    Montgomery College is a lot like high school. Majority of kids are there for their classes and then they are gone, so it can be difficult to make friends. It is also very much like high school with all the cliques.

    I enjoyed Montgomery College very much. The classes are small, the professors are helpful, and mostly everyone is nice and helpful. There are many ways to get in touch with people who can help you with anything you need help with.

    Despite my rather awful experience with MC classes, I did manage to have a wonderful time. That is 100% because of my involvement with the Theater department. Montgomery College has a phenomenal theater program. We put on two shows every year, with professional quality costumes, sets, and lighting by a great staff and assisted by the students. There are so many different opportunities for students to get involved with the theater, both on the technical and acting side, and feel really proud of their end result. I had a great time at MC because I loved every minute at the theater department.
