At MCC, you get more than you pay for, as a commuter college that is strictly academic, you will find plenty of opportunity for learning. Professors are on average good; some are passionate about what they do, while others probably aren't cut out to teach, though they do weed out poor teachers quickly. Overall, you will learn everything you need to either advance your college career, or enhance your current school. However, as a community college, there is no living on campus, no parties, and no sporting events. Also, student life is somewhat subdued, there are plenty of clubs, if you do want to get involved. It is very affordable, and very safe, since the school has a legitimate police station on campus, the crime rate is as close to zero as it can get, people even hand in cash that they find that people have dropped. Everyone is very friendly, and you really get out of it what you put in. If you're looking for a great community college, then MCC is the place for you!
This school is amazing, with a very diverse community. I always felt welcome when I was there. The staff are amazing and friendly and were willing to help me any time that I needed. I gained so many relationships that I will never forget. Since this was my first experience in college I was very nervous because collleg is very different from high school. But once I started it was great and I gained so much independence and self-confidence. This school is a great start for people who are unsure of which kind of education they wanted and needed a cheaper option for school. It has a very open and accepting environment that makes you feel comfortable to be yourself. The school is also very accommodating to all students needs. The improvement that the needs to make is better service and wifi because there are a lot of areas in the school that I never got any signal which I think can be a safety hazard. But overall it is a wonderfull school.
I absolutely loved MCC. The price, the professors (math and engineering, specifically), the atmosphere, etc. All of it was very high quality at Manchester Community College. The only exception is that the advisors in the registrar are over subscribed to students and cannot give you the priority that you probably want. However, the actual students and professors have the ability to compensate for this issue. All in all, I highly recommend MCC.
