I feel as though Penn valley Is an institution where everyone can succeed. They offer a lot of help and support that you wouldn't get at a University and or even in most High Schools. The Staff, Advisors, and Counselors are very hands on and are there to help you every step of the way. The environment of the campus is very diverse and comfortable; everyone feels welcome. Its very beneficial for me for my transition onto a 4 year university and offers all the resources and help I need to achieve my long-term goals and I would recommend it to anyone who is coming straight out of high school as well as adults who want to pursue a degree.

Jonathan

The metropolitan community college is an excellent place to start your way towards a university, they also offer a wide variety of certificates and their nursing program is one of the bests in the state. The teachers are super helpful and really show interest in the alumni.

Megan

Overall, Metropolitan Community is a very good, cheap option for those looking to finish their general education classes. It also an excellent option for those looking to be Physical Therapy Assistants. The college has an excellent Physical Therapy Assistant program that lasts two years and gives you clinical experience.

John

It is a great campus if you're an upcoming artist because there is a lot of art to be seen that is also including art created by students themselves! Not to mention we have the Nelson Atkins Museum not that far from the school. It is a very diverse campus so there should be no problem finding people similar to you. Overall it is a very interesting campus and it is a great place to start.

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

    The advice that I would give myself would be to participate in the A+ program, which earns student's money towards community college. I would also tell myself to be more prepared for the future, and have a set goal in mind about what course of study you would like to take. As a current student, I have struggled trying to figure out my course of study, and as a result, have taken unnecessary classes for my, now, declared major. As a senior in high school, it is your highly important job to decide your future, and determine your potential in the career field. I would also tell myself to be more financially prepared, and to stay cautious of student loans. While loans are unavoidable, do not over-use them as it can haunt you in the future. My advice would be to stay calm, focus on a career you'd like and are willing to study, and to take responsibility for your actions both financially and academically.

  6. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The Metropolitan Community Colleges are a wonderful place to go to get an education, for cheaper than most traditional universities. The worst aspect to the school, in my opinion, is the amount of classes available to take online. To be a better university, the college should offer many more classes to be taken online, and thus allowing today's modern student to complete more classes through online learning.
