I like the campus, and most everyone here is friendly and helpful. I really like my instructors; they always have time for any issues I might have, and are totally invested in my learning. I play intercollegiate sports, so I am really enjoying the athletic vibe here at MVC. Looking forward to a great career here and what my future holds.

Mountain View College is an amazing college that I have been apart of for the last four years. I haven't had any problems, and it is truly the ideal school environment. The professors are great, and so is the staff. There are many facilities available to students such as the welding lab, math tutoring centers, computer lab, the library, etc. I really like the S building, which is a building that contains a subway, the mvc store, testing centers, and nurse's office. On top of everything, Mountain View has a beautiful campus and outdoor area. I enjoy walking in the outdoor areas of MVC because of the nature and even wildlife you can find.

It's a great place for low income students who eventually want to attend a 4 year university. The faculty is really great. And the professors are more than willing to help you in need. If you are an active student you'll have a great time here.

I believe that Mountain View is a good school for someone who is like me, in that they do their schoolwork, attend their classes, and carries on with their day. I was not really involved in many extracurricular activities, but they also do not have many things to participate in unless it is art driven.

I get exactly what I need in this college when it comes to my academics. It's a college for people who want to get things done. It's not so much about having fun and partying. The professors are also very helpful for the most part. Classrooms aren't very large, so that also allows professors to be able to the students.

Mountain view is a great college. I meet so many inspiring people that I will keep as friends for a life time . MVC is always providing things for the students to enjoy which my favorite are the welcome party and spirit week . The teachers wants to see you thrive and leave the school to get a job or a higher education.

When I first got to Mountain View college I was scared because I did not have someone who could guide me over the steps at getting in to Mountain View, and my classes. There were staff who helped me out and made registration easier for me. The class sizes are excellent and the staff is always available for questions or help.

Ever since my first year attending Mountain View, I've had nothing but good things to say about the school. The professors are always available, kind, and willing to help. The students I've met have been friendly and I've even made a few close friends here. All in all, I rate the college a 10/10 or 5 stars. Though my time at the school is nearing its end, Mountain View College is a school I'd recommend to my friends and family to attend.

It’s a good school to start you’re college career at but not if you want to get your doctorate

My overall opinion of Mountain View College is that it's a great college to begin your post-secondary learning. Most graduating seniors or even adults may have anxiety when it comes to the big step of going to college. But, the advisors and staff are there to help every step of the way. They make sure you are knowledgeable regarding the steps you have to take and make you feel comfortable to ask questions. You're treated like a person and not an I.D. number. There are plenty of organizations to be involved with throughout the campus that are constantly helping the community. The professors are great too. They don't mind being contacted by email or by having a meeting if you have questions regarding anything. Although it's a community college, it doesn't lack that college feel. You still get the experience of being in college, but don't have to worry about the big class sizes. I would recommend this college to anyone I knew.

It is a great place to be I cant wait until I star college on the fall of 2019. Something I'm more excited about I to meet new people and start preparing for my future and to be a grate nurse to all the kids with disabilities. I'm also excited to learn about different cultures and activities and sport that the is on campus.

Over all this school is very good you learn alot from the college and you can go to a tutoring for TSI so you can get dual credit class and get hours for it. You learn so much and your professor can help with what you are struggling with and explain it better in a way you can understand.

I moved to Dallas and enrolled in Mountain View maybe four to five months after my high school graduation in 2016. I was 18 at the time. Only thing I knew was I have a new life and I had to start it off right. But sometimes, Starting off right can sometimes go left. By me being a late bloomer, still, I had a lot of growing up to do ever since we moved. Things were so different compared to New Orleans. I graduated, had an ACT score of an 18, and I thought I was good to go to the university of my dreams. That was until I realized university classes cost much more than community college classes. Initially, enrolling in a community college wasn’t even my first choice. So once the summer passed, my family and I started packing to go find better opportunities. Once I enrolled in the winter for Spring semester, I had to take a placement test. Three sections and I failed all three. So much for graduating before 2020 I’d say. Didn’t realize how serious the test was until after the fact. Then, I was taking at least three developmental courses that I thankfully passed out of the end of Spring semester. Fast forward to this year with with only three months left, and I’m now in regular college classes. In the beginning, I didn’t know a soul that could help me with enrollment and I was already dealing getting my high school transcripts that I had to wait for the past a month and a half for. I guess you could say I had it hard, but I got the hang of everything as semesters went by I guess. Since my cloudy thunderstorms went away, I’m way past doing fine. I’m great. I remember taking the bus to go talk to both my academic and financial adviser, and walking around asking for directions to the office in the campus building on a blazing, hot day to just get inside were the cool air was. Soon as I was able to get inside, there were people offering to help me with everything that I needed to know. As for all the teachers that I’ve experienced, they never left my side. Cafeteria food is great if you like spending money on Subway everyday to buy a footlong. The only one true best friend I have on campus to this day is the campus bookstore. Never have I ever seen so many delicious snacks, brand new textbooks, and school supplies all in one place. You can even make orders online too. School events are cool when there’s free food - unlimited free food that is. Staff members are completely nice and thorough with you if you show up with the right attitude. I don’t that much about the sports, but I haven’t heard one winning streak since the day I started my attendance. There’s a great fitness center that’s open regularly Monday through Sunday and every vending machine everywhere you go as soon as you leave. Overall, it's an amazing college. I couldn’t ask for anything better.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Taylor, you know that you like to socialize and have a good time. Schedule your classes late so that if you do go out at night and come home late you're not haveing to worry about rushing to class or missing the next morning. Ask for help. Don't sit in the back of the classroom and staying quiet if you're confused about something that's being taught. You're in school to learn so don't be afraid to ask questions. Finally don't allow friends and relationships cloud your judgement or distract you from getting your work done. Work now play later.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
Mountain View is a small junior college which has gained in popularity since its commercial advertisment that when I had gone to enroll, it was pact with so many new faces.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
When I think of the worst thing about Mountain View College, the only thing that comes to mind is trying to find classrooms. It can get confusing at times. On the first day of school, my first class was in room 165 and my second class was in room 168. Now that sounds like it should be easy to find, but it wasn't. To the right of the class and around the corner was room 171. I'm thinking 168 would be in between those two classrooms. Oh no, room 168 was to the left of 165.
If you think that you may be overwhelmed by everything that goes on at University (living with strangers, the amoung of people on campus, the large classes etc.) then a community college is better. Also if you can't afford to go to a University right away then a community college is also a good place to go. It's literally a mini- univeristy with the exception of living on campus. You get to be at home, there aren't as many students, the classes are smaller and it's a lot cheaper.
The best thing about my school, other than the professors, is all of the resources that are available. The career services center is a big help, especially for students who are sure which path they should take when it comes to their future, like me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to be a forensic scientist or a pediatircian. With the help of career services, I was given a career assesment test that let me know I should be a pediatrician. The crazy thing is, I haven't thought about being one since I was a kid.
Mountain View is best known for but I do know that it is a stepping stone for transfering to a 4 year degree to a univeristy from a high schools point of view. As I learned from oreintation, Mountain View has a positive inpact in the surrounding hispanic community.I have seen contruction on the school campus such as a track like trail which has encouraged communities to become more active.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
The type of person that should not attend this school is one that does not take there education seriously. The campus is great, and so far my professors have been great. They are eager to help us succeed in our school education. So a student who does not do there work, is not willing to try, and has other prioreties that hinder there academic performance should not attend this school.
