The faculty and staff at MCC have been amazing! They are happy to assist in anyway possible. This is a completely different experience than at my previous college. I wish MCC would have been my first choice after highschool. The online resources for class are very helpful. I am able to stay up to date with all announcements, upcoming events, and of coarse class work. I do not dread going to school like I did in the past. The campus is kept near and clean. Buildings and classrooms are easily found.

I loved Meridian Community College! It was the perfect balance of not being too big for someone just coming from high school but has the adult world feeling. The teachers were very knowledgeable of each subject they had to teach. If I could have stayed there longer than two years, I would have. They made me ready to be able to move on to a university.
MERIDIAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE WAS A WONDERFUL STEPPING STONE TO FORTHER MY EDUCATION AT WILLIAM CAREY UNIVERSITY, I FEEL IT HAS HELPED PREPARE ME ACADEMICALLY. THE CAMPUS IS SMALL SO IT IS EASY FOR FRESHMEN TO NAVIGATE AND THE STAFF IS WONDERFUL, THEY HELP EVERY STUDENT IN ANY WAY THEY CAN. THE PROFESSORS WORK HARD TO ENSURE YOU ARE GETTING THE BEST EDUCATION POSSIBLE. THE ON CAMPUS APARTMENTS MADE THE TRANSITION OF LIVING AWAY FOR THE FIRST TIME EASIER, WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE OUR OWN LIVING SPACE AND KITCHEN. ALSO IF YOU HAVE THE QUALIFICATIONS BE SURE TO BECOME A PART OF THE PTK NONOR SOCIETY AND PHIL HARDIN HONORS COLLEGE, THEY OFFER CHANCES FOR TRAVEL, SOCIALIZING, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE.
