MJC has been great for me. Staff is kind and helpful, never rude. Counseling services are wonderful. I feel there are a lot of resources to help you succeed. Instructors want students to do well and have been understanding. I would recommend MJC to everyone.

I literally love everything about MJC. It is one of the best community colleges out there. Staff and professors really do care about the success and well being of their students.

The counselors are great, the clubs, the friendly faces everywhere, from the programs like CARE, CalWORKs, EOPS, DSPS and more do the best they can to help one succeed. I lost my mother in Fall2019 and the MJC family helped me emotionally, physically and emotionally. I am still fighting the loss and pain. But with such an amazing school I am good.

Great college! Many people in my family attended MJC. I have heard so much positivity that I had to see for myself. The college has two different campuses East and West. Youll find both to be up beat with a positive environment. I recommend because being on campus is a unique experience. There are days where I dont want to leave. Good vibes!

This school is awful

I mean, it's alright. Some professors are truly amazing. Some make you want to self forever sleep. Campus is a bit sketch, but so is all of Modesto. Some staff know how to do their job, but most don't. It's fine to get your GE stuff. but other than that I don't like this place. Feels like a big high school filled with depressed adults.

The top earning careers for students are in the STEM field MJC does an abysmal job at preparing students for those majors. Bad math and limited physics department. They need to rethink those programs. If you are a liberal arts major come here, but if you are a stem major don't. Most people just transfer to Stan. Overcrowded hard to get classes.
Overall 2
I honestly wish I didn't come here straight out of highschool. I had a bad experience, lots of adjunct professors teach poorly. Bad math department except 2-3 profs. I had to switch to Merced College to actually be able to graduate on time. I wasted so much time here because classes are impacted. Generally very unhappy at MJC. STEM Majors stay away

some teachers are great, some make you leave class and go cry in your car for 30 minutes. the people in the counseling office are great and really care about you they'll point you in the right direction. if you ever have to talk to wendy in the science, math, and engineering building good luck, she doesn't care about the students at all.
