get your applications done early and have all your ducks in a row at least two months in advance. for the student load, they are extremely short staffed in the weeks leading up to the start of a semester. don't expect much help from over the phone either.

Be prepared for a good education; you will need to study and work hard to do well even though it is a community college. Also, ask about the 2+2 programs, they greatly increase your chances of acceptance to local schools. Do not expect much as far as social activities are concerned.

Be diligent in figuring out what direction career wise you would like to go. Take advantage of all tutoring, advisement and career counseling while at MCC. You don't want to waste any time and money. This is YOUR education!

Do your best to not fall behind. once you do it's pretty difficult to catch up. if something is not understood, it's best to get help as soon as possible. Choose your classes wisely and ask about the teachers from current students.

Be organized ! Act responsible and considerate of your fellow student.
