Oakton Community College Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Oakton Community College
- Reviewed on: April 15, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- The nursing department at Oakton is phenomenal, with really good teachers, curriculum and facilities. The general ed classes are maybe not as good, and a few of the science classes need new equipment. Overall, a good education for a low price.
