    Am learning a lot

    Mt. San Antonio College attracts students from all over Southern California. This college offers numerous programs, contains excellent departments, and provides incredible student and academic services.

    Mt. Sac offers the Special Admittance Program which allows students from junior high through high school to attend college. I started college meanwhile in high school. Yes, I know unfair, but the important thing is that I truly grasped and appreciated an education.

    Because my situation was so unique, I really saw how poor high school education was from the collegiate level. Frankly, I couldn't wait to get into Mt. Sac officially. Why? Because the programs at Mt. Sac are academically enriched. Students truly grasp the concept and ideas of general education as well as other areas. Professors give the opportunity for students to interact among discussions, to express their views, and contest as well respect certain ideas. The classroom environment is truly an open forum to learn, observe, and come up with our own conclusions about life. Moreover, the professors have excellent experiences within their profession, and, they really try to meet the students needs.

    On a higher note, students at Mt. San Antonio College get to develop study skills like no other. Numerous study groups fill the study rooms in the library, the school campuses tutoring sites fill up with english/math/science appointments, the computer labs get easily packed with students who need help with their homework, special programs offer students to meet other students on campus who are wanting to develop certain study habits, and workshops are held so that students can have an opportunity to gain leadership skills.

    Am I learning a lot? 5 stars for the Mt. Sac Mounties! YES!

    I grew so much as a student and person at Mt. San Antonio College that I have earned my name on the Dean's list for earning a 3.6 GPA. Because of this achievement, I am now an upper division spring transfer student who has been accepted to three prestigious universities in the United States.

    I am proud to be a MOUNTIE!

    Am enjoying being here

    At Mt. SAC, students truly are aware of the schools mission and that is academic success. We are reputable for being one of the top schools with successful transfer students and graduates. Furthermore, we have one of the most diverse campuses throughout southern California, and, we have one of the best athletic programs in the state.

    Having such a diverse student body has made the campus ever so exciting. This is because our student body has so many eclectic and active clubs on campus, numerous sports, and so many intelligent and talented students. I myself was part of the political science club called Global Resistance Networks. Considering how large the campus is and how many students attend here, the community still managed to feel like a family. I got to know the student body government, presidents from the different clubs, and the peers who were in my classes that were interested in what I found to be exciting. Furthermore, I got to mingle with football, basketball, and soccer players who were athletes going on a full ride to some of the best universities in the country! During the Budget Cuts on community colleges, we all got together to create a March and Rally against the Budget Cuts against California's Community Colleges.

    Apart from activism, many events occur here. If its our radio show holding events or colleges visiting our campuses, there is always something going on. We have plenty of nature at our campus. You may either find students napping under a tree or relaxing on the grass eating, studying, or talking to their friends.

    At Mt. SAC, no doubt you will find that it is a pleasant school to attend.

    Bang for the buck

    Affordable! Request for the Governors Fee Waiver! Apply for FAFSA! Apply for CAL-GRANT! Apply for scholarships! This school is truly worth the expense! No student loans needed! You will be glad you went to a junior college first. SOOOO much cheaper.

    Tips for prospective students

    Talk to counselors every semester to keep on track with your academic plans. Students tend to take classes that do not go towards their GE's or AA in what ever subject.

    Find out what you like! Find out who you are!
    Mt. Sac offers many self-evaluation services and helps you find out what you are good at!

    Furthermore, they are always hiring on campus and show postings of the local cities and companies who are hiring for all types of positions.

    Get there on time! Parking is crazy!

    Do not forget to drop your class if you do not plan on taking it anymore. W's are ugly and will hurt your academic record.

    I believe that Mt. Sac is one of the best community college out there. The teachers are very concern about their students future. Many try to warn students what will happen if they do not study they way the teachers want them too. Though, it is only to make the students prepared when they transfer to a university. In Mt. Sac you do not only learn the material, but also real life experience.
    Am enjoying being here

    The atmosphere is very calm. Everyone is surprisingly very kind to one another. Meet people and be social. In the end you will have connections in the future. College is the best way to make friends because everyone has a great future.
    Bang for the buck

    If you want to save money apply for scholarships.
    Go online to search for books such as Amazon.com and more.
    Apply for financial aid and Bog Fee Waiver.
    Tips for prospective students

    Mt. Sac will teach you how to become an individual because no one is going to cater to you and make sure you are taking the right classes. You have to find out on your own and ask a counselor to see if you are making the right choice for your major.

    Remember to never give up. There will be times when you would not get your way and would not be able to add the classes you wanted to. Most of the classes would go to the junior and senior students. Despite that occurrence, you will always have a chance to add your classes as long as you show determination and try to be present at the class you want to take. Sometimes, you may have to try more than one class. There would be other students how give up, and because you did not, you will have a higher chance to be in the class.

    In addition, do not take more units than you can handle because you would only suffer.

    Finally, take advantage of the tutors given in Mt. Sac. ITS FREE.

    Great for these types of students

    If you are a shy person, get ready to open up because in order to succeed in any college you must be open.

    Determined
    Motivated
    Independent or ready to be indepent

    It's up to you to make the most of your classes. Take good notes, exchange contact information with others (in case you miss a lesson), and don't be afraid to ask questions :)
    Bang for the buck

    You get your moneys worth when it comes to classes... but search around elsewhere (ie. online) for deals on textbooks .
    Tips for prospective students

    Keep your eye on the goal -- sometimes class may seem like the last thing you went to do, but remember that it's a step in the right direction & it'll all be over soon. Work your butt off now but still remember to enjoy yourself!!

    Make the most out of classes -- Don't be shy :) Make friends inside and outside of your classes as well as get to know your professor a little. You'll be more comfortable & it will make school a bit more enjoyable.

    Last, but not least -- Be careful of your workload & the classes/teachers you pick. Don't try to overexert yourself by carrying a ton of units. Check out ratemyprofessor.com if you'd like some sort of help in choosing a professor.

    Great for these types of students

    Mt. SAC is great for everyone and anyone - all ages welcome! Get ready to open your mind & meet new people :)

    Tips for prospective students

    After, you have applied to the school look for a really good counselor that will help you along the why, but you have to help them with what you want to do in your life. Such as, whats your meager going to be? And are you wanting to transfer? With this in mind they can place you in the right direction.... GO LUCK TO HOW EVER WOULD LIKE TO GO TO MT.SAC :)

    Professors tend to be very good. As long as you do the work you're going to learn a lot. There are several different departments that are very willing to offer their assistance. Including tutors who will proof read your essays and help with math/science questions. All professors offer office hours which allow you to go ask questions and get extra help in person. I recommend taking at least 1 PE or Health class at Mt. Sac. Also, Mt. Sac has one of the best dance programs around.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's fun; however, parking can be very difficult. Especially during the first few weeks of school. It's also difficult to get classes and sometimes you can't even be a full time student because there isn't enough classes available. But, Mt. Sac offers a variety of clubs and different opportunities to get involved with your community. There's always something happening on campus if you're bored.
    Bang for the buck

    Definitely worth your money. Usually, the state will waive the tuition fee. Since you pay approx. $36 per unit, tuition is cheap and worth while. Besides, your health fee provides you with discounts around campus. Also, Mt. Sac offers a gym that has really cheap membership. And, for around $70 they'll determine your body fat percentage. They're one of the few places around that has a hydro static tank. One downside is food around campus tends to be a little overprices. Also, a lot of classes provide access to a lab where the computer software is very helpful for studying.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get to class several hours early the first week. You don't need a parking pass the first 2 weeks during a regular semester and during the first week during an intersession. Also, try to get into a program that gives you priority registration. Such as DSPS, EOPS, connect4, join a sport, or music program. It's nearly impossible to get classes without priority registration. If you can't apply to these programs it's necessary to stalk to registration page until you can get on a wait list. If you can't even get on a wait list, just show up to the class. A lot of professors are nice and will add you to the class anyways. Make sure you apply for financial aid ASAP.
    Great for these types of students

    Determined students, those looking to transfer to a 4 year University, or those looking for an associates. A lot of students tend to think college will be easy, just be careful not to slack off or fall behind. Mt. Sac offers university tours, scholarships, and tons of help for those trying to transfer to a 4 year institution.

    Did learn a lot

    I was able to make an easy transition from high school to the college lifestyle with the help of many staff and faculty members. I have taken a variety of classes that benefit my own knowledge and will contribute to my business major. While I attended Mt. SAC I learned how to correctly write an essay, figuring out word math problems, accounting tips, a new language, how to better take care of my plants and landscape, understanding the economy, language ability of infants and toddlers, and so much more. I graduated from Mt. SAC with a Language Arts Associates Degree and am transfering CSU Bakersfield.
    Did enjoy being here

    I will miss going to Mt. SAC. I have met many different people, who have become a huge part of my life. The organization of the college really shows and makes it easier for students to focus on school and for the school to focus on their students. The experience, people, and the knowledge I have gained could not have happend anywhere else but Mt. SAC. Also, the sport programs that are offered at Mt. SAC are one of the best in the State. I was able to have priority regristration with cross country and track & field.
    Bang for the buck

    YES!! To get all of ones general education done for a low price is great. The class rooms are small enough for one on one time with the professor. Since the professor has less students in the classroom at one time, student professor communication is easier. Even though price matter, the knowledge, memories, and experience of attending Mt. SAC is price less.
    Tips for prospective students

    A few things that a future student would need to keep in mind would be:
    Check final date and time
    Map out classes
    Get to class on time
    Print out schedule
    Be prepared
    Always get a classmates name and number
    Check for drop dates
    Get to school early to get a parking space
    Have Fun
    Make sure to drop classes that you are no longer going to attend before refund date. If you don't drop the class and don't attend class, you will receive a fail grade and would still have to pay for the class.
    These tips will insure an easy transition to Mt. SAC.
    Great for these types of students

    This school are for those students that want to get a second chance at a better education. If a high school graduate was unable to get into a University, was not accepted to the university of their choice, or simply was not able to afford to go to a university right away, then starting a JC is the best start.

    Mount SAC is a very gorgeous campus. I was very surprised when I first came to visit in the summer of 2011. I would give this school a 4/5 in rating.
    Tips for prospective students

    Buy a parking pass early because you will get a ticket if you dont and paying 33 dollars in the worst thing. Encourage a prospective student to play a sport at Mt. SAC, so you get priority registration for all the classes.
    Academic Rigor

    I think the professors are all awesome in my opinion. I have been here for one year now and I haven't had a problem with any teachers. Do the homework and study for the tests.
    Dorm Life

    I live in apartments near the 57 freeway off Temple ave. I live with 5 roommates in a two bedroom apartment, so we can all save as much money possible. I love it here at The Crest/Eaves Apartments.
    Food and Dining

    My parents live in San Bernardino, so I don't have my parents buying and making me food every single day and meal. I buy my own groceries and it is pretty awesome. I get what I want to eat, but I have to pay for it.
    What to do for fun

    I play Baseball at Mt. SAC, so the most fun for me is playing baseball every single during the year. Other than that, we like to go to the movies, swimming at the apartments, go to Angel's stadium to watch a baseball game. There is so much to do because we are in the center of a lot of cities and it never gets boring.
    Bang for the buck

    I like the school in my opinion. It's beautiful to look at. After construction, it will be even more beautiful to look at. I'd say attend Mount SAC, get an apartment with some of your friends to make rent cheaper, and play a sport at the school. School will be fun to experience.

    Mt. Sac has amazing teachers, amazing students and the campus is beautiful. Although the campus food is very overpriced and the tuition is absurd, i am still very satisfied with the school. I just wish the school's agenda could be more focused on the benefit of the students rather than making money. Thank you.
