Did CIS, Professor Riggs by far the best teacher I've had. Great school that allowed me to grow as a person, have fun while at school, and establish were I wanted to be in life.
Since this is a review and a bit ciritcal I'll say this. The student counclers that help you choose classes, establish graduation requirements, and in general help you need to be taken with a grain of salt. There are tons of people that are totally helpful in the department but there are also lazy dumb people who don't know what they are talking about so try to learn how to organize and manage school yourself like picking classes and knowing your degrees graduation path.
Speak to the assistant Deen when necessary on important matters. If there are any issues involving a teacher and student let them know to give guidence. Or help you when your stuck with a graduation requirement.
I cannot stress this matter but, TAKE PART IN THE CLUBS!
No more space to write but good luck everyone

I am enrolled in the Interior Design certificate program. I am finishing up my first semester.
Going back to school, after having graduated from college 45 years ago, has been an unparalleled event for me. It has been quite a challenge since my classes are remote. However, Mass Bay has been there every step of the way. Everyone, and I mean everyone, at the school is there to provide support and guidance. Their mission is to see that each and every student succeeds, from the president to the advisors to the professors. You’re in good hands here!

My experience at Massbay so far is a pleasurable experience except for a couple of reasons. What I like about Massbay is that they offer a co-op experience in my auto-tech degree program that allows a student who loves working on cars to gain real world experience as well as make money that can be saved to pay off their education. Students always come back to class smarter and more professional after their two-three month co-op experience. The teaching styles of the automotive instructors are very effective. They do an amazing job discussing about how a system works and helping out in the shop on how it works in the car so the student can make the connection of what they learned in class. Besides this, the academic side isn't the best. I've had a couple instructors show up late on a constant basis and don't stick to their own syllabus'. Besides this, the school is a wonderful place!
