Two grand a semester is significantly less that twenty. I'd say that's way more than just bang for your buck. If you know where you want to transfer after Oakton, even better! You'll end up only taking the exact classes your future university wants and save even MORE money for yourself.

OCC is excellent if you want to save money. Many students come to Oakton from other 4 year colleges and universities to save on tuition. Note: Credit hours are less expensive if you live in-district.
