Awesome school
Overall 4.5
This school is an excellent option for earning an associate degree. It is affordable and conveniently located near your home. Food offered in local cafeteria could be better. During summer, the majority of classes are offered online. Many students at MCC work and study at the same time.
Overall 4.5
MCC is a great local option with some fantastic instructors. The layout can make it difficult to get from one building to another in a timely manner but isn't terrible. The parking lot has been expanded and upgraded but was a little overcrowded when I attended. There are always other schools visiting and different activities to get involved with!

Great school
Overall 4.2
Small but nice campus; great school. Many of the instructors there enjoy teaching and are more than happy to help. The only negative is that some of the instructors are only there for a paycheck, so I would highly, HIGHLY recommend always using RateMy when planning and registering for classes. More often than not, this site is pretty accurate.

Excellent place to start before transferring over to a university. Don't listen to the haters/complainers. It will be what you make of it. Tons of opportunities here. Join some clubs, get involved, network, build your resume! MCC gave me a second chance after I did mediocre in high school and I was able to transfer to UofI in Champaign right after.
Overall 4.2
MCC gave me opportunites to cut costs, figure out my career, and have some really great professors that make you enjoy your time here. With the recent additions done throughout the whole campus, it looks and feels like a brand new learning facility. Online courses seemed to be a lot less engaging, if you want to retain what you learn go to class.

It's a community college, what do you expect.
Overall 1.6
The school is disappointing. I had hoped that it would be better than high school, but unfortunately its high school round #2. The advisors barely ever help and are very rude. I am only staying for one year. Giving up getting an associates from here and going straight to Illinois state university. Do not suggest going here. Nothing to offer at all.
Overall 1.8
Administrative staff couldn't be more incompetent. Lacks interdepartmental communication, sending students on a time-wasting goose chase looking for help. Staff is arrogant, treat students as if they were a bother.

Do not take an online class. The system they use, canvas online, is the most corrupt system out there. It constantly does not work properly and will easily make you receive a poor grade just based off the system not functioning properly.
