Mountain Empire Community College Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 124 reviews
Many instructors are not willing to help if students have questions and their courses on Canvas are TERRIBLY unorganized! The science instructors are wonderful, but that's about it.
This college has made me feel so welcome. I attended Purdue University Northwest prior, and nothing I experienced there compares to the short time I've bene at MECC. The faculty is so nice and understanding.
Only a community college and very small, but welcoming. You can get to know your peers and professors on a closer level. If there are problems within courses the professor will work with you to help alleviate the issue. Students generally get along very well and most courses are nicely paced and handled. There are also many tutoring, community service opportunities for those who want to help or need help. Small monthly food banks are also available for those who might need a little extra. Overall, family like school. I will be honestly, however, there is not much to do in terms of excitement, but there are ways to entertain ourselves when not hitting the books.
