MCCC is a college, you can get a degree there, but it was not an enjoyable experience. The administration is unorganized, the faculty members take weeks to respond to email if they respond at all. I experienced this disorganization from beginning to end of pursuing my degree. I missed graduation due to staff taking a long time to process my paperwork. I suggest to avoid MCCC.

John - 01/28/2021

I feel that Mercer is a great community college, a place where people can start their education or get credits they need in an efficient way. Most of the teachers are very helpful and teach in a certain way that makes your excited about the class. My experience has been great because this college gave me the chance to understand what it was I want to do with my life, and by spending almost two years here I believe that I have found my choice; being music business and i'm grateful for the opportunity to start my education in the right way.

Mercer county is a great community college. You can go for 2 years and transfer to a 4 year college which saves on expenses and you still will get that 4 year education. You don't live here so you do have to commute daily. They supply a great education and prepare you for your career!!

I have started going to Mercer County Community College on September 5 of 2018 and from there I can tell you that it a perfect 2 years college. It quiet and peaceful there. It may look like it has a few people there but it does not cause most of the students are inside. You know? Doing their school work or applying for clubs or sports. So if you wanna go to school just for 2 years then Mercer County Community College at Trenton, NJ is the place you want to continue your education.

  7. What's unique about your campus?

    The small class sizes are a plus as well as teachers who actually teach, and speak the language to the point that we can understand(a feat the Rutgers University fails to provide in some instances.) I think that Community Colleges are underrated and that the rankings are based on something other than what you learn there.
