Review of Mt San Jacinto Community College District
from Murrieta, CA
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
This 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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
MSJC is typically looked down upon in the community as the local community college, but in attending I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere on campus is very relaxed, but all of the students are determined to make something out of themselves, so we motivate each other.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Twenty-six dollars a unit?? Yes please! This means even students who are in tough money situations can enroll in classes guilt-free. It is very affordable, and many classes are eligible to transfer to 4-year colleges.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Enroll early! So many students apply to the college that it is bursting at the seams. This means if you don't apply for the right classes as soon as possible, you most likely won't get them. Also, be sure to make use of the counselors. They are extremely helpful in planning what classes you should take and getting you transfer-ready.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Those who are looking for a 2-year associates degree or credit to transfer to a 4-year college, but don't have a lot of money to spend. This school is a great way to buy time to earn more money for a 4-year institution, while still getting a good education.
