What Students Are Saying

Make sure you know what you are doing + you should know which degree you are seeking from this college!
Khandkar from Niles, IL
Follow the general education course list they have online because the counselors suck.
Ramina from Niles, IL
Do not be afraid to take advantage of all of your resources! And don't expect it to be easy just because it's a two-year. Seek out the best teachers--ask someone who goes and who is interested in the same subjects as you, because there are some fantastic instructors (as well as some less than fantastic instructors). I think the professors really make the difference.
Christina from Evanston, IL
Know where you're transferring after. If you don't know yet, do not take specialized classes because they most likely will prove unnecessary to your future university. The good news? There's PLENTY of gen eds to choose from!
Polina from Niles, IL
students who will be attending oakton community college should expect themselves to be contained with knowledge by some of the best professors known. they have the strong desire to teach students and to make sure they succeed in life.
