mcc is an excellent college on a beautiful campus. mcc has some fantastic professors, i'm actually learning that i can do math! the college has a hometown feel but offers much of what a larger college does.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
i would encourage prospective students to visit the campus, talk to some of the students. check out the bulletin boards on campus and the face book page to get a feel for the college and see if it is a fit for you.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
mclennan community college offers no dorm so i can't comment on that.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the campus offers the usual college dining with a fantastic salad bar at the main eatery. for those interested in something more there is a large selection of eating establishments within three miles.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
as i am an older adult student, i don't participate in the same things the majority of students do. the college has a river stage which is an outdoor area on campus close to the river. all the local communities use this venue for local talent during nice weather of course.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
good place to start, inexpensive as colleges go and transition to many four year colleges here on campus so one doesn't have to pay all the expenses of a four year but still get a diploma from one.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
some of my favorite spots is what i call the window walls. several of the buildings have areas with comfy chairs, tables, computers etc located in alcoves or corners with either huge windows or a wall of glass so that one has a wide view of the beautiful campus and surrounding area. one of these is on the second floor of the learning technology center, off of the library. it even has rocking chairs placed on the edge of a curved window that people of all ages enjoy.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
great for any type of student. there is a great diversity of students here. many different ages as well as ethnicity. no dorm, so must live close. i am fifty two and feel quite at home here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
there is a wide variety of clubs and organizations on campus. i've noticed that this college has a large number of music/drama artsy things going on.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
mcc is a very safe college. there are campus police and shuttle services out and about every time i am on campus. the only statistic i could find when researching this college was one that said there was some theft from a car.
