5.0

WHAT I LIKED

Nice campus with great teachers and helpful staff. Convenient location, lots of parking available.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

Everyone and everybody is a great, great experience.

4.0

WHAT I LIKED

MPC is a great option for those looking to avoid/lower future student loans since it is free for the first two years. You make a lot of connections and get a lot of opportunities.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

I hoped that there would be more in-person classes at this point but a lot of courses are only offered online and that can be hard for a lot of students.

3.0

WHAT I LIKED

I love how helpful and responsive the teachers and counselors are.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

I started it during Covid and the initial switch to online was disappointing since they waited until the beginning of classes to officially state classes would be online.
