Review of Manchester Community College

from Colchester, CT

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The professors at Manchester Community College are great. Many of the professors that I've had for general education classes and for specific social services classes are extremely informative, organized, and all around great professors.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Since it is a community college, there are many people coming and going all the time. It is hard to meet other students and maintain new friendships since schedules change every semester. Other campus' have student centers or buildings just for commuters to feel welcome. Well MCC is an entire commuter campus, some days it's hard just to find a parking space, let alone a table to study at.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

After I used 2 scholarships after high school, I paid for MCC on my own as a part/full time employee of a small grocery store. Anyone can pay for MCC's tuition as long as they can budget their money and apply for financial aid.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

For prospective students: Just because MCC is a community college does not mean it is easier than any other university. Come to class prepared and expect to work. Show up early to find a parking place and at least bring a piece of paper and a pencil. Community college is not easier just because it is a community college. Take your higher education seriously.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Manchester Community College is great for any type of student. Students who are looking to save money early on in their college career will appreciate MCC the most. MCC gives you a university education, without the large university cost.
