Had some of the best teachers here!

Cost per unit was very reasonable!

Classes are always extremely full, so my tip is that you think carefully about the classes you need to take before you register. Do not take up space in classes that you do not need, because you may be keeping someone who really needs that class from getting in.

Students who want to get their general education done in a quick and cost efficient manner.

Modesto Junior College provides an exceptional platform to help excel you towards your future goals. Their teachers and staff are open and understanding and enjoy extending their knowledge to students of all ages. The classes range in size and academic level, and the many varying subjects allow anyone to achieve a better future.

When considering this college, keep in mind that anyone can come here. If you do choose to attend, be sure to keep yourself motivated by attending a guidance class and stick to your plan. There are also many clubs to join to keep this fast paced lifestyle fun and enjoyable.

The staff adheres to California's educational standards, and are comfortable and cohesive. The classes are easily scheduled and are more laid back than most universities. The graduation rate however is 17%, but if you stick to your plan you are more than likely to achieve 100% of your goals.

Unfortunately, there are no associated dorm rooms or apartments for students. There are many inexpensive rental homes and apartments nearby, as well as easily accessible transportation routes to get you from campus to campus.

The college is split into two campuses. Each campus provides helpful service and great food at their cafeteria, including healthy snacks, candy, chips, sodas, salads, sandwiches, and even a chef for some finer solutions. The East Campus always has access to a taco truck, that stays parked across the street; friendly service and a great price.

There are several clubs that take trips and build fundraising activities. There are often barbecues and events taking place in the quad. Also, there are many places around town to go to for fun, and many places like Barnes and Noble, or Queen Bean for entertainment or out of school study sessions.

If you want to get more bang for your buck, be sure to push yourself more with each semester. While tuition rises, it is up to you to work to your own advantage. Be sure to apply for financial aid every year, as it helps for tuition, books, room and even more.

Modesto Junior College has many fun and exciting events, including sports, theater, public speakers, and club events. The new science building will feature a life-size Saber Tooth Cat skeleton hanging from the ceiling in honor of our state fossil. Both of our campuses have great architectural buildings and monuments, including an art gallery and murals.

Great for students wishing to prepare for a more vigorous college experience. If you need to raise your GPA, or just get the same education at a cheaper price, community college is the way to go. Modesto has a great campus, and has been around for many years.

From student government to sports, you can find any club to suit your need. I currently enjoy the rigorous Geology field-studies, in which our club travels all over the western front to camp and learn about geologic movement.

There are a few different clubs and student housing establishments towards the Greek life at our school.

There are several campus parking lots that are constantly monitored by security. The school provides escorts for those that don't want to walk alone to their car at nighttime. They even provide help for students that have car problems while on campus.

MJC is the path to acceleration, the counselors set you on the right path to your goal. The teachers are personable, and you are not just a number to them. The best thing about MJC is the students, and being able to collaborate together.

When a prospective student applies to MJC, make an appointment with a counselor, to get the right information, the internet can be misleading. Make sure to ask what specific classes are needed, do not try to assume, you will waste money and time. Take advantage of the BOG Fee Waiver, it helps with kids who may not qualify for grants, but dont have money for college.

The academic field is huge, and challenging. When challenging is stated, I do not mean to hard, but pushes you to see what you can do, and what you are capable of learning. The teachers and students will help, but you have to ask.

There is not a dorm life at MJC. This is nice because it keeps the partying off campus, and keeps the focus on school.

The food and dining in the cafeteria and surrounding areas are amazing. There is a sandwich shop on Tully Road that is to die for. It is called At Home Gourmet.

There are always activities to do for fun from sports to theater to speech. Every aspect of someone's interest is either covered in a club or class.

MJC is great for students who are hard working and motivated to get their AA or AS degree.

The science and math department and tough but great, really makes you learn your stuff.

Counselors tend to misguide students, bad communications even between staff members.

As a junior college is it a great option, however expect to be there three years.

Talk to a transfer counselor, and make sure youre taking the right classes for your prospective transfer university.

People who know what they want to do and where they wish to transfer.

All of my teachers really want students to succeed. They have all had office hours and are more than willing to help.

The price is going up, but it is still very affordable. Textbooks are the biggest cost.

Don't buy your textbooks from the bookstore unless you have to. They are very expensive, even the used textbooks. Try renting and checking online sites for better prices.

This school is great for students who want to save money and still get a quality education, or plan to transfer. It is also good for people who have been out of school for a while. It also offers online classes, which works for students with busy schedules.

The teachers I have met are very passionate about what they teach which clearly reflects on their teaching and helps you understand a subject a lot better. I put what I learn and use it often in my daily lifestyle. I have even thought about changing my major because of a certain cultural anthropology teacher.

Once again the professors are very passionate and make you enjoy what you're learning even if you weren't interested in the subject in the first place. The campus is clean and there is a lot of student activity. They have convenient free shuttles that will take you from one campus location to the next and comes every 10 to 15 minutes.

They urge you to sign up for financial aid and fee waivers. When they have an event going on they make a lot of announcements such as cram night at libraries and the teachers really reach out to you if you have ANY questions and urge you to ask them.

Make sure you meet with a counselor when you're starting out and don't wait if you plan on transferring. They'll let you know what you need to do and what classes you need to take.

the way everyone is so helpful financial aid/testing/admission.how fast and easy it was to register for classes. how well the teachers teach the classes hands on

modesto junior college it's a college that truly helped me in my educational life. i came to united states of america not to long ago, and i have to say say that mjc counts with amazing instructors that helped me in a very unique way. i am glad to be attending this college, and i would like to continue my educational life no matter what school i go to.

i believe that there aren't really any tips for prospective students because i believe that the secret for a successful life is to focus in what you are doing, and if you are focused, you will find out that you are ready for many things in life.

i am a person who likes to put myself through challenges. i am currently finishing my general aid, and i will start taking science courses starting next semester in order to move to the next step, which is to be in the nursing program in a four year college. one of my goals in life is to become a doctor, and i know that with faith and support i will become one one day.

my parents house is few miles away form college; therefore, i live in my parent's house.

i like eating lots of vegetables. ever since i was a child, my mother would always feed vegetables to my brothers and me. i like to eat healthy for the reason that i like maintain healthy because i want to do well in school and what a better other way than eating fruits and vegetables.

i am a person who likes to read science books in my free time. i am a full time student; however, when i go home i like to read anything related to science. another thing that i like to do for fun is to work out. i believe that in order to be emotionally and physically ready to a long journey in life, people must have some type of physical education to maintain healthy and ready for anything.

i spend most of my time in college, and i believe that they have an incredible security program. fortunately, i have never experienced anything bad, and i hope the same for other people as well. i feel secure, of course, i still take care of my surroundings but this college counts with a very good security body.

My learning experience has been a great one so far. I leave each class with a new topic to think about, and create my own philosophy on the subject.

I wish that there were an easier way to get from class to class. This community college is split into two campuses, so sometimes its tricky getting from one class to the next. It does, however, provide shuttle busses from each campus, so if you want you only park once, and shuttle to your next class on the other campus.

They really help out with fee waivers, and prices of other services. The resources they provide such as tutoring, cram night at the library, as well as help from indivdual teachers makes it easy for you to get help in the subject you need.

For prospective students, I advise you to make an academic plan. Knowing which classes and having LOTS of schedule options is a big help. You will most likely not get your first choice of classes on your first registration, so be sure to have many classes lined up so you don't waste time or money. Also be sure to buy the catalogue for your year, the year you begin. Requirements for graduation or transfer may change, but if you get any trouble its good to know that they must hold you accountable only for requirements of the year you began.

Great for athletes, lots of sports to participate in.
Great for child development mrs. Mrs. Williams-Jackson is awesome. She knows her stuff, and is always willing to review grades and offer help.
Great for low budget students
Great for easy commute
