Monterey Peninsula College Reviews
Rating 3.95 out of 5 604 reviews
Overall, it is an excellent school. I have had a few teachers who certainly seem like they do not care to be there or do not respect their students' time, but they are few and far between. Most of the students on campus are dedicated to their academics and keep to themselves, but there have been a few strange incidents that I will not go into here as they verge into inappropriate territory. Although my ultimate goal is going to a university, I am very satisfied with the education I am getting at MPC, and I have met some truly wonderful professors who really care about their students and making sure they learn.
My experience at Monterey Peninsula College was amazing. I liked how I had the support from my counselor. She helped me out in every step to complete my classes and help me achieve my goal in reviving my Associates Degree. I had great support with her and the EOPS program. I wouldn’t change anything because my experience was great!
As a returning adult learner, I was both hesitant and eager to return to school. My goal to pursue a dream career of becoming an RN seemed attainable at Monterey Peninsula College. In part, due to the amazing faculty and the overall resources provided to students. I had the pleasure of connecting with a great advisor that helped build my confidence and worked with me to create an attainable education plan. I am a single mother and work full-time. I needed guidance to help incorporate my educational goals into my already busy life. I was able to make it work thanks to the diversity of schedules offered at MPC. I am on my second year and going strong. All the professors I’ve encountered have been amazing mentors. The MPC website and registration process has been a breeze. I highly recommend anyone looking to return to college or just starting, to consider MPC. The beautiful campus will draw you in! It’s great to be a Lobo!
