Caprice - 06/17/2020

Most of the staff genuinely care about teaching their students. The housing on campus is pretty good, but the lighting in the hallways flickers for a solid 5-10 seconds before providing a solid source of light. Security at Mid-Plains, at least on North Platte's south campus, is a joke. One of my roommates reported hearing someone scream bloody murder and smelling marijuana (separate events) and was told that it was just college kids being college kids. A guy ON THE SECURITY TEAM stood outside our dorm for like 45 minutes looking through the peephole at our dorm despite not having any reason to be there. He was also caught looking through another dorm's window and watching a couple make out on their couch. Overall, this college is okay. However, they desperately need to step up when it comes to security.

Grace - 10/31/2019

Overall, not a bad stepping stone. If you live local, it's great. Otherwise, pretty boring and low-key. The people are nice, and sports are a huge deal because there's nothing else to do here. However, teachers and fellow students are great, and small class sizes make learning easy.

Kobe - 01/31/2019

I am a high school student who takes online classes through MPCC. I have enjoyed my experience taking classes through the college. I feel as though I have learned a lot and also had a relatively easy time doing it. I have not, however, visited the campus so my review on their campus life is not accurate.

Erin - 03/28/2018

Mid-Plains Community College was a great place to start for me. Although we have faced some challenges with the Code of Conduct for certain students, I am sure they will do the right thing and set an example as to how students should be treated and show students that there is a zero tolerance for harassment.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    As a senior in high school I was always stressed about fitting in. Now I know that it's not about fitting in with everyone it's about finding yourself and who you are. College is about starting a new life from the one you had before. It gives you a feel of freedom and life outside of what you're used to. I know now that being scared is okay but, it shouldn't be everything you're feeling. Yes, college is scary, but college is also interesting, life changing, a new start, and something amazing. No matter where you are you won't be alone. Every other freshman at the college is in the same shoes as you. All of my friends now thought the same thing I did, they wouldn't make any friends. Now we are all so close and it took no time at all. College isn't as scary as it sounds, so before you stress yourself out, sit back, take a deep breath and remember that no matter what, everything will be ok. It was definitely worth the wait.

  3. Describe your favorite campus traditions.

    Our school is best known for our student/athlete program. Most of the on-campus students are also athletes. Which takes a big chunk of time out of our education and learning time. People know MPCC for the hardwork that not only the students but the student athletes put into their schoolwork. Each athlete is dedicated and that shows in our grades and transcripts.

  5. Describe the students at your school.

    A majority of the students at my school are very kind and generous. However, some do not realize that they should go to a more difficult college regardless of money issues. I have a feeling they are not learning much but they do not want to change colleges because of financial problems.

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

    Other schools I considered were a lot bigger and each 4 year schools. I wouldn't have had the one-on-one time as easily with professors as I did here at MPCC. It helped me improve my grades and get the absolute best help that I could. I knew people by name and the professors made an effort to learn mine as well. Professors spent their study time helping you. That is something very special about my school.
