Flag Review - Rating:
- Pretty good cc, I'm pretty happy with my decision to go to EMCC. The other students here are pretty serious with their work and not too many ghetto people. My profs have office hours and have all been pretty helpful. I would say the only thing that's a bit of a problem is getting into classes, but if you are persistent they will add you in.
