I completed the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program. I learned a lot in my classes. My Physics class was very good and organized. All of the other course work was a combination between busy work and really hard tests. Testing was held in a testing center which is typically closely monitored, but I have seen a student cheating, but that student was not in one of my classes. The test questions are chosen randomly from a question bank and most often there are questions that have the wrong answer marked as the correct one. So make sure you always review your test. The Instructors are very nice; however classes tend to start and end late and many times are disorganized. There is a lot of conflicting information given. So my advice to you is keep asking other teachers questions until you get the answers you want. You only get what you put in to this program.

ADVICE: Montgomery Colleges Financial Aide is terrible do not expect to pay your bills with financial aide money or you will be broke. Monitor the money going in and out because this college has tried to pull a fast one on me more then once. The college has had a record of illegal activity in the past year from a girl being raped in a bathroom, and a girl being harassed in the library. Those offenders were promptly apprehended, but I always carry mace with me on campus and stay in groups. It is nice that parking is free.

Quite Bright
this school is truly academic. i have many friends at a four year college that really insult the institutions academic challenges and man are they wrong. this school is extremely diversified. you will find all kind of cultures, religions.....what i like most about this school is the students and professors, the the small classes (usually 20-24 student/class). these small classes help you focus and really participate. the professors love these small environments. they form this special relationships with their students, they become your friends. i had three professors that came to my house for dinner and 1, which i would say was like my best friend. he tells me about his personal life, drive me home cuz he lives abput 2 mile away from where i live. you really get confortable with your professors. Be advised though, there is those teachers that can be jerks pretend to be fun caring teacher but do not care if your not doing well "it's like oh well you're gonna have do to well on your next exam or you flunk!! type of teachers. Eventually screws up your GPA. that means you have a little research to do to avoid those!! The sole purpose of 90% of students which by the are really smart is learning. so you get immersed in that environment. they are really friendly and helpful. the school has a lot resources and the students are involved. also the funny thing about these small classes is, you yourself can involve the entire class with a simple proposition because they are all willing to do it but you know how it is. first week of school, virtually everyone is timid . ok the down side of this school or most 2 year colleges is social life sux, you need to live near by the school cuz no dorms, you'll see older people but they are friendly but it's kinda weird if you're young because you can not talk about retard stuff..you know...they don't get it...and vise versa.one advice, first i'm a student that was accepted MIT, U PENN, U miami in high school. the reason i didn't go was personal but not academically...because 4 year student have the perception that community college students are not smart so that's why they are going there. that is sad for people that think that way. i'm thankful i didn't transfer to universities because i saved A LOT OF MONEY...LOTS but the time has come for me transfer. i learned more than i would have at a 4 year college because of these small classes. a professor can come at you full force because this professor is confident that he/she has thought you well. all i can say is if your graduating high school take a peek at a 2 year colleges look though what they have to offer( i'm speaking for all community colleges) n you will save money. don't ignorant. like any 4 year universities there are bad 2 year college so do research for a good one. conclusion Montgomery college ROCKS!!

Not so bright
MC to me was a good school, i did not take full advantage of the resources that were available to me. But none the less we should not hold all MC employees accountable for the actions of some. Now I can proudly say that I'm going to be a Strayer Unviersity rockville campus graduate with a 4 year degree in buss admin concentration management/minor in economics.
