Senior: I vividly remember the first day I stepped onto the bustling campus of the University of Massachusetts Lowell, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation. The sprawling greens and the modern, yet welcoming architecture immediately caught my eye, symbolizing a blend of tradition and innovation. I immersed myself in diverse and challenging courses, each lecture sparking new ideas and perspectives, constantly expanding my intellectual horizons. The faculty, always approachable and knowledgeable, played a crucial role in shaping my academic journey, guiding me with patience and expertise.

Alum: I was a dual enrollment student at MCC for almost three years. I studied only virtually for my degree. It was a great experience. The staff and faculty in general were super helpful and supportive of the students. Something that could be improved is with the online classes, there’s really not much chance to get engaged with the MCC community. It’s hard to hear about new events and activities going on unless you somehow have a very close relationship with your professor. If you do happen to hear about events , programs, etc and get involved in other activities, it’s a very great learning experience and a chance to build your network. So my only suggestion for future students is if you do happen to take online courses, make sure you constantly ask classmates and professors about different opportunities available that you may be interested in. Getting involved in extracurricular activities really enhances your experience at MCC!... Read 453 reviews

Sophomore: I got housing my freshmen and sophomore year and were right next to the school like 5 mins away so commuting is really easy, the classes that make up massart are studio classes (5hrs) and liberal art classes (2:45-3 hrs) they may be long but I’m enjoying myself I like the community in the college. We have serval clubs and events that are super fun to check into, Massart is an Art college so we have our first year dedicated to learning different art forms and then our 3 other years to our major, I like my major a lot so I enjoy school I also made a lot of friends here so I would say I’m pretty content with what I have!...

Senior: I really enjoyed my time at Salem State University! The campus is very accessible and there are many convenient parks, beaches and stores within walking distance. I am personally a huge fan of Halloween, making Salem, MA the perfect location for me! It was amazing being able to walk downtown in the Halloween capital of the world during the month of October.

Junior: Lesley University is very popular, qualified instution in terms of art and psychology. The education which exists at the university is intented for develop student's artistic skills, psychological terms, practises and theories. Student can improve and enrich their views against how psychology and art connected each other. I like to much that the instutions's philosophy, approach to students, enviromental conditions, supportive attitude. I waould like to see change that connection between university where exist at other country's and Lesley University. I will see more interdisiplinary point of view and extensive works related to expressive art therapy.... Read 577 reviews
