I'm sorry, but this place is a dump. Please, PLEASE do not believe a word of the nonsense spewed from their website or PR department. Like many other people who have gone here say, MBC is riddled with ignorant, rude, and lazy people. People are clique-y. If you are not black, a lesbian, or a smoker, don't plan on finding friends.

If you actually care about your studies, this is not the place to be. The faculty are weird and aloof. If you need help from your advisor, don't expect it. I received the worst help ever from my advisor as a Freshman. She had me in all kinds of ridiculous classes. Now that I am at a real college and know what's up, I realize that her help was essentially the

blind leading the blind
so to speak.

Also, don't get me started about the dorm life. I know all Freshman dorms are on the low-end of nice, but it was more of the people living there and the rules that ruined it for me. Many of the people living on my hall were rude, obnoxious, and downright violent to each other at times. Also we had people defecating in the bathroom NEXT TO the toilet. I am not making that up. I could not make stuff like that up.

Then there is the PEG program. This is for children as young as 12 who are "gifted." I met some girls who did seem bright for their age, but many others just have idiot parents looking to dump them on someone else…I.E. the school. They take classes with the college-aged women and are often too immature and lacking in world experience to be participating in college level classes and discussions. This takes away from the learning experience of the older students.

Bottom line: MBC is a bad school and a terrible place in general. I learned this the hard way; my review is completely honest. I'm trying to save someone else from going through what I did. Why not consider Hollins or Sweetbriar, which are within 2-3 hours of MBC and are also women's colleges…only not ghetto. (I am currently at Hollins and I LOVE it!) I was excited to attend MBC as a Freshman, and worked hard in highschool so that I could get into a good college. MBC not only deceived me about being a "good" college, but they broke my heart. I left after the first semester. Their advertising is completely false and they put on airs when you visit. It is a disappointment waiting to happen if you have any expectations at all.
