Review of Mount Wachusett Community College

from Gardner, MA

Describe your college in three sentences.

A great stepping stone that will help you achieve what you thought you never could before. Working around your own schedule and busy life at this college is definitely possible. MWCC will do whatever it takes to help you succeed and is with you every step of the way!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure you follow up with your professor and get any extra help you need because they will always want to help you. They have free tutoring everyday in their library, so their should be no reason to fail! Take summer courses there! They are fun, laid back, and will get you those extra credits you need for graduation. Take night classes, I take them now and there really focused on helping you, class size is smaller, the people are more mature who actually want to learn and a lot of the night classes are only one day a week so they can fit in with your busy life!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The academics really challenge you and go with your own pace so you do not feel overwhelmed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

no dorm life

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food their is great and fresh all day and so much to choose from all the time!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

They have clubs, movies, dances, a lot of stuff.

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

Going to MWCC is a great idea for even high school students who want college credits early. I decided to take a college course in my senior year and loved it so much that I kept taking them and when I started in the fall, I already had nine college credits so it was a really good jump start for me and made me feel really accomplished in such a short amount of time! It was one of the best choices I ever made so far in my early adulthood.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

They have a day care center for young moms who want to take classes and they always have stuff going on for the kids. It really seems to help these young women out a lot.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

They have a lot of clubs to choose from but I personally do not have the time in my life right now to do any. They are always having activities going on for every club it seems though.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I've never had a problem with the safety there and the campus police are always on the alert for everything. They seem to be doing there job well.
