QUORA J Let me tell you—Medgar Evers College is a hidden gem that deserves way more credit than it gets. If you’re looking for a school that actually invests in its students, provides countless opportunities, and fosters a strong community, MEC is where it’s at.
First off, the professors who care, REALLY care. Shoutout to Professor G. McMillan, Professor X. Rose, and Professor A. Okereke; they don’t play about making sure students get the knowledge and put in the work. The coursework? Challenging but rewarding. If you apply yourself, you’ll walk away sharper, more prepared, and ready to take on the world.
Now, let’s talk about campus life, because MEC does not let students just come and go without offering experiences that make college worthwhile. The activities? Endless. Whether you’re into sports, Greek life, leadership programs, or student organizations, there’s a space for you to grow and thrive.
And let’s not forget the trips. I’m talking about all-expenses-paid, knowledge-packed, fun-filled trips, both in and out of state, where you get to learn, connect, and explore in a new setting. And if you’re a foodie? The school is always throwing down with brunches, luncheons, dinners, and breakfasts that give students a chance to network while enjoying a good meal.
The resources are consistently on point, both on and off-campus. Need financial assistance? There are scholarships and programs constantly being offered and awarded. Need motivation? MEC brings in influential Black leaders from high and low places to drop gems in powerful lectures. Need a community that respects and acknowledges your values and beliefs? MEC has that, too.
And when it comes to big events and functions? MEC knows how to plan and execute for the benefit of its students. Whether it’s professional networking, academic enrichment, or just a celebration of culture and achievement, they show up and show out.
Now, no school is perfect so some departments can be a little unorganized and some staff might make things more difficult than they need to be. BUT, there are many who step up, correct mistakes, and do their best to guide students in the right direction. The dedication from those individuals makes a huge difference.
Final verdict? MEC is more than just a school, it’s a whole experience. If you take advantage of everything it has to offer, you’ll walk away with more than just a degree. You’ll walk away with knowledge, connections, experiences, and a stronger version of yourself.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend.
