Macomb Community College

We attend monthly real estate meetings here with REIA of Macomb and they are held in the John Lewis Student Community Center. The facilities are conveniently located off 12 Mile Rd & Hayes. Plenty of parking although you may have to walk a bit to get here. Various room sizes are available for different group sizes and are well equipped for presentations and discussions. Restrooms are clean and the building is well maintained.

I’m a college graduate who now has a Master’s degree from the University of Michigan and I’ve gone to Macomb Community College for graphics skills classes and was never disappointed. I’m now enrolled for the advanced Photoshop class and looking forward to it.
What I love about Macomb is that the professors are much more interested in helping everyone succeed than making students compete against each other (as they had to do at U of M.)
My nephew came to Macomb a few years ago looking for direction and inspiration and he found both and learned to love learning. He graduated from the University of Colorado after graduating from Macomb. He’ll be pleased to hear that I’m now back at MCC!

This place is a great college. I was a speaker for a class last week and was able to meet many staff members and students. Seemingly everyone I met was nice and friendly. The only problem is the set up. It was difficult to locate where I needed to be once I found the correct building. The classrooms don’t always follow numerical order which I can see being a problem to new students.

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.

I was here to visit the rv show presented by general rv. entrance was free parking was okay.

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.

I attended Macomb from 2003 – 2005 and I loved every minute of it. I attended both the south and center campuses and each has it’s own swagger of sorts. The college is general offers various courses which are on par or even better than what you would get at universities. I took most of my prerequisite courses at south and a few at center.
What I love most about both the school is the small class sizes, quality education, CHEAP TUITION and tons of parking spots !!
The south campus is older in comparison to the center campus and it shows in the aesthetics on the building.
However, in terms of the people, I prefer the south campus. I felt that the people were more laid back and fun loving where as center campus is all about the school work (yea, you don’t want that @school right, lol). The other subjective opinion is that the people at center seem to be more stuck up in comparison to the south.
Overall, this is an AWESOME school and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

I attended MCC south campus from 2001 — 2003, after going to MSU and changing my major, and before going to WSU to finish my BFA. I went through the Graphic and Communication Arts program (now known as Media and Communication Arts). I consider myself extremely lucky to have had the teachers that I did — those at WSU didn’t compare. I got all the skills I needed for a job in graphic design (except I needed that piece of paper that says BFA on it, since I eventually want to be an art director), plus some extras. I ended up getting associate’s degrees in two areas: photography and digital design and layout. I was able to finish both in 2 years, with taking 2 classes the summer of 2002, and having only 1 class from MSU transfer. The program turns out a well-​rounded job candidate proficient in standard design software (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and more) and thoughtful in regards to design theory and process.
The staff in this department is amazing! They truly care about the success of every single current student and alum. They encourage submission of resumes and portfolios for critiquing and even will help with mock interviews. They will write letters of recommendation for students transferring to a university or for employment. Classes are smaller (about 16 – 18 students each) so everyone gets individual attention. The teachers are also working professionals and well known in the community; some are well known and respected nationally. The department head and some other teachers came from CCS, so this program is like getting a CCS education (but much better) for a tiny fraction of the cost.
If you want to break into any of the design fields; graphic design, video, animation, web, etc; this is the best place in the area to start!

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!
