Macomb Community College

Macomb’s Center Campus is a wonderful place! It may not have all the bells and whistles that the larger colleges have, but I feel at home here. The scenery is comfortable; there are no ridiculously tall hills to climb, there’s a pretty wooded area across from the P building (which looks and smells great in the fall), a cute, little bridge, and plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy the day. The campus is large, but not large enough to get lost. One of the main reasons I enjoy coming here so much is the pleasant atmosphere, the openness.
I didn’t come from a large high school. I graduated a year ago from a Lutheran school with barely 300 students in the entire school. I was terrified to go to college last fall; I thought it would be this big, scary mess of buildings and cold people. But my experiences at Macomb are nothing like I imagined; the people are friendly, the teachers are phenomenal, and the school is just a great place to be. It’s my second year here and I haven’t had a single bad experience. I would recommend this college to anyone.

I graduated from MCC and I enjoyed my experience here. Almost all of the professors were great mentors as I learned a lot to further my education at Oakland University. I wish they had more parking for daytime hours though.

I remember when there was a time you told people you were going to MCC and people went «oh…» Now you tell them and they ask «What are you taking?» «Are you getting your bachelors?». People do not realize that we have one of the best community colleges in the country right here in Macomb. There are so many different programs to choose from, and now with the University Center, you can’t lose!
There are so many different options to take classes it makes it very easy for someone working full time to work on a college degree.

MCC Center Campus is located closer to my home the the HQ in Warren. The Center Campus has a very new modern look and feel to it, there is plenty to do and walk around and sit by fountains, benches, the nature walk, the Student Center, ect. in between classes or after. The new Student Center has a nice cafeteria, an ATM, the Bookstore, Student Clubs, Study groups, a rec room, clean bathrooms, a vending machine, and snacks. The library is vast and offers a great place for groups and people to study. Classrooms are pretty nice, a couple are showing aging, however, they have up-​to-​date technology. The campus and services are very Mac friendly which is great for us Mac users.

Center campus is the larger of the two MCC campuses. It offers nearly all of the same courses that South campus offers, but with so much more one the campus.
One of the most important things on this campus is the Macomb Center for Performing Arts. This theater has hosted many events dealing with anything and everything under the rubric of «performing arts.» I’ve seen an orchestral performance, plays, and other musical acts here. All the school districts in Macomb send their students here from time to time… I remember it really being a treat! It’s a large, gorgeous theater that’s just… comfortable.
The Nursing Center and University Centers are both here. If you’re going to go into the nursing program, then be prepared to make the journey here. The University Center functions exactly like satellite campuses do; most of the universities around will have classes at this center. I’ve taken two or three courses in this way after I transferred to Wayne State, and I had no complaints about the staff or the quality of the classes offered. The professors weren’t isolated to from Wayne, but bounced between the main campus and others.
The University Center is a convenient way to get out of a long commute, bad parking, and all the other things that went along with going to classes in Midtown.
Compared to South Campus, the area reserved for tutors is huge. If you need a tutor, this would be the better choice.
Also, get a map! The campus spans an extremely LARGE area, and you may find it difficult parking on one end and walking to the other; it’s at least a 15 minute walk from one side to the next. All the parking is free! Unless you want to walk…
If you end up having a class or two here, be happy. It’s a great campus!
