anyway. Goodbye OCC, and onto a brighter 2011. read more
