    More affordable than most institutions especially if you live in state. If you do live in state tuition is under $20,000.

    I really think that MCLA is worth the money. It is a cheap school and all of the money you do spend goes to good use. It is a really great community and a really great place to learn. There is always something to do and there are tons of really great opportunities every year like a spring concert, different club trips and other really great activities that our student activities counsel puts on.

    M.C.L.A. is priced like a state school and acts like a private school. It is personal and has a small student-to-faculty ratio, and there are many opportunities available. The faculty respect the students and respond to their problems and questions promptly. The teachers are absolutely fantastic, and it is easy to get to know them. If you attend M.C.L.A., the world will open up to you.
