SUNY Monroe Community College Reviews

650 reviews

I took a gap year after graduating high school, and from there, entered Monroe Community College. I decided to attend MCC because I had no clue as to what I wanted to major in. Finishing up my first year at MCC, I enjoyed all the classes I took and have finally decided on my future course of study: Radiology Tech. I won't be able to begin RadTech until Fall 2024 but I am already very excited! I truly love MCC and am glad I decided to attend here.

Review SUNY Monroe Community College

I learned so much from my journey in Monroe Community College. My years in this college changed me and I have become more confident, dedicated to my studies. It also provided a pathway to accomplish my goals and dreams I had for my life. The flexible schedule according to my needs provided me with more to accomplish in a very short period of time. I also would like give my emphasis on the teachers they are so cooperative and wanted you to succeed in your field and would there for you in every step of the way of your journey towards achieving higher grades and a good academic record. There also so many private colleges that you can apply to after you are done with your associates or the beginning of your education to go for bachelor’s to the four year college and this college prepares you well for further education in the private four year colleges.

As someone who has taken strictly humanities courses at this college, I feel most comfortable touching on many of their online curriculum. In the College Composition class I took, which every student is required to take, I found that its assignments and resources were poorly structured in many respects thanks to the use of Brightspace, which made the class much harder in an online setting. Furthermore, the massive quantity of spam emails one receives as an MCC student is also disconcerting.
