WHAT I LIKED

Being from Merced, I enjoyed having a little bit more time after high school to figure things out and be able to choose my major with more information. I liked that I could save a some money on tuition rather than having to pay a lot for tuition right off the bat.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

Besides in class, there is not a whole lot of social life.

3.0

WHAT I LIKED

To be honest attending Merced College and my education experience are quite well. I enjoy how the campus offers to tutor the students that have difficulty with their classes and professors having office hours.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

Something I didn’t like about Merced College is not being able to take a class because it’s not available or they’re not teaching it.

WHAT I LIKED

Merced College has so many resources available it's almost hard to go bad! It's easy to set up appointments and there's almost always availability. The staff is so kind I appreciate them so much.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

There wasn't much I disliked except for the food on the Los Banos campus is not good/some of it is expired.
