Modesto Junior College

Modesto junior college is a great way too save money and still get a great education and your degree. The Agriculture teachers at MJC are also supper friendly and will do anything to help you if you ask. Campus parking is also extremely close to classes and you don’t have to walk far at all.

Over all a good school. There are many options and choices you can choose from as far as a career. There are many options for different clubs also I do like that a lot. They could hold more events though I would like to fellowship with fellow students.

Modesto is a good college. The agriculture program is amazing. Actually it is one of the best in the entire United States. The nursing program is good as well. The college is divided into 2 separate campuses, and commuting to both is manageable. Staff is great.

This campus is amazing! I was previously here and have come back after years of being gone. I have also taken classes at the other school in the district, Columbia. It is a nice campus too, but does not offer nearly as many classes. I have taken classes at other colleges, but MJC has amazing profs and class offerings!

This school is a great opportunity to become prepared whether starting a career, returning back to school, or transferring to a four-year university. The schools offers a variety of student services ranging from EPOS to Trios to a Health Office. I highly suggest going on RatemyProfessor to find a professor that fits your personality. Join clubs on campus to be more involved and don't be afraid to do tutoring. I highly recommend first year students take College Skills 100 because it teaches you how to be successful at college. There are other supplementary course that help you investigate what career you may want to pursue. MJC has a nursing program that is very competitive, so I would recommend looking throughout the California Community College System and apply to those colleges as well. I only feel unsafe when there are homeless drug addicts wondering around the area. Luckily, MJC has campus security which I typically see around campus searching for help. I was lucky to find a counselor who help create an accurate Education plan.

*I did not have a major while studying at MJC, so I chose to list myself as a visitor.* Overall, Modesto Junior College is a pretty nice place. Of course, I only took a total of eight classes over a period of three semesters there during my high school years, but the campuses (there are two, West and East) were rather pretty, in a spread-out, rambling way. There is not a ton of lighting at night, at least on the East campus, so that was a bit scary for a 15 year old girl (me) who was waiting for her parents to pick her up. The West campus was my favorite, and not only because it was 20 minutes closer to my home. I can't speak for the lighting situation on West, since I never took an evening class at that campus. However, the West campus is bordered on two sides by the beginning of Modesto's westside farming community, known as Wood Colony, and is within walking distance of several fast food restaurants, as well as a few relaxed, yet nicer, establishments. East Campus, on the other hand, is surrounded by Modesto's neighborhoods. I can't attest to distance of food, since, as I mentioned before, I was 15 when I took classes there, and so was picked up/dropped off between classes.

The school is nice and has some nice teachers, some of the teachers are not so good but the rest are. Has good counselors that help students in transferring to other schools. the school is nice and clean with moniters and police checking the school in case of any danger. Good school for a high school senior.

I'm going on my second year at Modesto Junior College (MJC), and I personally love it! The atmosphere is great, and the instructors always want to help the students whenever they have a chance too. I started out with only one class in the spring last year, and now I'm a full- time student half way through my AS degree.

What I like about this college is this small environment. I am someone that really needs help in person with the teacher sometimes, and this environment helps a lot. Every class I take I sit in the very front, and since I am closest I always get help when I need it. The class sizes are relatively small, and get smaller towards the end of the semester, so I have never wanted for personal help from the teacher. It is a great school.

Modesto Junior college is an excellent school for AG majors. there are barns and agriculture facilities for students to work in. The professors are extremely helpful when they are available and most of the students are always willing to help. The campus is very safe and open so students should feel right at home when they attend.
