    Did learn a lot

    People who seem wise or look knowledgeable is safe to judge the book by its cover because people at Malcolm X College are what you see.
    Did enjoy being here

    This rating could have been much higher if most of the activities at MXC fit my daily schedule but there are many activities that goes on there such as Christmas parties, Hispanic Heritage month, Kwanzaa festivals and much more.
    Bang for the buck

    The classes they have there at MXC are equivalent to taking classes for the first two years at most universities but at a cheaper price.
    Tips for prospective students

    I highly encourage that students claim themselves or some one reliable to pay off your fee when filling out financial aid to release any holds you may have in the future. For example, a friend of mine was a B student but because she allowed her husband to claim her on taxes, she had a hold preventing her from registering and seeing her mid-term or final grades. She was also unable to pay the fee leaving her husband responsible for her actions and because her husband made so much at his job, that effected her as the results are what is stated above. The reason for the hold was that she didn't pay her tuition from last spring which added to her fee of the fall of 2010 so makesure you stay on top of financial aid at Malcolm X College!!!
    Great for these types of students

    This community college is great for all students and its especially great for students striving for the nursing program or any where in the medical field.

    First and foremost, I want/need to thank God for their history of forty (40) years in our Medical District and in Chicago, IL. It has been easy to travel to and from work and/or home. Currently, I am a Grow Your Own (GYO) participate and it has been both challenging and rewarding!
    Tips for prospective students

    Number One (1) ask God for knowledge, wisdom and understanding as to what to major in. Please ask your family and friends for their support. Decide to be like a sponge and manage both your time and money well!
    Academic Rigor

    The City Colleges of Chicago have definitely stepped up, since I first attended in January 1976. I was not serious. Now we, the students, are expected to be accountable and responsible for our roles, daily!
    Dorm Life

    This does not apply to me.
    Food and Dining

    I finished a Nutrition course and I should have been eating and drinking better before it. I plan to start - today!
    What to do for fun

    First and foremost,my major is Early Child Development and I love to read and learn. I attend and participate in anything and everything having to do with education and/or schooling.

    I like to look at movies, e.g. westerns, documentaries, mysteries, etc.

    I remember on year during the month of July, I went to a different restaurant every weekend because my birthday is July 18, 19??

    Bang for the buck

    I like to shop at resale shops for myself, mother and daughter. As a matter of fact, I had a small business. I shopped for co-workers, who did not have the time and/or patience and both would pay me.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    I would not necessarily say it is and unusual tradition or location on campus, I found there was always something interesting going on during the day, week, and/month. For example, during Kwanzaa and/or Black History Month, there were vendors from Africa.
    Great for these types of students

    Malcolm X College is great for every man, woman and/or child because it has diversity among it's staff, teachers, students, vendors, etc.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are various ones but I really did not have the time because I have an active teenage daughter and I wanted/needed to be home as much as possible. Afterall, I worked full-time also.
    Greek Life

    All I can say, is that Greek town is only a stop East of Malcolm X. If you ride the Blue Line, you would get off at Racine.
    Campus Safety

    I always felt safe because security are off duty Chicago Police Officers.

    Tips for prospective students

    for every prospective student i encourage that you all, work hard and study even harder. joining college is a step towards, your future, your success. no matter what your career interest may be rather it is nursing, radiology, mortuary science, child development, or respiratory therapists, whatever it maybe, you must continue to stay focused. also, you must remember to never give up, on your hopes and dreams. life is to short for regrets. no matter what storms or obstacles that may come your way it is important that you stay motivated. there is nothing standing in the way of your victory and your success but yourself. never give up and always remember that no matter the storm, you can do anything that you put your mind to. quitters never win and winners never quit.
    Academic Rigor

    in order to improve our academic rigor it is up to the faculty as well as the students to work hand in hand. students need to stay focused and utilize the tutors and academic support systems that are available. the students must come to school wanting to learn instead of socialize. also the faculty must remain supportive and keep students motivated to learn.
    Dorm Life

    although the dorm life is not applicable, i am sure that it had to be an enjoyable experience, though i have never actually lived on a dorm. all i know is it sounds like a fun, and interesting experience one in which everyone should have. it is a time to interact with different walks of life.
    Food and Dining

    although i attend a community college we are fortunate enough to have some delicious restaurants around our campus. we have some of the best cooks and staff working on our campus. we even have vending machines with snacks of all kinds that accepts cash as well as credit cards.
    What to do for fun

    for fun i read, rap, study, write, cook and dine out. i am currently working on my first book that is yet to be released. i have been working on my book for a couple of years now and i am anxiously waiting to complete it and get it published. writing has always been my passion and my dreams, since i was 10 years old. i also enjoy helping others, it really makes me feel good to lend a helping hand. i love shopping and traveling, although lately since my funds are so low i haven't been able to do either. i take time in participating in school activities, such as homecoming events, talents shows, spoken word events, and newspaper writing.
    Bang for the buck

    i have been an election judge in my district for a few years now. i also take pride in being one of my 82 year old grandmothers home aid who has alzheimer's, she is my pride and joy. there is nothing that i wouldn't do for her. also, i enjoy feeding the homeless on holidays with my church. i am a hard worker and i will not rest until i reach the top. i feel as though, my dreams seem so close but yet so far away. i a highly motivated individual and i believe in my heart victory is mines.
