Review of Modesto Junior College

from Salida, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

MJC is the path to acceleration, the counselors set you on the right path to your goal. The teachers are personable, and you are not just a number to them. The best thing about MJC is the students, and being able to collaborate together.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

When a prospective student applies to MJC, make an appointment with a counselor, to get the right information, the internet can be misleading. Make sure to ask what specific classes are needed, do not try to assume, you will waste money and time. Take advantage of the BOG Fee Waiver, it helps with kids who may not qualify for grants, but dont have money for college.

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

The academic field is huge, and challenging. When challenging is stated, I do not mean to hard, but pushes you to see what you can do, and what you are capable of learning. The teachers and students will help, but you have to ask.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There is not a dorm life at MJC. This is nice because it keeps the partying off campus, and keeps the focus on school.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food and dining in the cafeteria and surrounding areas are amazing. There is a sandwich shop on Tully Road that is to die for. It is called At Home Gourmet.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are always activities to do for fun from sports to theater to speech. Every aspect of someone's interest is either covered in a club or class.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

MJC is great for students who are hard working and motivated to get their AA or AS degree.
