It seemed like the lame college high school drop outs went to, and not for me - a 3.2 GPA and 28 ACT. With that said, I have loved it at OCC... You are getting fantastic education in small class sizes at a price less than a fraction of what your high school classmates are paying for university classes that are valued the same, and yet they are learning less at some points! It is true that the downsides of this are in the lack of campus "atmosphere" and clubs and extracurriculars. And while they do exist, for me at least, I am content with joining them upon transfer for my bachelors.

Administration as a whole at this college are very disorganized, and seemingly uneducated on their own processes.

I am there for chemistry tutoring, not to be HARASSED about my ethnicity.
The counselors at Orchard Ridge know what they're doing, however avoid the counseling dept. at Highland Lakes, they couldn't tell you how to do something if fhere were step-by-step instructions in front of them.
There are no extracurriculars, and it is nearly impossible to find out where campus sporting events are.
The good thing is that there are not any fraternities or serorities, and no hung-over party kids slumming into classes as a distraction.

Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:04:28 GMT StudentsReview 2457-92398 2457-92398 2457 16 Electrical Engineering Female Undergraduate Class 2017 1st Year Negative If you are African American stay far away from this campus. The faculty, students that attend and the staff are racist. They have perfected the art of covert prejudice. They assume that everyone of color lives in the City of Detroit. The teachers imply that you somehow cannot do they work and they do not expect much out of you because you are black. While I am not one to scream prejudice they make it obvious that you are not wanted at the campus. Campus security if there is a dispute between an African American student and a Caucasian student they automatically assume that the Caucasian student is the injured party. I have even had to walk through the gym to get to my class and encountered an Auburn Hills Police officer in there and he looked at me as if I was something stuck to the bottom of his shoe. While the campus is very beautiful sadly the Jim Crow attitudes of much of the faculty and student body makes the campus appear cold and ugly. While I have encountered some really great instructors they are however few and far in between. I should not have to prove my worth. I should be allowed the same freedom as every other student to come to school for instruction without feeling like the campus will be sterilized when I leave. I will not attend this campus again. I will not attend any Oakland Community College Campus. Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:04:28 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/MI/OCC_comments.html
