I loved my time at MPC. Lots of great professors - especially in Life and Physical Sciences. Every time I had a problem, I found the staff to be super helpful. Had great experiences with Admissions, Financial Aid and the Library. Classes are small so lots of opportunity to make friends. I'm off to CSU but will miss MPC!

The campus itself is beautiful, wonderful ocean views. In addition to the beauty, most of the instructors on campus are professors and are top notch. The student services and counselors are great, easy to work with and always there to help you stay on track.

Everything is almost perfect in this college, except for the cafeteria, which has really very little to offer. The scenic view is one of the best in the world; it is where the ocean meets the skies and the mountains where I go easily go sailing with the wind. The ocean and the beaches are so nice, most especially Carmel Beach River Run & Marina!!!

If you are looking for an education go to a different school. They have no structure or standards. Professor have degrees that dont fit the class they teach and generally have no experience or education in teaching. The school has no guidelines for these instructors to help them build quality course. Overall this school lacks quality and integrity.

This school said they would give me my accommodations when it came to classes because of my autism. But the truth of the matter is they never gave them to me. The School's DSPS failed me.
Overall 1.9
Not my kind of school. Most people enjoy it though.

You get what you pay for. The library is great and I've had really great teachers, but students can be on the rude side. Classes are also fairly easy, which means if you want to transfer to a 4 year, you are in for an unwelcome surprise. Their website is awful and hard to navigate. The campus isn't too spread out, which is nice.
