I love the class sizes! Most of the professors are very personable and always want the best for their students. The campus is gorgeous and there are a lot of good outdoor hangout spots around campus. Everything is within walking distance and there is an overall friendly feel when you step on campus.

I honestly love my as a started college, It is truly amazing how much attention they give their students, how much the care about your success, and how they’ll go out of their way to help you. The professors are all lovely to be students of, they’re very attentive and many strive to see their students succeed.

My experience was amazing. I joined clubs and that really shaped my whole journey there. I met incredible people who helped me along the way and great professors who have given me so many opportunities. The honors college was run my an amazing professor who’s no longer there.

Baya - 11/09/2020

An amazing campus with faculty who want their student to succeed. Waco is a small city but there is so much to everybody who lives here; we really know how to come together as a community. The amount of involvement of the school is up to you; you can choose to just go to class but there are great opportunities here. I love this school sad to be transferring next semester:( I\'m truly gonna miss it!

  8. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    McLennan Community College is unique when compared to other local places of higher education in that it is considered by people who go to four year universities to be nothing more that the high school on the hill. This assuumption is incorrect because I have received a very good education there and I'm planning to continue my education to earn a bachelors degree. I often hear that students from other schools look down on MCC educators, but many of them either worked or still work for well respected universities across the United States.

  10. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about MCC is that as a community college , the campus is always bombarded the first couple of weeks with students who want to give school a try. ..every semester! The classrooms are so full those weeks that there is standing room only, but as soon as class projects and group assignments are assigned people disappear.My three semestrers there so far have yet to change.
