Review of Monroe Community College

from Henrietta, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

Monroe Community College (MCC) grants each student the ability to succeed through free resources that include: one on one tutors, learning centers for almost every specialized subject, and focusing on teaching versus research. MCC remains focused on enhancing the students natural abilities while keeping a diversified student population, staff, and faculty.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Meet the right people, make sure that their goals align with your goals. Keep the hour of noon to one open for a campus wide recognized college hour. It is college hour that allows involvement, and involvement is the key to success.

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

The professors at MCC care about the success of their student, and student aides are not allowed. As far as the rigor, it depends on which classes you take. Honors classes are offered!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I have not lived in the dorm, but I do know 6 Resident's Assistants. If you lived in the dorms you could expect weekly programming for entertainment, door decs, and calendars with fun things to do in and around Rochester.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

You have options on this campus, from a student ran 4 star restaurant, to Denny's Express, Subway, and Dunkin' Donuts, to coffee shops that offer salads and sandwiches, and Sodexo dining. A meal plan is not required on this campus!

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

There are constant campus events occurring throughout the semester, but if you are looking for local flavor, Rochester, NY will not let you down. Constant fairs, festivals, cook-offs, bars, clubs, and museums ensures that regardless of your interest Rochester has something to offer for you.

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

Hands down the best place in Up State NY to earn your Associates degree.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There are two legitimate coffee shops on campus that you can also find in the city of Rochester. They offer a walking labyrinth for meditation along with Zumba on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

All types that are looking for a certificate program, to complete an Associates degree, or looking to transfer to a four year college or higher.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are over 65 clubs and organizations to choose from, and if you do not find one you like they encourage starting a new group!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

None. The closest it gets to is Phi Theta Kappa, which is an honors program that is available to 2 year colleges.

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

If you were to ever feel unsafe, public safety will walk the student to their car, they are visible on campus and friendly while maintaining a professional attitude. They are also trained as though they were Rochester Police, and most have actually retired from the police force.
