Mt SAC has some of the most caring and passionate teachers I have ever come across. The teachers, counselors, admin, staff, and even the students are all wonderfully accepting, helpful, and just make the school feel like a home away from home. The classes and resources available here, including the tutoring center, computer labs, language learning labs, test center, writing center, and so on, all provide a unique college experience that really supports the student and sends one on one's way to fulfilling one's academic goals the way a family would.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Use whatever resources are available to you, sign up for clubs and programs, be involved on campus, attend events set up for students, use your teachers' offve hours, use the free tutoring and printing services. These valuable resources are all available to you, so make good use of them while you have them!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Teachers really keep students' noses to the grinding stone, particularly in the more major specific courses. Many teachers come from four year backgrounds and carry the same standards of teaching here. Teachers really expect a lot of students and set very high academic standards and very time consuming readings, essays, film watching, exams, and projects to encourage students to achieve their full potential academically.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a mysterious miracle mile walkway on campus, one teacher who was a Mt. SAC student when it wad named said it had an interesting story, but
She never got around to telling our class. After that, I haven't been able to find anyone that knows the story behind the name.
There are also several classrooms that used to be used as army barracks, so they have old fashioned furnishings and a random fireplace complete with iron tools at the front.
