I've been going to middlesex for a while now and in my time there I've only had two professors that I actually liked because they treated their students with respect. Now there is a teacher who is just rude, and manipulative. She accused me of plagiarism because I took one key point from another students post and forgot to cite. Then I know someone else taking the class currently and they got accused of plagiarism as well because their paper was written basically identical to mine, but mind you that individual wrote his whole paper himself with no knowledge on the paper I wrote for this class two semesters ago. It's disgusting how they feel the right to accuse you of something that can get you kicked out of the school. It is disgusting how administration lets this happen, when I was accused of plagiarism I was so mad, but in the end I ended up rewriting my post anyway so that I wouldn't get kicked out of the school I've spent thousands on. But for this professor to be doing the same thing she did to me go other students it's an absolute disgrace and shouldn't be allowed. Especially knowing how big of a deal plagiarism is. I would think twice before enrolling there again for another degree program. read more

Unnecessarily difficult to get assistance from anyone at MC. NJ has a program called ReUp of something like that designed to convince people to get continue their education. So after being emailed off/on about returning to MC, I decide to go for it only to learn my account has been deactivated. How hard can it be to reach the administrator as directed? Responder Dick tells me that I need to be an active student in order to reapply to be a student. So when I clarified that I'm not looking to access the student portal, I'm looking to apply, Responder Dick "reiterates" that he can't advise me of my student status. I know my status. So it went from you can't access the MC portal without being a student, which makes sense if I was trying to access the student portal (but I'm not), to I can't help you login anyway, the admissions dept has to do it. I didn't reach out to Responder Dick, he answered a ticket from an email I sent from the Contact Us page. Wouldn't it make sense to reassign the ticket. I bet you Responder Dick has *his* degree. May as well slide me in there if all we have to do is self assign ourselves help desk tickets and advise we can't help. Awesome job. read more

Hi, My name is Sue and I started my classes back in 12.08.21. Coming to Microsoft World class in April I needed a software to work from home and unfortunately it was not provided the proper software once it was crashing and not having the full capabilities. I called the IT Richard Onyschack the supervisor and he was talking down to me saying that because i was not a full time student and not paying the regular tuition and because of it I was not in the data base. The claimed that they sent me an email with the instructions do have the right Microsoft world software. This is not true because coming to this classes the amount paid was $4.000. He said that he would sent someone an email about it. Today is my last day and i haven't hear from the mentioned supervisor. I called him twice and I felt discrimination because having a accent and being foreign and did not took me serious and the tone of his voice was pretend that his was above me. I still feel very sad and hurt not knowing where to go to solve this issue. incident As a Latin women, minority and American citizen living in this country for 27 years I would like my voice to be heard and not be treated as don't have value or don't belong. Thank you for your time. PS. Sent to the college this reviews and posting in here so changes have to be made. If you go there be ware of the challenges. read more

I enjoy Middlesex County College. Wish I came here first instead of starting off at a 4 year university. I would've saved a lot of money.

The professors are decent, but the cashier/register is filled with a lot of red tape. The academic counselors don't give good advice. When transferring credits, don't expect simple things like you Lab Science to transfer. This place is enough to make you want to jump off a bridge rather than deal with their bullshit, since at least it will be over with quickly. Only go here because it is cheap and get out as fast as possible. read more

This was the worst college I could possibly go to. My issues began even before I attended MCC. They weren't familiar with my visa and my transcript and gave me the hardest time on admission. Staff is always RUDE! ( admission, registrar, financial aid, tutoring) They treat students as if they are stupid because they go to a community college. Tuition is not bad, but the quality of the education I got there is questionable. I was behaved with hatred and disrespect, so I transferred as early as I could. If you have any choices other than this school, you shouldn't give yourself the hard time to go to middlesex county college! read more

MCC is a nice college to study at but as the food goes, it's pretty average. Like always I get an Egg and Cheese, but this time there was something wrong with the egg because it seemed like there was plastic in the sandwich. I take a piece off and it was egg but then lifted the sandwich and saw bad eggs. Both eggs were kinda black and it disgusted me. I mean not even surprised because they overprice for food. Truly grossed out from this experience and won't be eating here anymore. read more

Being a transfer from another college I know what is needed to register for classes and financial aid. This school has made me jump through hoops of fire to get anything done. It's ridiculous. I applied for financial aid in June and oh yeah. I STILL haven't gotten my aid and I'm more than half way through the semester. They "forget" to tell you when you are missing something and assume that you would know. And it's paperwork that other schools don't ever ask for. Just more trouble for you. Only reason I MIGHT stay at this school is because I'm already in the system. But other than that, the teachers aren't the best either. The only reason i'm giving 3 stars is because you can always find parking and its free! read more

Great school, affordable and easy to sign up for. Very well organized when compared to some of the schools I've been too (I'm a perpetual student). Lots of activities for students to participate in and they encourage you to join and they have a lot of resources to help you keep up your grades too. The counselors can be a one stop shop for registering for classes, they're friendly and offer so much support. I love this school! read more

I received my Associate degree from Middlesex and actually chose to go back to get my CADC because they offered that as well. Their selection of courses is great. But every single semester I have attended Middlesex, I have had issues with billing. Every semester. Either they give me money back but then realize they gave me too much so I have to give it back, or they charge me even more after I paid for the semester months before, it is always something. And when you email them about it, everyone gives you the run around. I just caught them in another billing lie, but this time I have proof through email with the Middlesex Cashier that I paid in full, yet they are claiming I owe money. Absolutely ridiculous how these people are paid to handle billing yet they obviously cannot do their jobs. read more

Middlesex County College is a great place to get your associates degree. The professors and all the staff are helpful. They do a really good job of being courteous and professional. The campus grounds are just beautiful. There are lots of benches to sit out side and soak in the sun rays while feeding your brain with knowledge. The Quo Vadis newspaper is one of the best college newspaper I have ever seen. The students are writing articles that should be published in the top newspapers around the country. There talent exceeds novice level their work is on a professional level. If your looking for talent to write for your company check out some of the writers in Quo Vadis newspaper at Middlesex College. The younger student seem to carry themselves well. Being an older student I look at all of them as babies sshhh don't tell them I said that. I have a son older than many of these students. I have respect for them just the same as anyone else in spite of the age difference. I am writing this review mostly to bring the attention to my Journalism Professor ( Melissa Edwards) whom I met at Middlesex college this semester. Thank you for being the friendly, motivating, encouraging, and helpful Professor that you are. Although the semester has just started I connected to your Positive Karma Day One. I am learning valuable information about my writing art form through your tutelage that will give me the tools I need to land a great job. Professor Edwards is also in charge of the school newspaper and decides what articles will be published. Professor Edwards also has a beautiful Children's magazine designed specifically for children wanting to become published writer's, photographer, and artist. Professor Edwards encouraged each student in her Journalism 205 class to attend the meetings for the Quo Vadis newspaper. I sat and listen and thought quietly, "do my ears deceive me" . Professor was encouraging us to come to a meeting for the school paper that I could possible write for" Quickly I thought well I wouldn't have time. There is no time. I realize that the time slot that she had set aside fit into my schedule like a hand in a glove so I went. I had heard and received through dozens of query letters back in the days so many no's that it was really hard to believe that this important person that was standing in front of me in my life for a moment was actually encouraging me to come, share and submit what was even more shocking was right before the meeting ended she asked me with that Professor Edwards smile "you have anything to submit right now". I thought wow I sure wasn't prepared for this one. After becoming so use to hearing no you practically just fall into a routine of expecting to be rejected so I really went to the meeting out of curiosity I am so glad that I made time out of my busy life to attend the news paper meeting. Thank you for valuing my writings, my poems, and publishing my writings in the college news paper for the world to see. Thank you for not closing the door on me like all the rest. I truly honestly never knew that my articles had made the paper even when Professor had mention it to me at the meeting I thought well I will wait to look at what they put in there just in case if there is anything that I don't like I can sulk alone. I didn't bother to look at the paper at the meeting. I could not help shedding tears in class when I opened up the newspaper that the Professor handed out to the class. This time I opened the page up in front of Professor and the other students when I saw my work I got choked up. I felt validated the pride that I have managed to hold onto through it all felt validated. Pro. E you have no idea how big what you have done is especially too me. My work being in the school newspaper has told all those that didn't believe in me that I belong here and that I have a purpose. After dinner my son and I shared our day and I told him about the beautiful wonderful thing that happened to me at school today. I watched my son the love of my life his face lit up as I showed him my articles in the paper. He quickly asked to take the extra copy to school to show all of his teacher's. He was so proud of me. This made my heart pump with joy. I have spent the last twenty years of my life chasing after an opportunity to do what it is I am good at, and more importantly what I was born to do. Thank you Thank you Thank you Professor Edwards. It doesn't get any better than this. You have touched my heart. I will never forget you and will mention you in my acknowledgements in my upcoming book. ps. Professor Edwards and readers please excuse the grammar errors I have an audition in the morning but I thought it was really important to share this day with the world and give a shout out to Pro E. & MCC If your interested in checking out Middlesex County College newspaper you can visit us on facebook.com/quovadisnewsp read more

This college has such a variety of classes that can be taken. The schedule is very flexible which helps because I'm a full time worker, single mom, and go to this college full time. I don't like how far parking is, it's really a hassle especially when coming from work. read more

I honestly had the best experience at MCC. Most of the Professors I had were very good. I graduated and transferred to Rutgers no problem.

MCC is the worst institution I've ever set foot on. The staff are really manipulative for mainly earn your money as their primary motive. The professors are extremely terrible and in my opinion, do not have the upper hand in teaching whatsoever. I had a professor who was ad adjunct in the HCD department, who does not even know a single material of the syllabus and grades improfessionally and bias thus all her tests are very ambiguous. I had to drop the class throughout the semester. I decided to transfer to BCC, in which I can take up to 19 credits easily and without having to break a sweat trying to deal with the faculty or professors. read more

Maria Thanos "Unblinded by the Sun, Professor and Poet Emanuel di Pasquale" All students at college are searching for a new belonging, and sense of ideologies on classes taught by instructors, but who are the competent, multicultural mentors that evoke quality from raw sources, our feeble minds. We come to college with a thirst of gnosis, and are fulfilled by a pathos and logos for education with the influence of some gifted professors, mine being Emanuel di Pasquale. Just this past Monday October 1, 2012 at the bookshop on campus, our teacher had a presentation on Dante's "La Vita Nuova - The New Life" translated by Emanuel di Pasquale & Bruno Alemanni. They vividly explain an epic piece of literature with modern language reading between the lines of what is truly felt of 13th century, especially that of realism in Western literature. His attributes to students and friends sets a foundation of how writing and English ought to be taught. As he teaches in class, a collaborative way, intrinsic motivation allows divergent thoughts to be considered when writing factual and argumentative essays. He helps you with thought provoking with anew inspiration to understand the art of writing. Every heartbeat is a new word on paper, like an arousal of your instincts revealing your inhibitions by writing in color, to dream of what might and might not be. I wonder if its poetic justice, as Emanuel di Pasquale, literally the stimulant of allowing deep thought writing, after controversial topics are critically discussed and outlined in "The Conscious Reader for Eng-122" promotes us, his pupils to see the light as in "The Allegory of the Cave" by Plato. Professor di Pasquale has a unique quality of enlightment amongst the students, which is thought provoking for issues that matter to our presence in the world, and how freedom of speech in cursive or oral is just a form of expression in our mesosphere to allow freedom of assimilation and pluralistic views to be condoned. Unlike a bitter experience of English-121, having left the college scene, was cusped with a real, assiduous intelligent teacher with that of Professor di Pasquale. I hope you shall have the privilege of taking his classes. My blessing in disguise to learn from the best is rather encouraging and his book, "Cartwheel to the Moon" brings you home vividly as the sky is etched with clouds of hope. read more

This post has nothing to do with the college experience itself, but the food it was serving at a kids party, a damn kids party for 5-6 year olds! Utter garbage! Bland alfredo pasta with peas (like a kid would love that!), soggy bbq beef, bland and undercooked chicken wings, and COLD AND TASTELESS pumpkin pie! I took a bite out of each and every one of the foods I listed above and I wanted to throw up, literally! If it made me nearly sick, think about the kids! This isn't even the first time! Cold and undercooked food is almost COMMON at this place! Cold pizza, cold fries, undercooked meats! Sure, there are times where the food is great, but you have to be lucky! It's a 50/50 chance! read more

Worst College I'v ever had to deal with. People are extremely rude and unhelpful over the phone. Transferring from another school to Middlesex was absolute hell. Dont expect any nice or friendly people. read more

Very clean. I like the fact that you can't smoke on campus, it makes it a lot better for those who don't smoke and can't stand the smell. The staff that I've dealt with was very helpful. read more

I enjoyed my experience at MCC and now that I've transferred out I miss it dearly. Most of the professors there are very helpful and will do what they can to help you (only if you're willing to help yourself, of course). read more

I attended Middlesex County College for four semesters (Fall 2013, Spring 2014, Fall 2014, Fall 2015). I decided to take a break from MCC for Spring 2015 to re-evaluate what exactly what I wanted to do, and I ended up changing majors. Now, the first thing I'd like to admit is that I was not a perfect student. I made just about every mistake in the book. What the college did to me, however, was just inexcusable. In my first semester (FA '13), I took Business Organization & Management with Professor Ken Dorflaufer. At the end of the semester, I had a C+ in the course, and that was reflected in the gradebook shown online.Fast forward to the end of summer 2015: I went back to Middlesex to get a new schedule made for the upcoming semester. I went to see the advisor, then went back to the library to pick my schedule. While I was on the computer there, I happened to take a look back at my past grades just to double check what classes from my old major could be used toward my new major. When I went back to Fall 2013, the grade I had gotten in Business Organization had changed from a C+ to an F. I printed out a copy, went back to the advising office and showed them what happened. They said to gather any evidence I had and take it to the dean, so I did just that. Luckily, I'm kind of a file and document hoarder, so I still had an original print of my grades from 2013, along with every test and quiz we got back. I only had one of the article analysis papers we had to do, however. I don't know where I stored the others and they were probably thrown away accidentally. Nevertheless, I made copies of everything I had and handed them in to the dean's secretary to have everything looked over. After a so-called "investigation", I met with the dean (Jeffrey Herron) to discuss his findings. He told me that there was no record of someone changing my grade and that the instructor (who is apparently "either retired or no longer living", according to other sources that work at the school) said that the grade was never supposed to be anything other than an F. It doesn't make any sense, because all of my test grades and homework grades add up to a C+ (see attached pics for details). When I told him this and showed him the papers, he stated that he didn't have to change my grade, because according to college policy, all grade appeals must be filed within one year of the end of the class. Of course, in my case, there would have been no reason for me to file an appeal right after the class ended, because the grade was originally correct, and I don't know at what point the grade actually changed. Needless to say, it was my last semester there. MCC put me through a lot even before this, with many incompetent or rude staff members who didn't seem to care one bit about the students who attend. They aren't all bad, though. Some of my professors were actually very good at what they do, and are genuinely nice people (Francis Burke, Virve Lane, Nicholas Archer and Jayne Kinder, to name a few). It's a shame they had to work at such a terrible school. If you're just starting out looking for a college, do yourself one big favor and stay far away from Middlesex County College! If I can convince even one person to stay away from this school, then this review will have been worth it. TL;DR: Incompetent and rude staff; grade randomly changed from C+ to an F for no apparent reason and dean refuses to fix it. See the original post with scans of my grades on my blog at http://www.nick99nack.com/blog/MCC/ read more

I am a transfer student, almost done with my degree. No one is helpful and there is a large degree of passive aggressive behavior from the staff who are supposed to help. Financial aid is a nightmare, with a ridiculous amount of unnecessary paperwork. I am staying so I can transfer into a 4 year college, and there are better community colleges out there so if you're thinking of MCC, look further. read more

The only reason I am giving this school two stars instead of one is because of the admissions team and financial aid office; both were very helpful and kind. The big issue I had was with the professors. I took two online classes here, because I needed 6 additional liberal arts credits for my NJ teaching certification. The online classes were BAD. First of all the professors NEVER responded to my emails or to questions that I posted in the online discussion boards. I eventually called their office number just to get an answer from them. I took Intro to Philosophy and Intro to Sociology. Sociology was the better class, but that isn't saying much. The professor of the philosophy class was a SUPER hard grader even if I worked hard on the assignments. In addition to this, my grandmother passed away this summer and I emailed the professor IN ADVANCE to let him know that I wouldn't have access to internet for the next couple of days because I would be out of state for my grandmother's funeral and that I would be turning in an assignment one day late. Imagine my surprise when I came back and saw that he ignored my email and gave me a 0 on the assignment... Who knows maybe the other professors at this school are amazing and maybe the in-person classes are a lot better than the online ones, but I am so happy to finally be done with this school for good and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Performing art theater Worst theater administrator and staff ever experienced. I had my daughter's dance recital on May25th at performing art theater. She had been preparing and training for this for last eleven years. After visiting and meeting and clearing everything with everyone on the day of the recital, everything fell through. The stage director who had confirmed the appointment for 10am with the decorator was no where to be found. The decorator waited an hour and a half outside with her crew for someone from union to get there to open the doors. Ultimately they were allowed in, next the dressing rooms were flooded with water, toilet overflowed. Next the stage director despite promising us that he is leaving an educated person from audiovisual in-charge left the place. During the video montage the controller did not know how to operate the screen or focus the images. Everyone watched blurred images on a black screen no lighting and no focus. Of course we were not allowed to touch anything to correct the focus issue, so the montage was a total failure. As soon as the event was over, they told us we have 10 mins to empty the stage and wound up even though the place was rented till 8pm another two hours. The dinning services, a whole another story, the food was ordered for 100 eople, in the middle of serving they started running out of food and replacing with the items that were not used by the guest. On questioning was told I had previously ordered food for 70 people and than changed to 100 last week but the chef only prepared for 70 people, while they still charged me for 100 people. Even before we started serving food to the guest the chef came and asked for payment as it was time to make final payment. How rude I would never ever recommend this place to anyone even in my wildest dream DO NOT EVER DO ANY EVENT AT THE PERFORMING ART CENTER AT MIDDLESEX COUNTY COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recently I have re-enrolled as a student at Middlesex County College. Ultimately I'm planning on leaving with my degree in Nursing. I'm an extremely organized and professional person, and unfortunately Middlesex does not share the same views. Every piece of mail I have received has been unorganized and wrong. I received a "Welcome! please meet with an advisor for registration for February", which also had my OLD major after I changed it, a little less than a week ago (its mid march). My acceptance letter had the wrong semester on it also. I received a voicemail from Middlesex for a different person, as well as one for myself. The absolute worst thing about all of this is the service from the people I speak to. Regardless of my issue and the fault falling upon them, they constantly have such a negative attitude it absolutely infuriates me. I'm having a hard time trusting this place with my education money and time. Its hard to believe the people who are acting utterly unprofessional are going to teach me how to be a professional. If it weren't for the nurses I know who came out of this program as well as the reviews following I would not step foot on this campus from my experience with their service. Say a prayer for me. read more

My wife & I have went to college & graduated with nsg degrees. We both enjoyed our college years and the Professors that became mentors to the both of us. My son has applied to Middlesex college in Edison NJ with his Major being Automotive. The college experience has been sad @ best. Staff treating perspective students disrespectful & like cattle. If I hadn't seen it for myself I probably wound`nt have believed it. Finally they excepted my son`s student government loan papers & had put him in the system. But we recently found out his classes were all dropped. This school has little to no communication, I did speak with some students on campus & not student had disputed the lack of communication. Now we must figure out how to get our son`s classes back, the instructions that were given weren't even close to being correct. Our DTR is attending Brookdale, Brookedale was a pleasure & easy(there staff were & acted Professional)-Thank you Brookedale for keeping our faith in community colleges!!! I`m giving 1 star only because your campus is beautiful(Proves one thing-You can`t judge a book by it`s cover). read more
