Miami Dade is not the place you want to go to if you want to have the "college experience." A lot of the teachers behave as if they don't even like teaching, and are very bias in their teaching (one English teacher would just go on and on about about how Fidel Castro is the devil and how George Bush is going to save America, lol). Most of the faculty and advisors are unhelpful when you need guidance, you have to get on their face in order to get ish done. There is no student social life in campus, and I doubt most students here have ever even read more than 1 book. The only positive thing about this college is that it allows you to have a flexible schedule, so it comes in handy if you have a part-time job. The only way that you can guarantee having decent classes and teachers is by going to ratemyprofessors.com when picking them out.

I received two degrees from MDC. I graduated in 2005 and 2006. I would recommend MDC to anyone for their first two years of college.

There are several negative postings here and much of it I cannot or will not dispute. However, many of the things they are commenting about you will find at any large institution. Yes, you will wait in LONG lines for admissions or financial aid. And the student interns they hire are rude and clueless.

The important thing is not to lose your focus and remember why you came to Miami Dade in the first place - to get your degree and move on. You will encounter rude and incompetent people everywhere so just keep pushing and GET YOUR DEGREE!

The first degree I received in 2005 was an AS degree. I have already received two fairly high paying job offers in the aviation industry. I already have a great job with a Fortune 100 company so I chose to stick with my current employer and work on more advanced degrees.

Bottom line is a degree is only part of the equation. You still have to be employable and marketable. If you possess these attributes and have the drive to finish what you started, a degree from MDC can only enhance your life and supply you with more opportunities.

Best of luck to all and don't take too much of the negative posts to heart. These are just written by people who will have a negative experience anywhere they go.

MDC sucks hard! The facult, professors, students..extremely unfriendly, unhelpful,rude, uncaring, biased, close-minded, incompetent, snobby, arrogant... and no one here speaks English! I hated this school and am sooo glad to be done with it. It was the Cuban invasion of America. Miami is not America..be forwarned this place is a Hispanic/Cuban nightmare where the immigrants dominate and the true Americans are the minority. This place sucked so hard.

One of the cheapest 2 year colleges in the country. The education leaves much to be desired but you might as well attend here and build up a bunch of credits and a bunch of As before transferring to a four-year university. You save in the wallet and leave with a killer GPA. I would recommend MDC to anyone for their first 2 years of college.
