I love this school. All of the professors I've had have been so wonderful and fair. They care so much about students' success and making sure you have every opportunity to pass. Make an effort to make yourself known, for they can truly open doors for you outside of school and help you land jobs and internship opportunities!

Overall, this state of the art college building has the excellent sources for the student to plant their seed here to succeed in Healthcare, here at Malcolm X College.

I didn't realize the great worth of this school until I sat for my Nclex. The school actually prepared the students for Nclex. 98% of us pass the Nclex exam at first attempt. I will recommend this school at any time.

The food is either a hit or miss. I love the atmosphere here, perfect for nursing students who don't want to go to a university.

I love this school, it's offerings, it's new campus, and all the resources they have available as well as programs available to enable any student from any background to be successful in life if they want to. And such a wide variety of teachers with various teaching styles. I love it here.

This is one of the best CCC's. The professors are cool, knowledgeable, and you can tell they care about you passing. The reason the food rating it low is because if you're on foot your only options are Church's Chicken down the street, Dunkin Donuts in the Financial center across the street, and the school's pricey food court.

Not worth the money. Staff is so rude and disorganized. Advisors are 100% USELESS. The food in the cafeteria is SO OVERPRICED. I experienced a professor sitting in for her semester evaluation, telling students they better give her a good score or their grade will suffer. So unfair. Staff is never willing to advocate for their students. BE AWARE!!!

I graduated from the Nursing program with honors. Do not waste your time or money with this school. The frustration they will cause you is just unbearable. Dean Rice is a horrible, miserable person and her staff is not much better, except for Vanisha! The administration is a complete joke. Spend the $$ and go somewhere else. You will be miserable.
