Review of Mt San Jacinto Community College District
from Temecula, CA
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
For the most part, I do enjoy MSJC. The classes are smaller than a university so you can really get to know your professor. They are there to help you become successful and whether you're there for an Associates or to finish up general education courses, they are there for help.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's no surprise that community college is cheaper than a university. It's also the smarter road to go on. Spend the first couple years finishing up your General Education then transfer to a university. You will save A LOT of money.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be sure to register early! I cannot emphasize that enough. Many people are going back to college so getting the classes you need can get difficult. And if you get an early registration date, be sure to sign up for the classes that will be harder to get into. For example, if you need to take Anatomy and Physiology and you have the chance to take it, then take it! SO many people need the course and it is difficult to get in unless you have a great registration date. Also, if a professor in one of your classes ask for someone to be a note-taker, raise your hand. You will automatically get first priority registration for the next semester. I did that and it helped me SO Much getting the classes I needed.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you want to save money, this is a good school. And if you want to become a nurse, the nursing program at MSJC is really great as well. Hope this helps.
