Categories Rating Comments In three sentences a lot of the professors are only part time at montco at teach at very respectable universities such as villanova, philadelphia, and temple. the campus is very beautiful and the school is very well taken care of. for a community college there are a lot of opportunities available.
Tips for prospective students apply for the honors program if you qualify. it gives a full scholarship if you get in and the professors are fantastic. they also run trips that are covered by your scholarship.
Academic Rigor the academics are pretty rigorous especially in the honors program. most professors understand that students have other responsibilities outside of class and will limit the homework to meaningful and educational assignments rather than busy work.
Dorm Life there are no dorms at montco
Food and Dining the food at montco is expensive but worth the price you pay. everything in the cafeteria is made with local foods, mostly organics. the head chef is very nice and will take any suggestions you have to offer. there is a pasta bar, a comfort food station, a panini press, sushi, soup, gluten free and vegetarian options, etc. they do not offer meal plans.
What to do for fun there are some activities and clubs that meet on campus. right in the area there are a lot of restaurants and three shopping malls, one being king of prussia mall (about 20 minutes down the road).
Bang for the buck classes are very inexpensive. and the school has a very good reputation so they transfer well to four year institutions.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences i enjoy the learning environment of montco, there are not a lot of distractions. i have had nothing but awesome teachers! the teachers here really go out there way to help students succeed.
Tips for prospective students community college is a great idea if you don't mind staying at home. it is great financially and its an easy transition from high school to college. if you are thinking about staying close to home i recommend montco for the first two years in order to save money while still receiving a great education.
Academic Rigor i do not have anything to compare montco to of course but many people may say community college is not as hard as a four year college. that is not true. i have friends who go to four year colleges and we are taking the same classes and learning the same material.
Dorm Life well since montco is a commuter college my dorm is my bedroom at my house but i know people that have apartments near campus if you want that away at school feel.
Food and Dining the food at montco is awesome! i have not had the breakfast food but the lunch is great! they have fresh paninis daily as well as a pasta station, a grill, sandwich and salad bar, and lunch time favorites such as pizza and chicken tenders.
What to do for fun montco has many awesome clubs and sports to play. when its warm outside they have a dj play music and once in a while they have spoken poetry or student rappers perform during the common break.
Bang for the buck montco is an awesome bang for its buck! it is very inexpensive and you obtain a great education and an associates degree!!

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The teaching is really solid and the classes are interesting, but the quality of my fellow students is mediocre at times. It drags down the classroom environment.
Bang for the buck You can't find a better deal that this!
Tips for prospective students Keep in mind that most of the people that go to this school don't want to be there at all. Most of them are there because:
a) It's cheap
b) They didn't get into the college they wanted
or
c) They have parents who demand that they go SOMEWHERE, so they end up here.
That's not to say that it is a bad school. I just mean to say that a lot of the people at this college are shockingly, abhorently uninterested and frankly, not very smart.Great for these types of students If you're short on cash and willing to do a lot of out of school learning (since the classroom environment tends to be a bit lacking), this is a great school. Save your money, get your general education credits done here, then move on!

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Full-time online student, challenging and very rewarding
Am enjoying being here Instructors very helpful as are other students, many will take the time to aid and encourage others.
Bang for the buck On line and out of state and tuition still reasonable.
Tips for prospective students Best hint for online I have received is to purchase a large whiteboard to keep track of assignments. It keeps you up to date on what is due and helps eliminate missed assignments.
Great for these types of students Any person who wants to expand their knowledge.
