    I rate OCT a number two of many schools that I have researched and are interested in becoming a student there. OCT has a great environment. one thing that I like most is not having to be on a long waiting list to enroll in the nursing program.

    Food and Dining

    Academic Rigor

    academic rigor is something that most teacher stress. they want their student to go beyond just memorization of material. the teachers want you to really know the material.

    They have different sororities and clubs here you can join to occupy yourself and have fun doing.

    Food and Dining

    They also have great food here, you have different choice and varieties.

    Dorm Life

    The only thing that's not so good about tech is they don't have dorms you can stay in. But besides that, this is a great school.

    Tips for prospective students

    This is a great college to attend before attending a four year college! They have great counselors and they are some nice, respectful, and mature people here at tech.

    In three sentences

    Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College is a great hands on college. The teachers here are great they help you with any problem, or situation. I love Tech because the teachers here they always say no question is dumb, you can ask any question and they will be gladly to answer it with no attitude or animosity towards you.

    Campus Safety

    Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College is an extremely safe campus. Campus police are always on patrol. They're the first and last people on campus as well. There are also emergency telephone booths place around the campus for quick access. You forget that you are even at school most of the time. Campus Safety is a 10 out of 10,

    Greek Life

    There are not any Greek Organization at Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College.

    Clubs and Activities

    Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College offers basketball, golf, cheer-leading, and baseball.

    Great for these types of students

    Orangeburg Technical College is perfect for the hardworking student who learn better in a smaller classroom and need that one-on-one time with the instructor.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There are not any unusual traditions or locations on campus.

    Bang for the buck

    Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College is not a fun College to attend, due to the fact that there is not much to do. It is for those who are serious about making good grades and graduating with a specialized degree with decent pay. 50% of the students here attend to get more credit hours and then transfer to a University or larger College. I highly recommend doing the same. You save thousands of dollars attending a technical college first and then transferring to a University after. You acquire a quality education just as you would at a University as well. Financially you cannot beat it. The only downturn is that socially there is not much to do here. If you're serious about attending Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College ponder and evaluate yourself on whether these missing social aspects are important to your success as a college student or not.

    What to do for fun

    There honestly isn't much to do for fun at Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College. The students only come to school to complete their work and leave when classes are over.

    Food and Dining

    Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College has a cafeteria. Most of the students do not eat in the cafeteria. I suggest you bring your own food from home.

    Dorm Life

    Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College does not have any dorms or living quarters, unfortunately.

    Academic Rigor

    The coursework/academic rigor is not too challenging. I will give it a 5 out of a 10 point scale. The work here is basically broken down by a beginning lecture and followed by a list of assignments (busy work). The key to passing is to do every single one of the assignments given. This helps out tremendously if you don't do so well on a test, quiz, or exam.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you are contemplating about attending Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College here are some tips. Use your time wisely. The classes are spread apart and you will find that you have a large amount of free time in between. It is essential that you use this time to complete homework and to study. Another tip I have gathered from personal experience is, to ASK QUESTIONS. I cannot stress this enough. The instructors there are willing to help you pass the class but they will not come to you, you have to go to them. These two tips will help you excel at Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College with flying colors. Trust me!

    In three sentences

    Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College is a great school for obtaining a quality education, with a smaller classroom setting. The smaller setting allows the student to get that one-on-one time easier rather than attending a University or larger College. It is an awesome school to attend!
