Review of Estrella Mountain Community College

from Glendale, AZ

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The class sizes are small, they keep them around 24 students per class. This allows a lot of student teacher interaction and allows you to ask all the questions you need.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

All of the teachers are very kind and helpful, plus there are two centers for free tutoring. One in the NASA center for math and sciences, and one in the library for English and other classes.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The classes are cheap compared to universities and other community colleges and you really feel like you get your moneys worth from each class.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

This is a great school to take your science classes if you are planning on transferring to ASU, because EMCC using modeling to teach its science classes. Modeling is a self discovery way of learning and it is what ASU uses, so by taking your basic sciences here you get a feel for how you will be learning at ASU.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Take advantage of the free tutoring that is on campus. Also, some of the teachers have you keep a journal for the class, but not all of them. I recommend all students keeping a journal for all classes, it may seem like extra work but rewriting your notes every night in your journal allows you to retain more of the information from class than just studying.
