*UPDATE* IMPROVEMENT!!!! This Spring I started the semester and it seems some attitude have changes, and people have been more helpful. Public safety has been exceptional. Advisement and financial aide this winter worked hard and maintained a good, positive attitude despite the wait times. Tutoring has been positive. I haven't had the opportunity to visit the other departments yet. Overall I raised my three stars to four. Keep up the good work MCC!

Mesa Community College Is a pretty good school. There are areas where I would rate it five stars, and other areas where I would give the college one -to- two stars.

The Instructors:
Four stars

The instructors for the most part are awesome. You should really do a little research on the instructor for a class prior to the semester. I generally find that the teachers are helpful, and fair. Most are willing to help you successed, as long as they see you putting an effort. On the other hand, I have had a couple teachers that were terrible, and you spend the semester cursing them privately cause the seem to live for crushing dreams. I would say this is a rare, but their are instructors like that.

Advising/financial aide/ Disability/ student life
One star
My experiences with the advising, financial aide, Disability, and Student Life have been sub par. I found no help, with advising. I was literally told to take classes I didn't need. I did my own research, and learned how to use the student center online. The progress report was curcial in finding what I needed, also the wedsite for degrees and programs also helpped.

Financial Aide was horrible, the individuals lacked professionalism, and didn't seem to have a clue. Literally went to them five times over the summer to make sure paper work was in order( i already completed my Fasfa early). They focused on pointing fingers at other individuals, and not solving the problem. I experienced them losing paperwork. Always keep copies of all the paperwork, and jot down the names of previous individual who have "helpped" you.

Disability was rude, and didn't care. I was stuck borrowing a wheelchair for a week. On a Friday afternoon I went out to where my car was parked, and called them to pick up the wheel chair I borrowed. The girl was rude and told me I had to come back across campus because, " she couldn't help me nor could she find someone to pick up the wheelchair". Asu's disability actual has golf carts where people who have injuries, or conditions can catch a ride to class. Mesa Community College has plenty of carts, but no one helpping injured people get around campus.

Student Life was ok, but seemed to be a clic. Honor's society was a joke, Twice in one week they let me down. Forgot to notify a teacher to be recognized, and changed parameters on a subject without notification. For a group that are suppose to be above the cut, they also display lack of professionalism.

Tutoring
Five Stars
My experiences here are great. The Math tutoring everyone was helpful and wanted to see you successed. There were patient and explained concepts, and were sincere. I stopped by to thank them for their help, and told my end grade (A). they were encouraged.

Overall my experiences:

If you attend this school you will need to take initive to get any help or paper work needed my Financial aide.

Advising is a joke.

Disability in humane

Academic society is incompetent

Tutoring Awesome

Instructors are helpful, and encouraging for the most part, but check each teacher out before taking the course.
