It's considerd a top community college in Maryland and ranked 17th nationally among more than 650 community colleges. Lol, rankings of CCs??

Your/your kid's experience at MC?

I don’t get it the “lol.” Can you explain why you find this funny?

Why exactly are community colleges ranked? Can't anyone take a class at these colleges?

Why not point out exellence, strong points, weak points, failures, etc? Then if you apply a score, you get rankings.

That has nothing to do with who gets accepted or gets to take a class.

IKR

How exactly are colleges supposed to game rankings if they can't deny admission to more applicants than other schools do???

What's next? Evaluating student outcomes? Instructional quality?!

Madness

What's the point of ranking community colleges? Is a Montgomery county MD resident going to attend Missoula MT community college (not sure if they even have one) because it's higher ranked than Montgomery College?

Believe it or not MC has tuition rates for both in county students and out of county students, so in fact some students are from outside Montgomery County.

Our county is also surrounded by other counties, a district and near another state!! This may be shocking but there are students who cross county lines to attend community college - just like for 4 year colleges.

There are also adults who take classes for fun and are drawn to high quality education.

Okay.

Consider an independent young adult trying to make ends meet in, say, service industry jobs and taking classes at night to get their AA. Maybe they want to know what CC is the best and relocate to that area to take classes. Or they are moving to X state and use those rankings to help determine exactly where to move to.

Just like families do with rankings of public school systems when determining where they want to move for the sake of their children.

You can’t imagine *any* scenarios where ranking community colleges might be helpful to someone? Maybe look for some ways to get outside your bubble.

Rockville campus has the most students. That comes with some benefits since it offers more choices in classes.

I sense some of the campuses have stronger programs in specific areas, like SS/Takoma might have more programs that are designed to be two years and not the start to a four year program?

Believe it or not, no. Not everyone is eligible to take every class.

I am amazed by the amount and variety of classes offered with highly rated teachers. With the cost of college being so exorbitant, it is not a a bad way to save two years of tuition.

It is super weird that you are trying to make a point that none of us are following OP. Do you think it's funny that MC is excellent? It's not cool or useful to be a snob. Do more productive things with your time.

It is a great school and meets a need. Lots of colleges can't say that.

Get a new hobby bruh.
