Student Life
Students maintain a regular newspaper, The Monroe Doctrine, which includes both a bi-weekly print version and an online version which can be accessed at . The radio station (closed circuit/web feed only) is also student operated and there are 57 student clubs and organizations for students to participate in.
The Student Association, of which all currently enrolled student life fee-paying students are members, is governed by the Brighton Campus Student Government Association (SGA) and the Damon Campus Student Events and Governance Association (SEGA). These governing bodies promote the general welfare of the student body, provide programs of educational value to the college community and promote, within the college, a spirit of harmony among students, administration, staff and faculty. These two governing bodies work closely together to actively engage students from both campuses in the life of MCC.
The Campus Activities Board (CAB) is the events organization at MCC. The CAB sponsors on-campus activities such as Freestyle Fridays, Fall Fest and Spring Fling. CAB also brings in Guest Speakers to present on various current issues facing students.
MCC offers smart classrooms, interactive videoconferencing capabilities, eight electronic learning centers (the largest of which has 100+ workstations), the Warshof Conference Center (open to the public), dental and massage therapy clinics, fitness and dance studios, a new synthetic turf field, and a variety of dining and restaurant options on campus. Brighton Campus is one of the few college campuses that is nearly completely enclosed. The Brighton Campus, along with the Applied Technologies Center on West Henrietta Road, is completely wireless; while most of the Damon City Campus is equipped with 'hotspots.' In 2008, a 56,000 sq ft (5,200 m2). athletics facility – the PAC Center – was added to the Brighton Campus.
Unlike most U.S. community colleges, MCC provides residence halls for on-campus living. In 2003, the Alice Holloway Young Residence Halls opened on the Brighton Campus. Today, four more buildings have been added: Alexander Hall, Canal Hall, Pioneer Hall, and Tribune Hall. Each housing facility is equipped with modern technology services and has a strong sense of community.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
