What do you think of the new Malcolm X College building?
The New Malcolm X College, 1900 W. Jackson, Chicago. First day of classes

Lavonte Rodgers
"This great. It has a lot more space, new classrooms, new everything."
Deja Dinwiddie
"I think it's very beautiful, I really like it. I like all the windows that's around, and the bathrooms are really nice. I started in the old building, and I didn't come over the break to view the new building, so I didn't even know it was ready. I'm majoring in nursing."
Khadijah Williams
"I love it. This is my first semester in the new building and my third year at MXC. I am a communication major. I came here to get my general education credits."
Jamari Williams
"I think it's nice and cluttered. There are a lot of lines and people, but the layout is nice. It is better than the old building. I plan to major in business management."
Megan Greenberg
"I like it a lot. This is my first year, so it's kind of confusing, but I'll get the hang of it.
I am majoring in nursing. I came here because friends gave it a good review. They said it would definitely help me with my nursing career at UIC, so I thought I'd give it a try."
Terrance Hooks
"I think it's great. It looks really modern and up to date, much better than the other building. I am majoring in mortuary science."
Victoria Rodriquez
"This is my first year, second semester. It's amazing. I was in the old building last semester and when I came back, I started towards the old building, and I saw people walking in here, and I said, 'Oh, they opened it.' It's amazing."
Desiree Fountain
"This is my second semester and my first semester in the new building. I am really excited about being here!"
