Oakland Community College - Southfield Campus

"Regina from financial aid is so nice and was the first person that helped me and got all my questions answered she was very helpful"

"Going to a 4-year University was the worst decision I made in my life. Switching from the four-year University to Oakland Community College was definitely the best. I tell everyone I know who is thinking about college to go to a community college first, you take the same classes as you would at a university but for a much lower cost."

"In 2009, I entered the OCC Southfield campus with some transfer credits from Baker College Ultra Sound Program. I was guided to a counselor by the name of Mr. Sloan. I asked him if there was a wait for the surgical technician program. He stated there was no wait you just have to take nine more classes. I took the nine classes and finished them by December of 2010 which would of put me in the September 2011 internship. In the spring of 2011, I was waiting for the letter in the mail. I did all the necessary steps I needed to take for the program. When I didn't receive the letter, I went to find out why. Sloan comes out of his office with some papers and takes me to the cafeteria in the lower level. He forced me to sign them and told me I wasn't in the program for the 2011 year. I was irate because I had given up my prior career as an award winning hairstylist because of lack of medical insurance as single woman.In 2013, two years later they sent me the letter after I had been hit three times from behind in my car. I read the letter knowing I would no longer be able to do this with my back injuries. I threw it in the garbage in disbelief of what had gone wrong. He was black and violated my civil rights. That deserves immediate termination of his position. He is lucky I didn't smash the papers in his nose. He would of have deserved every bit of it. Since 2011, I have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and have not worked."

"If you ever have Jeffery Eichold as a biology professor please beware. He is very racist and bias towards anyone who is not white even admitted to lying about graduating college to get the job. I was walking from the student parking lot across the street and I stopped to wait for him because I thought he was going to drive past me and he made a turn into the employee parking lot without using blinkers. This is the type of treatment you get at this campus. Other than that this is a horrible place to get an education or anything else. My purse was stolen from this campus and do you think they really tried to help me get my belongings back? Not at all."

"The lady I went to see for a transcript request was extremely rude and rolled her eyes the moment I walked up. When I asked her what was the process for the form as it was my first time doing one she looked at me like I was stupid and said just read it. Most of the staff is rude and all the chemistry teachers are horrible besides one who is a guy campus is ghetto so choose a different occ campus"
