Makenzie - 12/18/2023

I enjoy most of my professors both in person and online. A lot of my professors are very encouraging, and when I’m not able to get there help, there are almost always resources around to help out. From the online tutoring and writing help center, to the library and in person students. I wish there was more involvement around advisement, especially in STEM majors.

Elizabeth - 04/24/2023

I very much enjoy the environment of the campus, though it may be large it is still very beautiful. Their cafeteria food is made fresh right in front of you and they offer a different menu each day. I would take a tour over and over again if I could just to see the turtles swimming. The staff and faculty are friendly and helpful. I have been able to pass all of my classes because the teachers have been understanding toward family issues. They host a new community option each week, such as arts or choir, even holiday specials. I suggest that anybody come here for the affordability and access to many resources.

Elyse - 12/28/2021

I think Estrella Mountain Community College is a good and caring school when it comes to financial and school classes. The teachers are ok, though they are open to students all the time for questions and such. There is really no housing since it’s a community college.

Karina

Overall EMCC is a great place to take classes here because of the variety of classes this college has to offer. There are always events to get students involved and to meet other fellow students. The professors are always helpful and are almost always available for any questions and concerns. The campus is very peaceful with a lot of helpful resources to succeed in every class.
