The quality of life at this school is awful. You hear at least one person joke about suicide every day. It’s the kind of place where the response to “how’s it going?” Is never positive.
Academically, this school is a joke. Maybe not for engineers or marine transportation majors, but for other majors, it is hard to fail. Teachers overwhelm you with work all semester and keep you in the mindset that you are constantly failing and need to catch up, then scale your grade so everybody passes. If you pass in a paper that’s barely worth an F, you will get a B. While you try to keep up with classes, you will also have to deal with room inspections, personal appearance inspections, nightly check ins, morning formation, and standing watch. They allow you to have a social life, but without drinking or girls.
They teach a lot of life lessons, and make use of their alumni base to ensure excellent job placement and salaries, but during the experience, you will doubt your choice

Going to Massachusetts Maritime Academy is one of the best decisions of my life. No, it was not an easy road to be recognized as a cadet and go through two weeks of boot camp. But it was 100% worth it. This school is not for everyone. It takes a certain type of individual to come here. It hard to go to school here because of the regiment.We believe in three simple things: Discipline, Knowledge and Leadership. Those three words define us as cadets at this school. You will succeed here because of the family you will have in your company, the professors that truly care about you and the squad leaders(you will know what I mean if you come here) that are supporting in everything you do and helping you succeed in academics. Come to THE Massachusetts Maritime Academy, if you are up for the challenge.
First off do not come here for any major that is not a license or engineering degree; unless you love acting like GI Joe in your free time, have excellent financial aid, or enjoy standing in cold weather for 30 minutes every morning. "Easy" Majors such as Emergency Management or MSSEP make little more money than a regular college when they graduate, if not the same. Make no mistake, being at this school really is painful. Surrounded by 90% males, you will most likely not have a shot at one of the desert queens of this school. In addition to no female interaction, your shipmates will consist of hardos who swear to uphold the regiment and think the whole 4 years is a marine corps boot camp. The two-week orientation is horrible. 19 hour long days with kids only a couple years older than you playing god. Come here for a degree worth your time. Don't waste 4 years to make 4k/year more than the kid from UMass.
