Morgan Community College

I visited Morgan CC over the summer for a free Photoshop seminar. I was very impressed with this place! It has a smallish but lush campus, there were plenty of people around even though it was the middle of summer, and all the office staff I encountered were super nice. There is a wonderful student lounge that has a TV and free refreshments of coffee and popcorn. It’s also really nice to eat lunch outside on the grass.
Jessica Edington taught the one-​credit Photoshop class that we came here for, and it was an incredibly good time. She is a real gem of a person and a fantastic asset to the college. She went above and beyond, obtaining funding for the class so that we were able to attend and come away with a unit of college credit for free! More importantly, we learned a lot and had a great time doing it. Seriously. I have taken a few classes with her now (some online), and she is literally the best professor I’ve had during two years of being in CCCS. If you have an opportunity to take a Jessica class, you really should.

I really like the school. They provide good classes both at the school and online. The online classes even have science classes with labs available which a lot of schools do not offer. It has worked out great for me because otherwise I would be driving an hour one way just to get to classes every day.
The caveat is… do NOT purchase books from the Morgan Community College Bookstore. You will find out why first hand eventually if you do it. Their prices are apparently subject to change AFTER the order is placed. It took nearly a month to get my books and then only because I called and complained that my classes were starting in three days and I still had not received the books I had ordered from them.
Well, I got my books. My order total was $ 112 at the order checkout, which I put my Visa card in to pay for. What was I actually billed when the books finally arrived? $ 277. Yep. You read that right. I actually got into an argument with the apparent manager of the bookstore about the legality of that. She also apparently thinks things are illegal only if they know about them because they are not actually trying to do anything illegal.
The bottom line is, when a student checks out of a store, whether it is a book store or Walmart, they expect to pay the amount on the receipt/​billing. I gave them my credit card number in good faith and they did what they wanted after the order was placed.
I sent the materials back and dropped the class. I will self teach and test out of the course. Or maybe take it somewhere else.
Buy from Amazon if you possibly can. The manager at the bookstore said she did not care if I went online and reviewed them here and on Amazon where I got the main text from. She also did not care if I let the college know. And she also did not give a hoot if I dropped the class and sent the books back. Way to round up business for your school and store. Nice job.
