Student Mahi - 11/27/2024

Oakland Community College is an amazing option for students who want to save money. You can recieve your two-year degree year and then transfer to a 4-year institution. The professors are very helpful and they genuinely care about your learning. The class sizes are also small so professors can focus on each student individually.

  9. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I was fortunate enough to have an excellent group of teachers in high school that prepared me adequately for college. However, I was extremely nervous about staying home at a community college because all of my friends were going away to a big university. I wish I would have known from the beginning how great of an education I could receive from a community college, despite the stereotypical remarks from people attending big ten schools. I also wish I would have known how easily I could made a network of friends even though I would not be living on campus.

    Oakland Community College provided a unique program called Project BOLD for learning disabled and ADHD college students. As a part of this program, a learning specialist was assigned specifically to me to meet my educational needs. I met with my learning specialist twice a week and worked on math, writing and study strategies to help me succeed. Project BOLD offered the one on one support that I needed to transition from high school to college; all at no additional cost to me. This program along with the small classroom sizes made OCC unique to other schools I was considering.
