Great atmosphere on campus and amazing professors. However there is limited parking on campus and the library is closed by 8pm which is extremely early to other colleges, even for a community college!
Review Monterey Peninsula College
So many classes to choose from, and if none fit your schedule, ONLINE CLASSES! I have enjoyed college so much here at MPC. I wish high school was like this! I am excited to learn here, and that is something I will forever be thankful for. One important thing is that classes can only be repeated THREE times. After 3 times you would have to go to another college to take the course, which is reasonable to me.
The counselors are great! Pretty decently sized campus which is very beautiful! Teachers are hit or miss, look up their ratings on ratemyprofessor before enrolling in a class! I wish I knew that my freshman year. Other than that this is a great school. It makes learning enjoyable.
