Do not be shy because opening up at mcc will help you learn so much. The classes are very easy to pass as long as your there and pay attention. Do your financial aid as soon as humanly possible somtimes it takes forever to go through.

Take all you pre-requisite courses at a community college, it will save you thousands. MCC works with other schools to make sure you are taking the right classes, but make sure you talk to advisers from colleges you are looking at to double check.

If you really want to go to a 4-year school but don't want the price tag, MCC is perfect for you. You get the same, quality education but won't be buried by student loans. MCC isn't just an average community college, in fact it's ranked one of the highest in the nation!

Hang in there past the first year. Don't slack off in the science classes. They are tough!

Before attending Monroe Community College I would encourage students to get to know the city of Rochester as a whole. The most off putting aspect of attending this college as an out of state student was that I wasn't familiar or comfortable with the city. Rochester has a lot to offer and MCC involves the city in a lot of events. For example the clubs take field trips to places in the city and if you don't know your way around it makes it intimidating to be a part of these things. To reign in the anxiety that comes hand in hand with being a new student it would be in your best interest to get to know the area and all it has to offer.
