A fabulous county in Pennsylvania. One of the richest, and part of the Delaware Valley, less commonly known as the Philadelphia metro area. Montgomery, likes its nearby sister Bucks, is both rural and suburban with many similar characteristics. Its biggest claim to fame is that it is the only county in the state of PA with the greatest amount of retail. Yeah it beats out Pittsburgh, big time. Have you ever heard of King of Prussia? It is the largest mall in the country based on actual retail space. The Mall of America is only larger since it has an amusement park. And the Philadelphia Premium Outlets are just up the road. Suburban Square, the oldest outdoor shopping center in the country is found in Ardmore, along the ritzy Main Line. But shopping isn't the only notable thing about Montgomery. It has acres of open space, and the vast Green Lane Reservoir Park up north in the Upper Perkiomen Valley. Not to mention the fact that Montco (its abbreviation by locals) is one of the fastest growing counties in PA. Plus its got heavily-rooted German heritage, as noted in the towns of Schwenksville, Lederach and Souderton. The only drawbacks might be the oppressive congestion on Rt. 422 and extensive suburban sprawl. But who cares! Montgomery County has it all!
Those who live in Montgomery County are blessed with some of the best shopping in the U.S. and a stellar quality of life.

A county in Maryland that is located towards the northern border of DC. Areas such as Potomac, Damascus, Olney, Chevy Chase and Bethesda are very affluent. Areas like Rockville, Germantown, Gaithersburg, Kensington, Wheaton and Silver Spring descend in such wealth in that order. Montgomery County is very liberal and is known to have one of the best school systems in the United States. Montgomery county has a lot of power, wealth, diversity, drugs, and alcohol.

usually rich upper class families make up this sophisticated part of maryland... some lower class parts are included, but only to keep it "diverse." schools such as whitman, churchill, and WJ are prime examples of the type of people in moco.

Montgomery County Community College, located in Montgomery County Maryland with campuses in Rockville, Germantown and Silver Spring. The "college" claims to have a mission statement of endless opportunities. But like most community colleges the "college" is designed to suck money out of their students by forcing them to take classes that are non credit bearing. The school will make you take an accuplacer exam that is almost impossible pass with a high score to be able to place in college level courses. The test is claimed to express what reading and math level your on but in return most scores will come back to "prove" you are not a on college reading and/or math level. Even if you make the claim to your counselor that you were in Honors English or Calculus in high school they will go back to your scores claiming they are too low and your dumb. The college mainly craters to University rejects of Montgomery County. But also caters to others slums of neighboring counties such as Fredrick, PG County and others in southern maryland. Even though mostly all the people that go to MC (most commonly referred) come from low income housing and are all on some sort of financial aid the administration still enforces these perquisite classes that mostly teach you basic information most commonly taught in middle schools and elementary schools with a cost.

MC Kid: I go to school at Montgomery County Community College.

A county in Maryland that has towns that are small to medium sized but wealthy to say the least, here there are some the richest cities in America such as Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac, Poolesville, etc. I think just a drive or walk around the place should let you know what kind of place it is, the high school parking lots are full of BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Lexus and Porsche. In all of the towns you'll find a ton of "soccer moms" which frequent Starbucks, Whole Foods and Kohl's, not to mention there's a Starbucks on every intersection here, heck there is even one right in front of my house. The average dad drives a fancy car and where's polo's everyday and the kids are enrolled in Private or Charter schools. The schools here are some of the best in the nation with High Schools such as Wootton, WJ, Winston Churchill and RM, there are also private schools like Landon or Holton-Arms.
He owns a BMW lives in a 1M dollar home and got accepted to all Ivy League's he definitely lives in Montgomery County.
