Tracy from Seaside, CA
I have attended Monterey Peninsula College twice; once years ago while in high school and now. It remain a quaint college atmosphere with pleasant down to earth instructors. It is a great college for those returning with classes in evening and on weekends. I love the fact the gym is open on Sundays to workout.
