Out of all the places I have ever attended, nothing feels like a second home than MCC-Penn Valley. The environment is super inclusive and accepting. Teachers are willing work with you and spend extra time on things you do not understand. Staff go above and beyond to make sure you are doing good. Just stay proactive and you will be good!

The campus is not safe for young females. The parking garage is not protected. Why doesn't MCC spend some of the money protecting their students?

Nursing program: absolute dogwater bro. Go somewhere else, for the love of God. It may be more expensive, but at least you'll get a way better education, and the money you spent wont be completely wasted. Driving downtown is the least of your worries. I'd rather be chloroformed and beaten than go through any part of this program again. 0/10.

Be careful when filling out your applications. They ask you once if you live in-district, then place another ambiguous question after it that asks the same and if you answer that question wrong, they will charge you double as an out of district student. My second semester they have with held my loans for the first two months of school so I can't bu

There needs to be more security, and better parking for the students. Not everyone gets their school free.

Spooky school, need more protection, security.

Go at your own risk, never know when a fight will break out and the police have to come. The teachers aren't too bad, most of all MCC in general is a pretty bad school at all campuses, many of the teachers do not seem fair. I would suggest you save your money and go to a good college if you don't get financial aid.

Terrible school. Terrible customer service. Hours not at all accommodating for people who work during the day.
Overall 1.7
This school is in the worst part of town and almost all of the teachers you cant even understand. When you go to one office and ask a question they tell you one thing but go to another office and its a different story. The school is to crowded and alot of the teachers are very rude along with students. The school jerks you around all the time.

Penn Valley is MCC's worst location! Good instructors are scarce & the staff is worse! Don't bother with the enrollment center just call the main# if needed. Also, I've been told 2 different semesters that they couldn't buy my books back because they weren't using them anymore, total lie! The exact books were being used the following semesters.

Not a proffessional place for mature students. Its a waste of time and money!!! Just a hang out for people who dont have anything to do. the staff is very unproffessional and rude.
