  nothing but extremely negative experiences time and time again with this school. Whenever I speak to someone I know who has interest in this "college" I HIGHLY ADVISE AGAINST IT. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. So difficult and stressful due to the lack of concern/effort from staff and faculty. I recall so many specific occasions where i would have a sincere concern and was boldly told by staff "its not my problem" and times when I would email faculty about a question or problem with coursework and NEVER get a response back. I eventaually realized that the lack of concern from faculty about students education there was derived from the attitude and type of students that attend that school. Id estimate 90% the students could havs cared less about education they were all attending for the free aid then drop out after several weeks -if that. They are very loud, lazy, ghetto and come from extremely low-income families. The faculty treat them like a lower class of society, making zero effort to educate which in turn effects those of us who are ACTUALLY TRYIING. There are obviously many more negative memories that I don't even want to waste another second of my life typing this but I want people to know to BEWARE OF THE DISAPPOINTMENT THEY ARE ABOUT TO FACE. Trust me, its not worth the headache. Go to a real college where ppl will actually want to help you succeed in your future

  I graduated from OCC and overall I liked it. It has it's pros and cons. The professors were very nice and engaging. A diverse student body makes for interesting classes. Like many other people, I agree that the administration is awful. It takes forever to get a response and you never get the same answer twice. They need more help or something. I ended up owing money for my final semester that I believe could of been avoided with better communication. My advice is to not be afraid to be a little aggressive with them. Keep track of your records and accounts.

  By far the worst experience in education I have ever had to deal with. There are a select few professors that are worth the tuition (and even that isn't enough). Overall waste of time and money. Financial aid tries everything they can do to make you pay out of pocket to attend their classes. Emails are left unanswered, even when I followed up several times to get an answer. I had to go up to the school and wait an hour to speak to anyone that could "help me". When you call to speak to anyone, they are either rude or unhelpful. Unorganized and unprofessional overall with any department or staff you have to deal with. Not to mention I had a teacher THREATEN me with absolutely no precautions to the professor. This school IS A JOKE.

  I don't even know where to begin with this school, doesn't even deserve a one star rating. This place is ridiculously unprofessional. Can never get through to someone on the phone when you have important questions to ask, or most of the time they will tell you "it's not my problem". They have lost MANY forms of mine or say they "never received it" when I send multiple emails over and over. They tried charging me for out of state AND in state tuition when I had already filled and turned in a certificate of residence. I had reported this "college" to the SUNY school system to hopefully resolve this problem. I do not recommend going to this school, especially if you want a bright future.

  I enjoyed my education here with excellent professors. This was in 2006.

  About to attend for fall and am so disappointed. they are so ridiculously incompetent and unorganized. You get minimal direction on all the steps really needed to complete registration. you get everything done just to find out all these other papers and steps they need you to complete once its already time for classes to start. No one reaches out to you at any point to assist you, you basically have to self-teach yourself how to registers for classes and find someone to tell you what youre missing.
  I submitted my fafsa and waited and waited to hear something and had to call 3x before someone could tell me i needed to submit my immunizations. i have my doctor fax my immunizations TWO times and called the student central office numerous times and some seriously incompetent terrible disgusting woman who acted like I was annoying her my even calling the office to check if they received it first told me :many were received" and i had to literally tell her to go check if mine was received like that wasn't common sense and then told me it wasn't i had it resent she picked up again and then forwarded me to someones voicemail i called back AGAIN and she apparently 'checked' and told me they received it. this was almost two weeks ago only for me to find out my immunizations were never processed! my only regret is i didn't get her name and file a complaint with the administration. Worst most unprofessional and unorganized school i have ever seen. DO NOT GO HERE

  Just like many others I have bill for 4600 when I never attended called and emailed to make sure I was not registered anymore and they lied... Didn't send me a bill to my mail box until January of 2017 from the fall 2016semester. I told them I was enrolled into another school had my financial aid at the other school and everything. AMD it'd funny when I asked them to consider my aid into the bill and I will pay the reminder AMD they said no... Why you ask? Because they know I WOULDNT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED AND THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING STUPID The fact I have a 18000 loan out is another reason I'm not paying for their 4600 they need to understand that people aren't just going to pay for their dirty broke school when we don't go there and attend another where we have to pay too ....

  Forced to pay for classes I didn't take. Called to make sure I could drop classes the first few weeks without grade or payment penalty and given false information. Now paying $1500.00. Robbery. Not to mention my "bill" was being sent to an email address the school had set up for me that I had absolutely no knowledge of...instead of sending it in the mail like any other normal bill. Now I'm responsible for paying 1500.00 that I was never made aware of. I was told that I should have expected a bill and should have been checking this forementioned "email" for said bill. All of this information provided courtesy of the least helpful staff I have ever encountered. In addition I was told that there was no one that could assist me further with this discrepancy and there was no one who would be able to help me set a payment plan. From there it was stated that I would be responsible to figure it out and set it up on my own otherwise they would send collections for the payment within a short matter of time. I am so thoroughly displeased with this entire process that I have discontinued my plans on returning this upcoming semester and will be sure to continue my education elsewhere for this issue alone.

  i'm am a engineering student and spend most my time in the library. The lack of quiet spaces and comfortable chairs would be my number one complaint. You can't do long hours of studying without being uncomfortable.
  Also the food options are close to none and the quality of food is terrible and they charge you up the wazoo. Hopefully someone important sees this and makes some changes.
  If you are thinking about coming here make sure you know what you're getting into. The professors on the other hand are very good for the most part. And finally if you want to take a break from studying there is a ymca that comes in the price of tuition but, if you do like weight lifting the facility is sub par and the basketball court is never open when I go.

  The school is one of the newest most nicest campus I've been on, everything is brand new and clean, but the staff is terrible, theres no freedom if you live in the dorms as if your a child, the cafe food is like prison portions the way they hound u in there, they lack campus life or anything we want to do basically. This school is great if you have a car because you don't have to live with the cafe being closed at 730,the book store also being closed as well, the condoments always running out, and just the lack of diversity with the food options and the portions we get. They need to do something the students want instead of what they want all the time, give us a recommendation box or something 😕
