Review of McLennan Community College

from Waco, TX

Describe your college in three sentences.

mclennan community college has a great athletic as well as academic program. the teachers and coaches have taught me great responsibility and given me knowledge that i will carry with me for the rest of my life. mclennan is also a great transition school for those who may not be comfortable with change.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

some of my tips for prospective students would be to get an advisor, keep in good touch with your professors, and just don't slack. i would say an advisor would be very helpful because they can help you plan financially as well as academically at mclennan community college. keep in good touch with your professors because if you stay on their good side and do your work, you will have a great time here. which brings me to the not slacking comment. do your work on time. do it ahead of time if possible. the sooner, the better when it comes to college!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

academic rigor at mclennan community college is pretty good. i believe the professors do a good job at giving us problems that make us think but then be sure to go over until we understand exactly what it is we are doing.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

mclennan community college does not have on-campus dorms. for athletes, they have duplexes that we stay in. some are paid for, some are not. there are quite a few nice apartment complexes around the area which would suffice.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

the campus is an average size. not too small, but not very big. it has at least three campus patrol cars that i always see roaming the area 24/7. they do a great job at keeping the campus safe and the people of mclennan safe as well.
