First off like alot of students i have to rely on Finaid such as the Fafsa and the stafford loan to get it. It seems that the financial aid department is lazy unresponsive and refuses to communicate with the student until the last possible second. They seem determined to force students to go on the Payment plan. - I turned in a peice of paper saying how i supported myself, apparently it wasn't good enough, so at the last minute they told me i had to redo it, even though they had known for two weeks, (I kept going in every other day to ask what the problem was and they said it was alright and to just be patient) So I redid and sent in another paper. And when i went in again to get my book voucher they told me that they never got it, and said that I had to go on the payment plan. I told them no, and they needed to find the lady that was suppose to get it. Well she did get it, but it had been sitting in her inbox for a whole week untouched. So now i'm dandy as for as i know. But my cousin on the other hand. Her mother is in other state and faxed the school her dependent verification form. Well apparently they didn't get it because there was no toner in the printer, even though she was told everything was ok, at the last minute was forced to go on the payment plan. And when she thought she had paid for the classes like they said the money was going to, instead it had just gone to her book voucher, so without warning her they dropped her from her classes, and wouldn't work with her at all to get things straightened out. My boyfriend is also having problems now, he turned in everything on time, and now 3 weeks after the due date, and he was forced to go on the payment plan, but they sent him a later stating that his letter saying how he supported himself wasn't good enough and they want him to fill out a dependent form even though he is an independent because we have a kid together. But theyre red flag was that he had put me down as his spouse, then realized his mistake and then scratched his name out. So they might drop him because they are just looking for excuses to force people on the payment plan. The finaid department is lazy, unprofessional and are not able to communicate with any other department. And they are screwing up peoples futures and are allowed to get away with it. Do not go to any branch of the mcc schools youre better off going out of state, or to one of the other non mcc afilliated colleges. University Resource Use: A-, Individual Value: F Have a Question?

Smart choice. I have read some terribly uneducated remarks made by fellow reviewers of this school so allow me to give you some facts. I will give you the good, the bad, and the ugly. Over 70% of students attending MCC are transfer students, that is a beautiful thing because if you are undecided on what school you would like to attend for the last 2 years, you are not alone. Most everyone at MCC is a transfer student. But, the very fact that I have just mentioned is the reason I am very much looking forward to leaving MCC and going on to a beautiful, interesting, and creative liberal arts school. MCC is a transit school so naturally people are there to get the credits and move on. So no the social life is not great! That is common sense! Ha, there is no student housing... people go to MCC between work and sleep. The campus ( in my opinion ) is very well maintained but horrendously ugly and bland. The feeling of walking around campus feels like the city out of the movie "Equilibrium"... seriously... its like a bunch of zombies walking around. So what do we have, a anti-social, boring, ugly, zombie filled campus? Yes, but what is the upside about attending MCC? Its a great school. When you look at MCC as a school it is wonderful. I am sometimes shocked at the variety of classes offered, the professors are wonderful, the campus resources are sometimes shocking they are so accommodating. The Math tutoring amazing, the library is plentiful, the teachers are incredibly accessible, and the online community of MCC is very well though out. Wireless runs all through campus. If you want to shock yourself start checking out some statistics and facts about MCC. They are the #1 school in the nation for transfer students. And by #1 I mean Largest. That works out beautifully for me cause I have NO idea of what school I want to go to but I am at the right school to be indecisive. MCC is very widely recognized. Did you also know that MCC staff are paid significantly more than ASU staff? True, and it shows. Sometimes I am just baffled at how great the professors are. Its as though they dont even belong in Mesa... As for the price of the school, its great! Why waste your money at ASU getting general credits out of the way?! If you want to go to MCC but still live the ASU party life, fine, go ahead. Its easy. Just attend ASU parties on the weekends. That is the reason alot of students jump to ASU, jokes on them. You are getting the better deal by attending MCC. It is a fraction of the cost and the professors are better educated. MCC is sure as hell not some charming campus teeming with interesting characters, but its a wonderful school where you can take it seriously for a year or so and move on to bigger ad better things while all those guys at ASU are doing the same thing but taking twice as long and blowing twice the cash. You decide. P.S. Every fellow student I have approached this semester have been really radical and genuinely interesting. True, MCC doesn't have much going on for it in the social aspect, but when it boils down to it you are at a campus surrounded by fellow students your age who are all thinking the same thing. Having said that, it is very easy to meet great new people and make a social life for yourself. University Resource Use: A+, Social Life: D- Have a Question?

Upon my first visit to registration it seemed overwhelmingly packed, but the registration front desk staff were friendly. After speaking to an advisor he reffered me to the Vet Tech program Director who uopn first conversation and impression was very impolite and rude. Her verbal conduct with me was offensive and unproffesional. I was treated as if I was a nuisance because I was trying to get information about the vet tech program. It was extremely disappointing to be treated in the rude manner that the Director displayed. It is very sad when a Director of a school is very unapproachable and discouraging to speak to in a college educational envioroment. Useful Schoolwork: A, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
