OCC is one of the biggest and, arguably, one of the best community colleges in the nation. They boast a large variety of majors and programs for students to explore. My experience with the counselors have been amazing, as they helped me complete the credits I needed for transfer and discover the right major for me. As a two-year college, the classes offered are mostly lower division general education classes. OCC offers an associates degree or certification for almost every major available. The facilities on campus are well maintained with brand new buildings across campus, including the college center, student union, literature & language building, and (my favorite) the planetarium. You’ll be able to meet and learn along side a diverse population of students coming to study from across the country and the world. With a beautiful campus, a large variety of majors, and amazing staff, I couldn’t recommend OCC more!

Orange coast colleges campus is very nice, modern and updated. It is very open and I like the milkweed planted around campus, so there’s lots to butterflies fluttering around all day. The classrooms are very nice and spacious. There is lots of fun elective options for all majors. The professors are pretty chill, depending on who’s class you sign up for. The athletics side of campus is massive with a separate track and separate massive stadium. Also a separate pool, gym, baseball field, soccer field and a dance studio I’m pretty sure. Considering the location, there is a pretty Good mix of people from different places and backgrounds making occ pretty diverse. Everyone is very to themselves so it’s great if you’re more introverted. There’s a lot of good food around the area and things to do, especially if you’re looking for a job. There’s south coast plaza and on campus jobs as well that have their perks. Campus food has been good so far, I mean I’ve only gotten stuff from machines.
