Muskegon Community College’s professors sincerely want their students to learn as much as possible and they go out of their way to make this happen. One of my instructors was excellent and helped me at my own pace. Another was tougher and rather vague. He had high expectations but I know that his teaching style made his students better learners. There are many classes available for freshman and sophomore students at MCC. There are even programs for those pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
MCC has a uniquely qualified and friendly staff. I cannot say enough about my flexible, attentive, enthusiastic professors. Along with academics, students can enjoy extracurricular activities including sports, theater, and a multitude of clubs. Although there is no campus housing, you can still get to know plenty of people and make good friends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

You can save a substantial amount of money staying at home and living off campus. MCC also lessens the cost of college by providing free services such as tutoring and printing.
