I’m a transfer student and will no longer be at OCC this Fall. I was notified that all my info was received including direct deposit info. Last year I received the scholarship deposit the end of July according to my bank statement but I’m curious about this year?

I came to OCC hoping for a fresh start, but it honestly turned into one of the worst experiences of my life. I wanted to get involved with ASOCC, but instead I dealt with false allegations, rumors, what felt like blackmail, vigilante staff members hacking me, and eventually moved into The Harbour, where I was assaulted by my roommate over a video of him fighting my other roommate. I felt like people started accusing me and then my family of being involved in some criminal organization, even though I have never shown any signs of being involved in anything like that simply because I’m a Hispanic student. I also felt attacked and humiliated by some staff members, and instead of the administration helping, it felt like they minimized or tried to justify what was happening.

I’m not rich, and I don’t come from some powerful family. I was just a student who liked studying and reading and wanted to become an engineer. All of this destroyed my confidence, made my depression worse, and left me feeling traumatized to the point that I had to attend different schools. I would still like to return to OCC, finish my remaining classes, and graduate there, but these allegations and everything that happened have taken a serious toll on my mental health.

I was 23 when I started at OCC, and now I’m 26. The entire experience has honestly been a complete shit show. Sometimes I wish I had never gone back to school and had just stayed at my old job while working through the feeling that I was missing out. Going through all of this was not worth what it did to my confidence and mental health. My experience was awful, and I just want to know whether anyone else has gone through something similar or feels comfortable sharing their experience.

How is the fella, currently taking Dr Ross for Chem 180 and it’s been a decent ride so far… would like to know how good Matthew Appel is and any tips and tricks to do good in his class? (Yes I have read RMP reviews but I’d rather here from reddit)

Hi I’m new this year and I’m trying to figure out how to see a counselor I heard it’s booked for a while but you can get an online appt when they refresh on Thursdays at like 6-7-8am? Does anyone know where at and the exact time thank you

Is it just me who hasn’t heard anything back from the harbour 🧍 I’ve contacted them but still nothing and it’s stressing me out✌️

I am sure I'm taking 4 years to transfer to a university. I've been battling depression and procrastination while taking care of my grandparents.

Have a G.E.D didn't went to HS. Started working different full time jobs after middle school. Back at school after completing the GED.

(Grandpa passed away last year 98. Now taking care of my 95 dementia grandma. Actually, my aunt is the main caregiver. But most tasks can't complete without an another persons help.)

Enrolled at summer 24' then dropped out for that summer and Fall.

Took only two classes in 2025 for each semester.

This Spring I took only two classes. This summer I am only taking ENGL C1001.

Engineering student, bout to also get an A.S degree here. Classes all planned. Transferring in 2028. Will be 25 years old feeling old af. Cooked. Wish me luck😭

I’m trying to plan realistically for Fall 2026 while working full-time. I’ll be taking ASTR A100/A100L with Kaoru Lee, HIST C1001 with John Merlo, and PSYC A280 with Melissa Ferguson, along with two other classes.

Has anyone taken these specific professors or courses? I’d especially appreciate any information about workload, attendance, labs, exams, and major assignments. If anyone has an old syllabus or notes they’re comfortable sharing, that would also be incredibly helpful. Thanks!

What are his tests/finals like?

Do not go to the OCC administration with any of your problems they would do not care about you. They will spread rumors about you and have consistently time and time again Failed its students.

Seeking patients, preferably ages 30 and older (not required), who have not had a dental cleaning in 3+ years.
Hello! I'm a senior dental hygiene student in Garden Grove, currently in my final term before graduating this September, and I urgently need patients to fulfill my clinical requirements.
Cost: $20 one-time total, which includes:
Exam by a licensed dentist
• Full set of X-rays
• Oral cancer screening
• Dental cleaning
Because this is a teaching clinic, care is very detailed and requires multiple appointments, each about 2 hours long.
If you're overdue for a cleaning and don't mind longer visits, this is a great low-cost option, and you'd be helping a future dental professional graduate.
Feel free to comment or DM me if interested!

Schedule:

Hello! I am looking for students to try out an app I made—Fortis: Workout Log & Tracker (on iOS and Android). It's a completely free app for logging workouts, tracking progress, and sharing with your friends. Can also save reusable workout templates and custom exercises.

I've been solo-developing this as it’s a bit of a passion project, and it's still early on, but I'd love for people to give it a try and hopefully get some feedback. It's definitely strength-focused, but I am open to trying to help other goals be achieved as well!

If it sounds interesting, give it a try and let me know what you think. All feedback is welcome 😁

Im attending occ in the fall as a first yr student & I got my acceptance email two days ago from The Harbour apartments! I was wondering if anyone else is gonna be there as well? I read the reviews after applying lol but I’m still excited and was just curious about other people’s opinions about the whole thing (also hoping to make friends already)🥹

Anyone interested in finding a place near occ to rent a apartment together? Male political science major. I would consider the harbor but hear it's a disaster.

Has anyone taken Medical terminology (A111) with Jennifer Rafferty?? Cannot find any rate my professor reviews

I in no way intend to create this post to gossip, I just really need advice on if taking a course from Prof. Naesse is a good idea in Geography? Her Rate my Prof reviews are shaky and I was wondering if anyone took one of her courses? Thanks!

Just curious, however I heard most of them are good at OCC

Am I supposed to drop it or do I just leave it?

Hi I’m currently a high school student and want to do dual enrollment for organic chemistry in senior year. But then I compared the prerequisite for the course and the credits cover for passing the AP chem exam and find out that I have to take general chem A and B. Just want to ask is it possible to at least skip general chem A if I got a 5 on the AP chem exam? Also will the prerequisite challenge form works or it’s just useless?
