Merritt is such a beautiful campus! I love the environment, the diversity, so far I have had amazing professors. The staff is also amazing! They are very helpful and resourceful! I love this school, I don't want to leave next year but I plan on transferring to CSUEB.

As a graduate and returning student of 30 years, the difference in the buildings have changed but the great spirit of students and faculty and good food have not changed. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing another graduation through my education at Merritt

The campus is beautiful! My experience has been mostly online, with exception to labs. It was Covid period! I found Canvas very intuitive and the professors supportive, available and accommodating for tge challenges we were all facing. I think Merritt is a excellent educational option for any student.

I am a 42 year old woman returning to school after about 20 years. When speaking to my counselor and teachers I always received a great deal of encouragement and support. This was important to me because at times people may make you feel like you are to old to go back to school. I appreciate the support more than they'll ever know

Merritt Campus is what you make it. I loved my time here. The counselors are awesome if you choose the correct ones. The food is great and the people are friendly at least they were during my time. All in all it all comes down to what you make your experience be like.

The scenery around the campus is nice to look at, the campus was once pretty. But it's now kind of let go. very ghetto, got hit on even at my worst. couple of my professors where really nice and good at what they do. Kind of scary at night, especially because of the mountain lions, awful parking. lots of stairs, long walks from class to class.
