On a personal note, I have known many fine students who have attended MCC and have attained good jobs, or who have gone on to continue their education at a 4 year college. In addition, MCC has a program where "visiting students" may take classes. This usually will mean a student who is matriculated at a 4 year college may take classes at Middlesex. The credits will then be transferred to their college of origin. This is done during the entire school year, with summer seeing the most "visiting students."

Middlesex County College is truly a well rounded school, in a lovely suburban location, with alot to offer.
Give it a try!
