    For the past year in Montgomery college, I found it a very positive environment in terms on academics and work ethics. There are so many available resources on campus and online that include tutors, professors, books/textbooks, databases and more. The staff and everyone in Montgomery college are amazing and so helpful that all give motivation to the students there. There are so many ways you can be active on campus life such as, sports, volunteer service, clubs and even jobs! If you essentially want to finish your degree in almost any major in two years and a guarantee transfer to a Maryland institute, I definitely recommend Montgomery college. It is an overall excellent community college with very affordable tuition costs and I highly recommend it to high school students that might be concerned for financial problems when considering to enter a university/college.

    I've had a great experience with Montgomery College! The campus is great, filled with students from all walks of life! It is an extremely diverse schools, in all aspects - including race-wise, religion-wise, gender-wise, and more. The professors are knowledgeable, understanding, and willing to help their students grow and succeed.
    Overall, I've had a great experience with Montgomery College and would highly recommend anyone to attend!
    What I love and appreciate the most about Montgomery College is their financial concern for their students. Their tuition is very affordable for the quality of academics and services provided. The school is also aware of international students' interests and work hard to make sure they have opportunities that help in their academic ventures. I myself am a student who struggled to receive financial aid because of my immigration status A-2 VISA. But the school board of trustees provides both a BOT Grant and a Special BOT Grant, the latter being a grant specified for students like me who have unique financial situations. In all, the school make paying for a college a less stressful task, which in turn allows the student to focus on their academics above all else. Montgomery College makes it a priority to inform the student as much as possible of ways to facilitate their academic years there.
