Incredibly helpful staff. They are always willing and able to help students identify problems and work with students to fix them. Offering a multitude of solutions to any situation.
Central Oregon Community College is great if you would like a similar to your high school experience. It does have some pretty cool areas of study such as fire and EMS Services.
I got my medical assistant cert here and it was a great decision. The staff and teachers were great and helpful. I was also able to get a work study program to help pay tuition. The campus itself is beautiful.
The overall experience here at Central Oregon Community College is fantastic, but it does have a few faults.
First of all, the staff at COCC are amazing with their unique personalities and the effort they put into classes. For instance, a certain mathematic teacher will make you fall in love with all things arithmetic once you get into his class (He makes the learning experience different than any other teacher I've taken).
Plus, the location at COCC, especially in the Bend area is beautiful with the mountainous terrain and various hiking, rock-climbing, and biking locations found throughout the town.
The classes at Bend are fun and exciting for the most part, but the hardest is trying to find one that isn't filled to the brim. You sometimes have to be the early bird in order to get the more in-demand classes, like Chemistry or Physics.
Housing could use work with its thin walls and limited space in the dorms, but I guess it's a pass.
A nice 8/10 for COCC.

I really enjoy the variety on classes they offer and how involved the staff are at making sure the students feel welcome.
Central Oregon community college has been one of my high lights for the year of 2020. With all of the unexpected world pandemic going on it would be really hard for me to imagine school life with out having professors who are involved in the students lives and are committed in helping them succeed. This is what life is at central Oregon community college. Every student is given and has a great value. Even though I had all of my classes online, having friends and teachers who are willing to help me through every struggle has been a blessing. I love this community college and I would definitely recommend others who want to experience what life looks like in a community college here at COCC.
It’s been really an amazing and a great learning experience for me. I have the most wonderful and helpful instructors that understood students with technology and other issues. I had no problem telling my teachers that I was having problem with the class or didn’t hesitate from asking for help. I am so happy to say that I have learned a lot even with being online. I do miss interactions with others in a face to face daily life but I have to say zoom is a great way to stay in touch after class and talk with your lovely friends or help with group projects!
I haven't really been on campus since the school year started due to COVID, but so far the professors are really nice and understand our situations!
The professors are very understanding and helpful. They understand if we can't attend class due to personal reasons, and are always willing to help out.
The professors I had did the best they could to adapt their teaching styles to the zoom scene. They included polls, breakout rooms, videos and even mini stretch breaks because anyone who has been on a zoom call for over an hour can tell you that you get tired from staring at the computer all day. Professors have been very open to having one on one zoom meetings if you are struggling in certain areas too which is really helpful. Overall I am really impressed with all my professors' ability to adapt and thrive in such a weird world.
Its been hard as teachers jump into online classes. Most teachers try really hard and end up with a strong output.
Most classes were fantastic. The math courses were making, most of the teachers were teaching at their knowledge limit.
The professor's at Central Oregon Community college are very friendly. They reply back to their emails pretty quickly, and they made me feel that I was listened to when asking questions. They also made sure that I understood what their answer was to any question I would ask. Also, the staff at Central Oregon Community College is very nice. Whenever I had to ask the office staff any questions, they were always willing to go above and beyond to get something done. I felt that my education from Central Oregon Community College is phenomenal and I would recommend coming to this community college.
The college professors are so dedicated to teaching their students (especially during the pandemic).
I wish that there was a little more communication with students and their advisors. But other than that I am really liking COCC! I would definitely recommend going here because it is relatively inexpensive compared to four year universities and you are taking the same courses you would anywhere else.

I have taken online classes while being at COCC. I wouldn't have normally taken these classes but I needed to because the campus was closed due to the pandemic.
I learn better in social environments so taking online classes has been rough, but the professors are really kind and understanding when you communicate what is going on. 8/10 times (I'm my experience) professors will 100% help you if you're falling behind because they understand how hard the past year had been for everyone.
Each class is different and being a student you need to decide if you can learn the material not being in a "classroom" setting and if you can, then there is no harm in taking a majority of your classes online because then your schedule can be extremely flexible.

It is okay for a community college. Some of the fees I think are ridiculous, like charging students a fee for taking online courses when they are mostly offering only online courses during the pandemic. The quality of the classes is pretty good, though.
Given the pandemic, I've taken the majority of my classes online. COCC uses BlackBoard. For the most part, it goes without issues. However, it can get a bit dull. Most professors will post both videos and PowerPoints. However, the videos are just of the professors reading word for word what they put in the PowerPoints. Overall, my experience with this is average.
