What Students Say
Modesto Junior College (MJC) is seen as a solid choice for many students, particularly those looking for an affordable path to a four-year institution. Reviews frequently highlight the supportive professors who are genuinely invested in student success, which stands out as a key strength of the college. The accessibility of online and in-person classes has been praised, especially for students balancing work or personal commitments. However, there are consistent concerns about the quality and availability of counseling services and the overall campus environment, including issues of security and dated facilities at the East Campus. Student life seems somewhat limited, with suggestions for more engagement and social events. Despite its challenges, MJC is recognized for its diverse programs and supportive community, making it a valuable option for those starting their higher education journey.

I went to Modesto Junior College for a couple years to pursue my Nursing dream. I started with some prerequisites classes and I really loved it. Most of the professors were nice and shared so many knowledges to help us going through the classes. Yes, some of the classes were hard, but with all the helps from the teachers, most of us passed it. Besides that, the campus had a lot of activities for students to participate in. I loved going to my Chemistry club and Astronomy club whenever I had free time. The food in the cafeteria was good too. They also had events, fun activities, and food trucks most of the weeks. The staffs were helpful and the campus was always clean. I really loved it. My second brother is a student at Modesto Junior college now and he also loves the school. One thing I would like the school to change is the library close kinda early, so I hope the school could extend the time so the students could stay back to study in the library.

MJC is a great place to pick up a few classes and gain skills that you can carry over to a CSU. The programs are vast, and the teachers are great overall, with only one who stands out as mediocre at best. These resources are good, and the campus is lively and offers programs to assist students throughout their academic careers. Overall it's a great community college and it offers those living in Modesto a means to better themselves. The major minus is it lacks certain programs and does not have as many classes as some other colleges might.
