Did two years here while fulltime. Rotated between San Jacinto and Menifee campus based on class availability and since I live in between. Seeing a lot of low social scores, students themselves aren't social just like anywhere, the school does offer social events and programs though. Faculty is pretty good, some easy, some tough. Would recommend.

Just do yourself a favor and go to any other community college in this state. MSJC enrollment staff straight ignores students, and their mistakes cost me an entire semester and set my graduation back half a year. I have been met with incompetence and been outright ignored on every level and I deeply, deeply regret transferring to this "school".

This school is terrible all around. Dangerous at night, lax teachers who give homework about whatever they feel like, people are very condescending, financial aid doesnt want to help you and neither do the counselors. This school is basically telling you youre on your own. Dont attend this school!
Overall 1.6
MSJC will leave you out for dead if you aren't on top of everything. Being waitlisted for your classes and professors not making exceptions for openings in their classes is a normal thing. How can you be enrolled in a school and have to enroll in classes at 3-4 other community colleges in order to reach your educational goals? Don't waste your time

The main campus is extremely dangerous as it's right next to a highway and there is no fencing and very little security. Females should definitely be careful when using the restrooms as there have been several issues with predators wandering on campus, etc. The administration is pretty useless and the teachers tend to be lazy... good luck.

i go to the Temecula Education Center. no sidewalks, no street lights, no crosswalks around the building. small parking lot. after 3 years they finally refilled the ice cream vending machine, unfortunately with sandwiches. teacher selection is horrible, poor selection of teachers, only one math 110 class this semester, dont like the prof.

I went here for THREE YEARS. I attended the menifee campus and all I can say is that the school is fine but the teachers could care less. I had a teacher who was once 55 mins late on the day of our FINAL!! Obviously I And about 6/30 students waited for him to show up and he finally did. Just ridiculous, wish I could say that was the only incident.

After speaking to student services, teachers and staff to try to gather prerequisite information on classes, it is unbelievable how, many departments and staff are so out of touch with reality. After a month long of attempting to get into a certain class, it was a waste of time being directed to one department to another just to be misinformed.

1.) Billions wasted on a Temecula campus they lost their lease to. $0 spent on replacing the trailers w/ buildings on any campus. 2.) Administration takes decades to change outdated practices or hire an instructor full time. 3.) The campus security lacks on the SJ campus. 4.) Registration isnt possible w/out DSPS priority. 5.) DROPOUT RATE
