Monterey Peninsula College Reviews
Rating 3.95 out of 5 601 reviews
My experience at Monterey Peninsula College was amazing. I liked how I had the support from my counselor. She helped me out in every step to complete my classes and help me achieve my goal in reviving my Associates Degree. I had great support with her and the EOPS program. I wouldn’t change anything because my experience was great!
As a returning adult learner, I was both hesitant and eager to return to school. My goal to pursue a dream career of becoming an RN seemed attainable at Monterey Peninsula College. In part, due to the amazing faculty and the overall resources provided to students. I had the pleasure of connecting with a great advisor that helped build my confidence and worked with me to create an attainable education plan. I am a single mother and work full-time. I needed guidance to help incorporate my educational goals into my already busy life. I was able to make it work thanks to the diversity of schedules offered at MPC. I am on my second year and going strong. All the professors I’ve encountered have been amazing mentors. The MPC website and registration process has been a breeze. I highly recommend anyone looking to return to college or just starting, to consider MPC. The beautiful campus will draw you in! It’s great to be a Lobo!
MPC was a great school to go to if you decide to go the Junior College route. I played football at MPC so it was pretty much fun the whole time I was there. The professors are all amazing helpful and caring people. The help and aid we receive is the best. Food vouchers, free book vouchers, a cool clubs to join. There are so many clubs and educational groups to help students it's rare if a student is not apart of a program.
