    Am learning a lot

    I have learned a lot while attending this school. I have been going here for over a year and have been happy with all my instructors. The professors are friendly and helpful when you need information. The classes were not too easy or too difficult.
    Am enjoying being here

    I attended a full year at Center Campus and a semester at South Campus. The school is clean and tidy. I personally don't enjoy being here that much, just for the fact that a community college doesn't really provide the college experience as compared to a University. At a University, there are thousands of people that live within a 10 mile radius and all have their own places and parties and gatherings on the weekends. At Macomb Community College, most of the students live with their parents still and usually don't have much going on during the weekdays or weekends. The good thing about this school is that its not as big as a campus and its easy to find your classes and not get lost. Faculty members are friendly and very helpful when you need them.
    Bang for the buck

    It is definitely a great deal, with classes that cost under $100 per credit hour. I have worked part time making little about minimum wage and have been able to afford classes and books without taking out any student loans. Universities offer credit hours that sometimes cost more than triple the amount compared to Macomb Community College. It was nice for me to attend this school and not have to sweat worrying about student loans.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you fill out the financial aid in time and also register for classes as soon as it is possible. Sometimes classes fill up fast and you will be stuck with hours that are not convenient. Stay focused and don't skip classes, as it is very easy to get behind when you start slacking.

    Students who don't want to go away or are trying to save as much money as possible.

    While I prefer the more seasoned classical teachers. All my courses have had a rich amount of information in them. What you can learn really does warrant the credits you'll receive.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is very safe and parking is plentiful.
    Bang for the buck

    Be wary that they will withhold your Financial Aide access for as long as possible. This includes making your money only available in their on campus store the week before your class starts.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't buy books unless you've been told you need to and moreover save your receipts.

    Yes the small classes make it easier for to study to get more help from teachers and ask questions.
    Am enjoying being here

    i enjoy the atmosphere people are friendly and easy to relate to since most of the student are from the same community.
    Bang for the buck

    At Macomb a full time student will only have to pay 864 for 12 credit hours which is great. Other colleges tuition's are about 10 times more than Macomb
    Tips for prospective students

    Show up to class and always study because if you want to succeed the book will have to be your best friend.

    Am learning a lot

    Several of the general ed classes at macomb seem to be slightly below average in terms of difficulty. Much of the class is a review from high school courses. Though teachers can be a hit or miss, you still have to work hard for a good grade.
    Am enjoying being here

    Macomb really has a great overall atmosphere. It's a comfortable, friendly place to be. The school isn't too large, nor too small, so students still have the opportunity to make friends.
    Bang for the buck

    Macomb offers a significant amount of classes, on top of that is a beautiful campus. For a full-time student (12+ credit hours) it will cost you about $900. Universities have single classes that cost about that. Macomb is a good deal.
    Tips for prospective students

    I suggest you get referrals for teachers, either from friends or counselors. Also leave early, (not just the first day) depending on what lot your in, it can be very time consuming to find a spot-especially in winter. Register as early as possible, join a waitlist if need be, your chances are good.
    Great for these types of students

    Macomb isn't specifically for a single type of person. It's a cheaper alternative to a larger university, the only thing it lacks is the personal dorm rooms. Macomb welcomes great diversity!

    Am learning a lot

    You really learn a lot at college, just remember to study what you have learned occasionally.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have really enjoyed attending Macomb, but sometimes the teachers make the classroom atmosphere quite dull. My advice would be to try and find out information on the professors before you sign up for their classes.
    Bang for the buck

    If you are paying your own way through school like I am, this is the way to go.
    Tips for prospective students

    Even though your friends may think that it is cool to skip class, you really shouldn't. First of all, it is very disrespectful to your professor-no matter how boring you think they are. Also, either yourself, your parents or the government is paying for your schooling, so don't let them down-or yourself. It drives me crazy when I hear people talking about skipping or partying when I am trying so hard to put myself through school with no steady income--come on people you really need to shape up and get your priorities straightened out. The last thing that I will say is that parking at macomb can be quite tricky sometimes. Make sure that you give your self enough time before your classes so that you can find a parking spot-in other words, don't leave your house at the last minute and expect to be on time for your class. Lastly, watch your speed and make sure you park only in a parking spot, I know it sounds ridiculous but I have seen many kids get tickets for not doing that.
    Great for these types of students

    Macomb community college is a great school because it offers great classes for a much lower price as well as offering after school clubs, sports and activities. The campus is really pretty and there are trails for walking on and places the take a break in between classes. This is a good school for those who have a lower income or are paying their own way through school.

    Am learning a lot

    I have learned a lot while attending Macomb. Most of the teachers are energetic and passionate about the subject they are teaching. Most of the teachers find unique ways of keeping their students engaged in what is being taught, and make them learn the material that is being presented.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am enjoying my time here at Macomb. The campus is actually really pretty. It's so nice to go walking around outside between classes. It also seems like professors want you to meet new people, and make sure it happens within their classrooms.
    Bang for the buck

    All in all, Macomb is pretty inexpensive. This is one of the main reasons I chose to attend. Compared to Universities, it is a whole lot cheaper, and you are exposed to the same classes and teaching strategies. Some of the professors also work at Universities in the area as well.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking to attend, make sure you go to one of the open houses that they hold each summer. It is a great way to see the campus, and meet some of the people involved around Macomb.
    Great for these types of students

    While attending you must look at ratemyprofessor.com before choosing your classes. Doing so, you will be allowing yourself to get the best teachers to serve your needs. All of the ratings are anonymous, so the students don't lie about the professors and their teaching abilities.

    This college is great, I really rely on the tutoring that is offered on campus. The class size and instrutor ratio is satisfactory, along with some instructors that take time out to explain/teach to students. Students services can also be a great way to pass time to get to know other students and volunteer time within the community.
    Academic Rigor

    of course it is great to give it your all academically
    Food and Dining

    great food is available on campus located in each student services building. and there are also restaurants within walking distance of both campuses

    hangout with classmates, going out for drinks, bowling, outdoor activities

    Am learning a lot

    When being in a class of 30 kids instead of 300, the classes are more personal in the professor/teacher and easier to learn in and more is to be learned.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being in a smaller atmosphere. Macomb is perfect for students, no matter what age, to get back into school without feeling the crazy college pressure.
    Bang for the buck

    I feel I am getting the same education as my brother, who is at Michigan State and is paying more than triple I am.
    Tips for prospective students

    The teachers and councilors are great. Honestly, if you have a question, just go up and ask. They aren't as mean as everyone says.
    Great for these types of students

    It great for any age or type of student - from continuing right after high school to going back after taking time off.
