Massachusetts Maritime Academy Reviews
Rating 3.01 out of 5 184 reviews
Massachusetts Maritime Academy has helped me develop a sense of discipline and confidence in myself. Throughout my years at the school, I have been given multiple opportunities to grow and become a better, more confident person. These opportunities include being a sophomore mentor for the freshman, being a petty officer, squad leader, and multiple interview processes in order to get me ready for finding a job come graduation. Massachusetts Maritime Academy has also brought me out of my comfort zone by allowing me to choose an option that may make me uncomfortable and overcome that obstacle. I believe that Massachusetts Maritime Academy has made me a better, stronger, more confident individual.
Some days I wonder why I came here others I love it. The regiment is all a big frat, and honestly it's kinda a fun "brothership through suffering" type situation. Very easy to make friends as we are all going through the same thing. As a second semester sophomore you begin to discover the opportunities this school gives you in terms of job placement. As a licensed major it is very easy to get a job in the ball park of 25$ an hour with housing coverd as the maritime industry is in a severe need of people. The carrier fairs the school hosts are full of employers looking for cadets to work in the summers. We are definitely the bestmaritime academy, only downside to this school is getting adjusted to the rough schedule and having to create your own fun, especially on weekends. Work load is somewhat manageable if you stay motivated which gets hard about 5 weeks in. Expect to pay around 20-30k a year if you are in state and up to 55k out of state (Without aid).Staff ladership here is trash.
Despite its limited degree options, Mass. Maritime excels in providing in depth courses and training to future industry leaders. The teachers care very much for student progress and due to our vast alumni network, will most likely set you up with an employer from your field of study. I had a great experience at Mass. Maritime, if you put in the work and stay open minded to everything this school has to offer then you have the chance of doing very well. Most who hate on the school do so because they wasted their 4 years complaining or getting in trouble instead of applying themselves. This school is a great place to flush out the leaders from the followers.
