    Great for these types of students

    Middlesex County College is great for students who may not have graduated high schooling with a plan for the rest of their lives ready. There is really almost any class you can think of available and putting yourself into the environment is the best way to determine what you want. I left high school never wanting to go to school again and after Middlesex I have applied to a four-year University and am considering a Masters degree, in a different major than I thought I wanted when I first left high school. It is a great atmosphere in which to nurture the wandering soul.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tip for prospective students is to stay motivated. It is easy to not go to class and drop classes and stay an extra semester or a year. The biggest advantage I gave myself was take as many and all the classes I wanted. I started my first semester with five classes and continued that, also taking two summer classes and a winter class. I graduated with honors and transferred as a second-semester junior, with most of my credits accepted. MCC allowed me to get myself on track. I found a love for education at this college that I have never experienced before. It was the best decision I made for myself and I have recommended Middlesex County College to anyone considering it.
    Bang for the buck

    I was able to complete my first two years of college and graduate with an Associates degree without a penny of student loans. I have applied and been accepted to a private four year school, which are infamously expensive, and I am proud to say that I will graduate that with half the loans of my fellow students because I chose to attend MCC first. Also, because it is a highly accredited school, I was thrilled to find out that over 65 of my credits transferred, even though this university is private and out-of-state. That is very impressive and should show the high quality education you can receive in a smaller intimate setting, and for a fraction of the price.
    Did enjoy being here

    I enjoyed my time here because I found motivation that I had not previously seen in myself. I was surrounded by a wide variety of people and so I was able to realize that there were definitely more types of students than myself in the world. As an art major, I really got to know the faculty well and they were very helpful in my progress as a student. I also found that there were really incredible professors in every department because I took full advantage of the vast options of courses available.
    Did learn a lot

    I definitely feel that I learned a lot at MCC. I enrolled right after high school and it allowed me to really find my learning style which I had not thoroughly established in high school. My GPA almost doubled from that with which I graduated high school. I feel that I not only learned academically but the professors and counselors helped me learn things about myself that I needed to discover. Things like why was I really there and was did I expect from myself. I would never have done it and graduated in two years without the help of the MCC faculty and guidance staff.

    Great for these types of students

    if your the type of student that's not sure where to go or what you'd like to be in life yet, this college is best for you.why? because mcc provides great classes that may help you understand, how to run your own business. how to teach people how to enjoy the arts of photography,dance and theatre. and if your the type of student that has an idea of what you would like to do,then college life becomes slightly easier and less expensive.
    Food and Dining

    honestly... the food is not bad. deli sandwhiches and hot cooked meals. but i would bring my own food from home.
    Tips for prospective students

    for future students, do not be afraid to ask questions in and out of class. make use of the tutoring center, free library and extra professor assistance. #1 thing, this is your education, not your friends,not your parents or significant lover. this is your education and its important to recognize that. no one said college is easy; with hard work and the developed discipline,you can do anything you put your mind to...never forget that. love yourself enough to stay that you can do better for you and your future. -walia :)

    I personally use all the school has to offer. When I have to print out my paper, I bring my flash drive to their center and print out my documents. I use their computers and libraries when on campus instead of going to my local library. I go to tutoring anytime I need to, which is weekly so I can learn if things seem complicated.

    The Business students would enjoy the lectures of many professors from the Business, Accounting and Legal Studies department. The professors in those departments know tons about the business would because they are or have been a part of it. I have had a Certified Public Accountant and small business owners as professors.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    An unusual part of campus would be Rartain Hall which is where the English department is located. The building is an old structure, it is primarily a basement, the numbering on the rooms are not in any type of order therefore it is like a maze in there. The elevator also takes a long time, avoid using it.
    Bang for the buck

    What to do for fun

    There are normally really good movies that are being played in the Student Center.

    Academic Rigor

    The courses offered are satisfactory and will provide you with a lot of knowledge if you are registered for a good professor.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to study for the placement exam. Studying for the entrance exam will help avoid placement into remedial courses which are not counted as credits toward a degree or in the cumulative GPA. Check the professor you register for at ratemyprofessors.com

    I didn't eat at the school too often, but when I did, I was always surprised by how good it was. They don't have any big brand name restaurant type food, but what they have is good. What's cool though is that most of the food is made by the culinary students.

    Credits are credits. You can meet with an advisor to make sure the classes you're enrolling into transfer over to the university you plan on attending. Most credits transfer to Rutgers.

If you want meals such as cheeseburgers, fries, or cheese-steaks there is an ordering area. If you choose to get subs instead there is an area with pre-packaged subs and an area where someone can make you a customized fresh sub. I recommend the samosas, cheese fries, and all the breakfast foods (they serve breakfast from 8-11 A.M.)

    Academic Rigor

    It is relatively easy so long as all your work is completed in a timely fashion. Some professors provide lots of work and others only give 4 or so tests throughout the semester, which means that you must do well on those tests to succeed in the class. You should always read the syllabi and even go to a site known as ratemyprofessor.com to see what the professor ratings are so you could have a good semester.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not miss any assignments. Most professors are also not very lenient and do not give many assignments. Since there are fewer assignments they weigh more on your final grade. Remember, always refer to the syllabi, and if you have any questions ask the professors or go to there office hours if they have them.

    Individuals that are trying to figure out their options are more than welcome here. There are guidance counselors aimed for transfer students as well as those who may not know what they would like to do yet.
    Bang for the buck

    Each individual that attends this college will be able to have a payment plan for their semester with or without the help of financial aid. Fortunately I was able to receive my associate's degree without having much debt. Even after switching majors one year in, I was still able to get the education I needed without having to sell limbs. I have learned it is okay to go to a community college first, I needed to figure out all of my many options.
    What to do for fun

    There is a substantial amount of activities to do at Middlesex County College. MCC offers many after class clubs, movie nights in the cafeteria and as well as an activity fair every semester.
    Food and Dining

    There are two different dining areas where students can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Students can have a fresh breakfast with bagels and omelets even a fresh fruit bar. Soup is served every day hot accompanies with assorted beverages and coffees as well as snacks. There are also vending machines in every building on campus for in between classes.
    Dorm Life

    Unfortunately there is no form of dorm life at Middlesex County College.
    Academic Rigor

    Every professor has their own way of teaching. Syllabi are a great way of keeping track of what is needed in each class as well as what to expect early on. Many professors tell you the first week what they expect; by week five you already know whether you will pass or fail or if you need some extra help from the tutoring center available on campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Students unsure of what they want to major in should start off here. It is inexpensive compared to diving into a university and very helpful. Small classes are always the case here where students can have open communication with the professors and other students.
    In three sentences

    Middlesex County College offers many different majors, classes and programs. Here, students are never numbers and can have relationships with their professors to help their progress in education. Every individual at MCC is seen as someone who will one day do something great; my experience here has been a memorable one for me.

    In three sentences

    Many good professors here, a few bad ones. Website is easy to use; easy to pick your classes. I would like this college better if they allowed us use the gym for basketball more. (They currently only allow it for 1 hour Tues and Thurs 11-12 and somtimes its even closed on those days, can't see why they can't just leave it open all day everyday)

    Clubs and Activities

    I am a member of the Fashion Club , it has been a great experience interacting with a group of individuals who all have a unique sense of fashion and individuality. During fall and spring semester we put on a fashion show inviting students, faculty, family, and friends. It is a great opportunity to engage everyone and display the latest trends on the runway. Fashion Club has been a great way for me to get to know a variety of people on campus. I have established great friendships, help to build self confidence among my peers, and I have also been exposed to various opportunities.

    Campus Safety

    Campus is patrolled by security during all hours of operation. The crime rate on campus is extremely low.
    Clubs and Activities

    Personally, I was not involved in many activities on campus, but there are quite a few clubs to choose from. These clubs range from academic to extracurricular activities.
    Great for these types of students

    Middlesex is great for students who require flexible school schedules. They provide classes on weekends/evenings/online during the fall and spring semester. Over the summer, they provide a wide selection of courses during the morning or evening.
    Bang for the buck

    Middlesex allows students to complete the first 2 years of a bachelor's degree at a fraction of the cost. While buying books from the on-campus bookstore is a bit pricey, try Amazon or Ebay to save a few bucks!
    What to do for fun

    There isn't much to do on campus, but there are quite a few restaurants and malls in the area.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria provides a variety of different foods. There's grab and go foods (yogurt and wrapped sandwiches) or even hot meals (burgers and omelets). Overall, the food is quite good, but it is the only eatery on campus and seating is limited.
    Dorm Life

    On campus living facilities are only available for international students.
    Academic Rigor

    The difficulty of each course varies based on subject, course level, and the professor. Most professors are very helpful, but if you find yourself still struggling, there's plenty of tutoring services available.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure to keep up with your advisor and find out exactly what you need to do to graduate in 2 years. Most students take courses over the summer or winter semester to graduate on time. Also, be sure to arrive early on campus since parking can be a hassle!
    In three sentences

    Middlesex provides an environment where students can complete 2 years of their education, while keeping college costs at a minimum. Sometimes it is difficult to obtain information regarding transcripts/course selection, but be sure to be persistent and ask as many questions as possible. Finally, even through it is a community college, be sure to take your education seriously!
