The teachers are always willing to help you with anything and everything you need, I have always been able to meet my teachers during office hours or make outside appointments if I didn't understand. In fact, I have a teacher this semester that said she would meet us for lunch if we needed her to. The teachers are there, it is all about how much you are willing to put in. The classes are moderately challenging, some more than others.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love attending MCC, I know people that attend universities and they have a hard time getting the schedule that they want. At MCC I have been able to pick my classes to my liking so that I can take my classes back to back and then work the rest of the day. The campus is laid out fairly well and there is a campus shuttle that you can catch to you next class if you need. I love being close to home and being able to have small classes so that I can get to know my teachers.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I will be transferring from MCC with an A.A degree, and I really enjoyed attending. I attended because I had to pay for my school, my parents were not able to offer me any help, and MCC is a great way to get a good education or get started on your education without having to take out numerous student loans.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Prospective students:
1) Get to know your teachers- teachers are more likely to help you out if they know you and know that you are concerned and are willing to put in the effort.
2) Take morning classes- I know it's early, but it is better to get it over with so that you have the rest of the day. For me, if I take later classes I am more likely to skip my classes if I have been up and have already started doing something else.
3) Apply early/ send in financial aid early- Always try not to procrastinate, especially when it comes to trying to get financial aid.
4) May not be really be a tip, but I always look up ratings on professors before I pick classes. ratemyprofessor.com allows you to see ratings of professors, but keep in mind anyone can post on there so if you usually do well in school then the ratings saying that some of the teachers are really hard may be due to the students lack of effort and not the teachers difficulty.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
MCC is great for all types of students! From freshman trying to get started, to seniors finishing up their degree through the University Center, MCC is fit for all. I have met a lot of people at MCC that are there for different reasons and for all different degrees but everybody seems to really like that they chose to attend MCC. If you attend, I don't think you'll regret it, I definitely don't.
