Modesto Junior College

Great staffing I love all my teachers. I’ve had just about every teacher and I honestly appreciate the time they spend with each student. They are all always available and willing to meet and help. I could not feel more comfortable here and I appreciate my college for being great.

I hope to attend MJC in the fall. It's a good campus and there's always people (teachers, friends, students, staff, etc) to help you when you need it. I've visited MJC twice and always a positive outcome. I will recommend this college for people who are looking for an affordable, close, college to attend to.

It's ok. Some teachers are nice. There is only a small percentage of professors that I have actually liked and have had an impact on me. They are pretty helpful if you ever do need help. I do have to say, near the cafeteria there are lots of smokers.

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.
