“OCC has been a great experience for me – I have made so many friends here. I will be transferring to the University of Illinois-Champaign this fall. I am very happy about the transfer process – all of my classes and degree will easily transfer to the University. I would recommend [OCC] to anyone interested in pursuing their Bachelor degree.”
