Food is great, the people working there are even better. Nancy is usually working every day and really cares about her employees and customers. They have complementary lids, water, and cups. What else can you ask from the cafeteria.

I honestly didn't expect to love Mission College so much, but ended up falling in love with the small, beautiful campus. Contrary to popular opinion, I liked the food. The student body is so diverse and the professors I had were so inspiring. They have a great counseling center. I even ended up being Valedictorian, thanks to this amazing college.

Do Not consider for online courses, way behind the curve, not prepared or able to meet the needs of online students, financial aid is extremely remiss, most courses require "access codes", and additional websites for course access, which make the courses much more expensive than advertised.

This college forces its nonsensical political views on students and retaliates against students who are simply trying to learn and get through college. students aren't your political puppets. every week you see posters on the doors of the buildings accusing a student of doing something wrong. this is not a college education its a political sideshow

TERRIBLE! Where to begin? Admissions and records and financial aid never answers their phones or returns voicemail. You will call for weeks and get no response. They want you to apply with the welcome center who sometimes doesn't answer the phones and often doesn't know the right answer to admission questions, so sends you to admissions and records

Teachers are the worst
Overall 1.2
This college is weird. The teachers don't teach college material, and don't teach from textbooks. They don't care if you turn in assignments and are kinda like, whatever. The only thkng they care about is persuading political views, complaining about trump and getting rid of anyone who sees things different than them. Its real toxic here. Stay away

Horrible financial aid and admission and records is just bad. They can't answer a simple question. They tell you what you already know and that's it nothing else worse support i have ever seen. Even the India scammers give better support.
