This school has a better educational system where they don't make it too hard for you to learn. They even have good professors and barely any bad ones. It May not be a big campus or a university but the fact that they have a good educational system is worth it. Better than Riverside City College's educational system.
A reasonably sized college that suits mostly all of your academic needs
Wonderful school, great cafeteria, LRC, Clubs, great professors. The office staff wants to help you. Got to meet with a counselor the same day.
I had the best experience at MSJC. The Learning Resource Center is so helpful as well!!!
Best education I could have received. Better than university and cheaper (I have since gine on to get a Masters). Lower division courses with articulation agreements automatically transfer to CSU or UC with priority admission. I didn't have to jump through hoops or take stupid tests to transfer, I just got in because I already had three Associates degrees.
The educators here are phenomenal. Dr. Denise Dalaimo (sociology), Pamela Ford, (anthropology), Willie Hamilton (political science- since retired), Maria Lopez (psych), Blaga Pauley (math-RIP), DR.STERLING ROULETTE (A&P and don't call him Doctor), so many others (I can't remember my chemistry, English, Spanish, speech, or statistics instructors) and the ENTIRE NURSING FACULTY, their voices are still with me after more than two decades.
This is an Ivy League education on a dollar store budget. Send your kids here, you won't regret it. Also, both campuses are beautiful. Consider why people with Doctorate degrees are teaching here instead of a fancy university with politics and tenure - it's because they're there TO TEACH, not get famous. They should be famous. I am forever grateful to MSJC and the professors I still love after all these years.
This college will always be my alma mater, no matter how far I go.
Man, this place is BRUTAL! Communicating with anyone on the phone or getting anything done by communicating with these guys is a test of endurance and persistence. They don't really know anything about SERVICE. Yes, they're a college but they're still a business and are providing a service to people.
When I went to school there it became very evident that them doing business and making money was a principal objective. Books and tuition cost a lot. I think I recall spending $700 on books for a part-time semester. Despite this, they consider that they don't have to give good, fast SERVICE to people.
I've been calling these guys repeatedly for over an hour to get my transcripts sent. I talked to them but had to call again for more info. Now I've paid the $10 and got my transcript sent but have a question about it because it's not as complete as I thought it'd be, but of course NO ONE is answering the phone - hence the endurance and persistence match.
I've been taking online classes and Canvas is great. They definitely improved the online courses due to Covid. You can get tutored even late night.
Great school! Jeri Phillips attended mostly in the 90s. Worked in the library learning center as well. Wonderful staff, great Professors. Del Barnett speech dept. a great man. I can get up in front of a any size crowd and and talk about anything. Chuck Roar ( brilliant man)and his accounting classes made me a valuable employee where ever I have worked. Great music department.. Maria Lopez Trevino a wonderful teacher. Bobby Avila another brilliant man.
Excellent place for a rehearsal. We were protected from the excessive heat.
Amazing community college for our little area the staff the teachers the programs the students it's just an amazing gift to our community and we should all support any efforts that they make in furthering the higher education of our community members.
