Stephanie - 05/23/2019

Overall great college to attend

Allison - 04/04/2019

It's a small community college that gets the job done. I am in dual credit so I don't have a valid review but a few of my friends and family members go there and think its a great campus. I don't think they have a cafeteria, or sororities (because it's a community college after-all). I know for a fact though that anyone can join their band program and have a gym membership there, even if they aren't a student there.

Desiree - 09/15/2018

College of the Mainland is a great and well-known community college. They have good professors who will work with you, great activities during the week during college hour, and great classes that transfer (depending on University). The staff is very friendly and very helpful. There is not one downside to College of the Mainland that I can think of. College of the Mainland has given me the opportunity to better myself as an individual and I thank them for it.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    The advice I would give myself would be "don't feel rushed to choose what you want to major in," and to "focus, study & always remember you are doing this for YOU." I say this because I went to school straight out of high school. I was urged, by someone really close to me, to continue my education at a trade school. I haven't made use of that degree, because after graduating I realized it didn't make me happy. When I was in school I didn't realize that I had to focus 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. I was a lot younger then and had a lot more on my mind than studying, although I still always received good grades, I regret not having focused a lot more. If I had, I would have showed my true abilities and gotten even better grades. An education is something that will follow you your entire life. It defines you in many ways, and to many people. Most importantly, it helps you find out who you are, which to me, is one of the stepping stones to becoming truly happy in life.
