What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If I were able to go back in time and tell myself what I now know as if i were a high school senior, I would definately let myself know to take my time and make the best decision for me, not anyone else becuase I'm the one who has to live with the choices i make and that when you get older, your mistakes cost bigger than they would now. I would tell myself to make sure that the college I choose is natinally accredited so that if I would want to transefer schools i could do so easily. I would tell them to start applying for grant and scholarships as soon as possible to get a head start. Go see all the schools I'm looking at and start to narrow down the ones I would want to go to. Then apply to them and once I've been accepted and made my choice i would go and get accustumed to the school. Visit with your new counselors and view your classes and class rooms. I would also suggest joining some clubs and groups ahead of time so you could get to know your new classmates.

Describe the students at your school.
My classmates are very diverse. I absolutely love that about MCTC. I grew up in Iowa and the number of minority students were very small. Now I go to school where multiple languages are spoken and I am able to learn first hand about different cultures as opposed to strictly from a classroom.

What's unique about your campus?
I think that my schools best asset is how well they cater to diverse individuals. They have many campus programs and scholarships that allow anyone to feel welcome and thrive. Being a minority student myself, it's nice to see that other than providing quality education at very affordable prices, I can get involved in many different campus groups and feel like I'm apart of something.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
That you shouldn't be so worried about figuring everything out. College is the time you have to figure out what you want to do with your life. There is no other time like it, so enjoy it while you can. You can work for the rest of your life...but your only in college once.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
Students who are there for the wrong reasons (ie social playtime, financial aid money, not having a clear idea of what they want to do just in school because they think they should be;) and are thus a distraction to those of us who really want to excel at pursuing our education. The second worst thing is some of the staff that is tenured and not fully engaged and passionate about their position facilitating the acquisition of knowledge. And third, being in the middle of Minneapolis, it can attract some unsavory random characters from around the city

What kind of person should not attend this school?
A person who should not attend this school is someone who is expecting a 3rd-rate college experience and who is just "going thru the motions" and "getting their credits cheap." This school may be a community college, but be prepared to be challenged intellectually and with great expectations set on you. This school wants you to succeed and to leave their campus a bright student, and they will discipline their students in this great work.

Describe your favorite campus traditions.
Student and staff diversity. Everyone I've met has come from different backgrounds, are on different educational paths, but are all meeting the same goal - to personally grow and to help develop their community in a positive way. What drew me to MCTC was seeing the pride that students took in their work, knowing that they were on their way to a great, successful career.

Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
Whats unique about this school compared to the other schools i looked at was the ease of the transition from high school into college. It seems almost like 13th grade if I was to describe it. Most of the other schools were so big and a bit intimidating. the school i choose has a very relaxed home feel as if i were still in high school. Also knowing that this school was in an area that made it so convienent to comute to for classes and to travel to work.
