REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThis college provides me with all of the basic classes I need to transfer to a 4-year college and still provides classes that spark my interests, such as Environmental Science Lab and World Religions. Classes are educational and small enough to get one-on-one help with the teacher.
Noelle from Murrieta, CA
I am in my second semester here & I LOVE IT! I have attended Temecula, Menifee, and San Jacinto campuses and I'd say I like the San Jacinto campus the best. All of my instructors so far have been great, very knowledgeable.
Alyssa from Anza, CA
Mt. San Jacinto is a great college. The staff, teachers and students are all very helpful and friendly. I have fully enjoyed my experience at this beautiful college campus.
Heather from Menifee, CA
The staff is very helpful at this school. The counseling department is especially helpful. There are many different class choices and campuses.
Kelly from Temecula, CA
I am truly learning so much, espeically in the science classes. The teachers (espeically in Anatomy and Physiology) are great and will be there to help you.
Angela from Temecula, CA
Ever since I first stepped into my first class at this campus, I have learned multiple ideas and concepts in every class, every day. I go home and tell my family what I learned that day and they're surprised at some of the information I tell them. The instructors take their time teaching a concept and are very open to students staying after class to discuss what was taught that day. The student-teacher ratio is very low and it's easy to interact in class with the instructor and other students.
