Since I enrolled I had the worst experience of my life with all departments. Throughout my time spent (wasted) with MDC, things didn't go from bad to worse, they were the absolute worst from the very beginning and they just continued to be so.
I cannot begin to express the level of frustration and exhaustion that I am at and what MDC has caused me.
The whole entire time I've been a student at MDC, I worked non-stop, for free - doing MDC's job, instead of focusing on studying as I should have - being a student should have been my only concern and focus, not babysitting MDC - which turned put to be my business after enrolling and my only activity as well, day in and day out.
Unfortunately, because nothing works at this institution I had to literally BABYSIT the college the whole entire time.
I would go by in person every other day to address issues and ask questions and try to get help with just about everything that they as a college do not take care of properly and that staff is completely incapable to figure out. Please see how even the most basic things would go down at this place:
eg. getting a ticket to wait in line is big problem for MDC because they close it in the system supposedly by mistake and I would be sitting there hours waiting. By the time I checked with them they didn't have me in the system and I had to get the ticket again. This would happen on a daily basis like is a normal thing! They also decide all of a sudden that they will not attend nobody anymore after I waited in there forever. Whenever I would have to show up in person again I would waste a whole entire day and you can guess I wouldn't get anything done because the staff is terrible and impossible. I have addressed these things whenever I could and nobody cares to do absolutely anything about it. Not to mention MDC has all kinds of students working there(as staff) that have no idea what people are asking them and are in no capacity to help so we the students are wasting our time showing up in person and trying to fix issues. I have been sitting so many times in that lobby waiting and all the advisors were literally alone at their desk doing nothing but they would not attend me still, can you imagine that? And I've been there so many times that no matter how much I would excuse them in my head to justify what was always going on in there, this is just a mad house - things just become very clear at some point because of the patterns that are clearly forming after so many times of witnessing the same things. That place is so rotten from within. This was just a small example to illustrate one aspect of the situation as there is not enough time to expand that much in writing.
Sitting down with MDC staff is another circus. They are reluctant, standoffish, and straight forward would do (actually refuse to do) anything to get rid of you - like every mind game there is. The level of push back you get in there is quite incredible. Simply put they are ironic/sarcastic and they make you feel uncomfortable. No question is welcomed or encouraged. And the absolute worst part is that one has to put up with that and still not get anything done; mind blowing! Needless to say that things keep pilling up unresolved, plenty of questions unanswered, lack of guidance, refusal to assist and absence of customer service/help/empathy, but at the end of the day is simply put - they do not do their jobs - at MDC nobody cares.
When reaching out in writing they do not answer back. Upon insisting, they mislead you on purpose, gaslight and never get back again. It is a full time job having to deal with absolutely everything.
The first semester i didn't have an advisor at all, I couldn't convince anyone to assign me one, although I asked several times and even towards the end they would just say that is normal not to have one, that they will assign at some point someone. When it finally happened, the advisor I was assigned was the most incompetent, terrible person you ll ever meet. All she does is plain gaslighting and refuses to do her job - PERIOD! When I needed help signing up for classes she straight gaslighted me and literally refused to assist me with no matter how many times I asked her to and in how many ways. When I finally got someone (virtually) to help me, that person noticed who my advisor was and brought her over on zoom to talk to me, otherwise she wouldn't have wanted to help me EVER, without someone catching her and pushing her. I need a serious advisor that I can speak to and sort some things out and I reached out and I asked so many people/staff/employees etc from the higher up and nothing was ever done. No matter who is contacted in this institution, the result is the same: nobody cares and I am just wasting my time and my energy over and over again to no avail. Wolfson Campus is beyond disgusting, so I reached out even to other campuses and they said i do not belong to them so I have to try my Campus: Wolfson. You see how you reach read more
