Oakland Community College - Southfield Campus — Local services in Southfield

In 2009, I entered the OCC Southfield campus with some transfer credits from Baker College Ultra Sound Program. I was guided to a counselor by the name of Mr. Sloan. I asked him if there was a wait for the surgical technician program. He stated there was no wait you just have to take nine more classes. I took the nine classes and finished them by December of 2010 which would of put me in the September 2011 internship. In the spring of 2011, I was waiting for the letter in the mail. I did all the necessary steps I needed to take for the program. When I didn't receive the letter, I went to find out why. Sloan comes out of his office with some papers and takes me to the cafeteria in the lower level. He forced me to sign them and told me I wasn't in the program for the 2011 year.

Since 2011, I have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and...

It's a good place for students who are serious about learning. They are very supportive to help students succeed and it's a good...

If you ever have Jeffery Eichold as a biology professor please beware. He is very racist and bias towards anyone who is not white even admitted to lying about graduating college to get the job. I was walking from the student parking lot across the street and I stopped to wait for him because I thought he was going to drive past me and he made a turn into the employee parking lot without using blinkers. This is the type of treatment you get at this campus. Other than that this is a horrible place to get an education or anything else. My purse was stolen from this campus and do you think they really tried to help me get my belongings...
