"As a foreign student, I was required to take ESL. I was happy with the classes and most impressed with the instructors. My writing, reading and speaking styles improved quickly, but the classes not only changed my English skills - they changed my whole lifestyle. I learned how to become a good citizen and made friendships. It helped me in other areas of my life including inter-relationships, professional career, social skills, critical thinking, and problem solving. I earned an associate degree in computer information systems and am working in my field. I recommend OCC to anyone who wants to grow professionally or personally."
