I have always heard really amazing things about Oakton Community College, so when I decided to go back to school I chose to apply there. I started taking classes last summer. The process to apply was easy and the staff was very helpful and welcoming!
With COVID-19, everything started shutting down right in the middle of the semester. It was crazy, overwhelming, and scary. Oakton Community College helped and made this transition/lockdown so much easier on students. They kept the lines of communication open, by letting us know what was happening and plans to deal with whatever came next. If something didn’t work, they let us know. If it did work, they continued on that path. I am so glad I chose to attend Oakton Community College. It’s been a blessing! They’ve been a blessing!

As a college student, I am glad to be going to a school that prioritizes students and staff health. Oakton quickly established policies that best protect the students and staff. The transition to online learning has been solid. With online classes already established at Oakton Community College, the transition to online learning has been very well done. I am relieved that I do not have to pay nearly as much as traditional college, but I am still getting the same quality of education. This year has been challenging in many ways, but Oakton has made it significantly easier.
The transition to online learning has been very well done. My professors are easily accessible and very helpful. The majority of our work is accessible online. The option to have asynchronous classes without live weekly meetings has also been beneficial. I work part-time, so to be able to do classes at my own pace is extremely helpful. Some classes are more challenging because they require labs, but my teachers are doing really well, adjusting to covid and helping their students learn as best they can without in-person lab sessions.
