Has anyone had experience travelling to the US from the Schengen area, while on OPT. I understand that students on an F1 visa are allowed to re-enter, but It’s unclear what happens for students on OPT (not in college anymore)

Unlikely to be an issue of you’ve booked a return ticket from the US. With certain exceptions, Visas are typically more about work authorization or prolonged stays for education/training.

If you’re coming in on holiday, you should be fine, but always good to check the US State Department website to confirm travel requirements from your residence/passport location
