Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Reviews
Rating 3.15 out of 5 501 reviews
I like how this college offers many activities and classes for my major. For example i'm very interested in Astronomy/Astrophysics and the physics department offers an Astronomy course for the second semester that i'm interested in taking. I also like how the college is small so i can get to know and have a connection with my professors!
A life-changing experience that made me actually want to do well in school and be a better person. Before MCLA, I was losing interest in school, but I immediately fell in love with learning all over again during my first semester. I am now the vice president of two clubs on campus and am working in the campus's Gender and Sexuality Center where we host student engagement and educational events. I am allowed to grow and become the person I have always wanted because of MCLA.
So far I love the experience! From the day I applied, everyone I spoke to was so kind and none of it was overbearing. Honestly the only thing I think I'd like to see change is a bigger focus on transfer and/or commuter students. I am both and felt like it was largely freshman-oriented, especially at the beginning of my first year. (I understand that, I just don't know why I was obligated to participate in informational activities I already knew about).
