While I have not personally been on a tour of the Mt. SAC campus, I know many individuals that have attended the school and expressed with me their feeling for how the school is very professional and very well kept. They say that there are a lot of opportunites and classes for them to attend in varying categories, such as science, math, English, etc. I can

Mt. SAC is an incredible 2-year college with amazing facilities, staff, and people. It is more of a commuter school. Most of the professors I have had have been incredibly caring and supportive. The campus is growing into a more modern school with all new athletic facilities as well as new classrooms and a new student center; some may say our facilities are nicer than those at a 4-year or private school.

Mount San Antonio College is an overall great school with many opportunities. The school campus is well maintained and consists of an equestrian, planetarium, horticulture greenhouse, and on-site child care center. Additional student resources are available and readily accessible.

Overall great college. It has a lot of new facilities. The professors are helpful and want you to succeed. There are a lot of opportunities to take different classes that you might be interested in. You also get to meet new people inside of your classes.

I think the school overall is very sheltered and many people walk around with a stick up their bum. Many people are also very entitled but the professors want to actually help the students here. I also think the extracurricular events outside of classes are very useful and very fun for people trying to make friends.
Yoselin
I love this college and the staff and students spirits there! Always very friendly and helpful staff and students! Every time I need help from professors they are easy to find and fast to respond to any questions or concerns I may have. This is a great school I would totally recommend to anyone!
Dallys
It's been a great campus. There are professors from all walks of life and they all seem to truly enjoy what they do. They are accessible and hold regular office hours and will stay after class if needed.
The students also come together and help each other in and outside of class.

I've been taking classes here for 2 years now. I am in the special admit program and I honestly really enjoy the opportunities that are offered to students. Its very nice to have a college option in a good area. The professors are pretty nice just depends on who you choose, always make sure to check rate my professor first.

My San Antonio College is a great school as there are a numerous amount of resources available to the students. It’s a big beautiful campus that is constantly renovating and trying to improve in all areas. I am a student athlete at Mt. Sac and although it is tough to get classes due to high demand, athletes get priority which makes it much easier to get into a class. Chooses Mt. Sac has been the best decision I have ever made.

Mt. San Antonio College is a great community college, the campus is beautiful. The moment you step foot on campus you feel welcomed and safe. People are friendly, the food is great, conversations are intellectual. Very great college. The professors are very active in student life and up to date on today’s world to bring important discussions into the classroom.

This is my first year at Mt. San Antonio and the campus was very welcoming . Students are happy to help , kind and caring. I was even able to make friends fairly quickly due to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall I like the school, however I wish there was a bigger variety to the food at school.
Rose
Small school, super packed driving on the first week of school, but seems like students start leaving by the week. Winter and summer classes are suggested to take because no one takes them, but sign up for classes on the date, because classes will be FILLED. Great variety of classes.

Mt San Antonio College is honestly underrated, people don't talk very highly about this school but it does so much in providing for the students. The professors I took have gone above and beyond to help me achieve my goals and become a better student. The environment is really nice and everything is welcoming, I love my school.
Angel
I have a positive opinion of Mt San Antonio College. I've heard great things about Mt San Antonio from friends and family and many have recommended I apply. I've seen San Antonio and I think it's a great place for me to pursue my education. Mt San Antonio College is my first choice for community college.
Danni
My first impression and what grounded my safety within the campus was its diversity between student and faculty. no matter where I turned when I was lost there was always someone there to help me, and the clubs and organizations were never secluded to a certain group or students it was open to anyone looking to learn or who just needed support; sometimes there could be a student who was in three different clubs and had an on campus job with no hassle. Within my first year I found my group of friends who are also my support system and I am apart of theirs, the family mentality and positivity can be felt throughout the campus. And as for the Professors you can tell that they're passionate about their works and how they teach it. Never have I ever been so challenged yet astonished about what I've learned from here. Lastly the overall safety of the students is top priority, there is always campus police or staff whos job is to help those in need weather it's being escorted to your car after a long day of classes after dark and your car seems pretty far, or to generous cart rides from staff helping the lost students to their classes. this campus has taught me to open up to what's around me and how to reach out for the support I need.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
As a senior I always wanted to attend a 4 year college instead of a community college. But now that I have experienced a 2 year college, I feel that it has helped me tremendously in the transition process. If I could go back, I would strongly suggest attending a two year college first and later transferring. This will still give you the college experience without feeling overwhelmed with the pressures of a four year such as moving away from home and living in a new environment. Plus, it will save you a great deal of money which can be invested in other things and you won't have as many student loans to pay off in the future.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
Mt. San Antonio College has a vast diversity of students not only economically but also culturally. It is a starting point for many students to learn what they want to be in life, where the faculty will go above and beyond to help you meet your educational goals.
Mt Sac is always growing and changing it changes for the better and helps its students to achieve there goals and help understand the road they need to aquire those paths.
Anyone should attend this school. It is useful for an associate's degree or just a cheaper means of attaining the first two years of education of a bachelor degree.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
My school offers great opportunities. For example, there is the EOPS program that helps students with families of low income. Not only does EOPS offer this opportunity to low income family students, but students of first college generation are welcome to join. Also, this program helps you financially and offers tutoring and great counselor advice. This specific program helps you get through college and achieve your goals. Thanks to Mt. San Antonio College programs many students are able to achieve their goals.
To the best of my knowledge Mount San Antonio is best known for is their transfer program. I want to say that mostly every student goes to Mt. SAC to do their general education and then transfers to a Cal State or University.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
At Mt. SAC, class registration is probably the most difficult thing. Because we're such a large school, classes fill up quickly! However there are several ways around this, and many of them are painless. If you play a sport, playing for one of the teams will get you priority registration. Running for a student government position is also helpful. Other ways of receiving priority are through - having a documented disability, participating in EOPS, joining one of the several music ensembles (some of which require no musical background!), or seniority (meaning you have over 40 units!).
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
Before coming to Mt. SAC I wish I would have been aware of how truly encouraging and helpful all the staff is. From administration to professors I have yet to meet someone hesitant to answer a question or offer some advice for my future career goals. Had I of known about these accommodations I doubt I would have waited so long to return to college.
What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
The stereotype at Mt.SAC is that students that come here are "dumb" or "stupid" people that could not get into any public or private schools from high school. This stereotype could not be anymore wrong. Many students that I have met got into schools such as University of Southern California, University of California, Riverside and Pepperdine University. The primary reason why they come to Mt.SAC is that it is much cheaper. These students either did not qualify for enough scholarships or their parents could not afford to pay for their housing, food, or tuition.
Mostly great teachers Clubs are great but can be more involved the Counselors are a great quality to talk to but the Dean of the school doesn't seem to be much involved nor have I ever seen him. The Hospitality major I'm looking for offers excellent classes.
