Taell
Massasoit Community College is a pretty basic college with two campuses, the main campus which is in Brockton, and the other in Canton. The food here is pretty good at the Brockton campus but at the other campus Canton the food is horrible and expensive. A nice layout big fields to play and a lot of sports to participate in. Additionally, the professors are decent some truly care for your work and performance in class and others just belittle you and make you seem worthless because they can't teach.
John
Great stepping stone college and affordable. No option for a bachelor's or Me asters degree. The professors are willing to help you make the next step and encourage you to continue to further your education.. I enjoyed my time here and because of the gelfp I received through my mother's death last year. I am ready to move to Bridgewater State to continue on for my BB bachelor's degree!
Jayda
Massasoit was a good first college to start at. I was able to work can do full time school. and I got to make my own schedule. the only thing that was my least favorite was that the program I had was all online .the diversity of classes is vast. there is some interesting like Death and Dying with Dr. Prosphere !
Carine
My opinion is that there are great opportunities and chances to succeed at this college. Amazing people and nice professors who work to bring good information and enough time to complete class work/homework. It is great to hangout with your friends and enjoy the food.
Jason
Massasoit is a great starting point, the professors care and are willing to help you learn, their educational resources are great and the canton campus is a special place to me. The ARC offers very helpful and free tutoring from staff and students alike. On campus jobs like tutoring are available and are a great resource. I have yet to have any professor that i truly despise and my colleagues are just as kind! overall i recommend this college strongly to anyone seeking higher education.
Abigail
Great place to get your gen. eds out of the way for way cheaper! Class sizes are smaller and the curriculum is on the easier side. They have great services like the Writing Center which helps you in every process of writing, Or the ARC which is tutoring for anything you need. They also have Career Counseling and Academic Advising!
Martha
Just as every other school the professors make all the difference. Luckily I was fortunate to be enrolled in classes with professors that genuinely cared about my future and my fellow students. As long as you have the initiative to succeed you will find that they will equip you with all the resources that are needed. And if difficulties are to arouse, office hours are upheld to give students an opportunity for extra help. In addition to this there are other offices such as the tutoring center and advising that can provide assistance. Overall I felt very comfortable at the school because I knew that I was never alone.
Sarah
Great place to be and to learn there too.
Danielle
It is a great school. Like any school you get what you put into it. Everyone here wants to see you do well. They have an amazing tutoring center, that everyone should use if they are struggling in their classes. Classes are offered on the weekend and at different times during the week. The class you need will work into your schedule, not the other way around
Bobbi
Attending MCC was the best decision I could have made to prepare me to transfer to a four year college. This school is super cheap, with many financial aid opportunities for those in need of such services. The teachers at MCC are super friendly and genuinely care about their students. Students are generally very friendly and helpful!
Bertia
Massasoit Community College is a great school to go to if you don't want to go to a huge school. The campus is great and the professors are people that really care. The professors are there because they want you to learn and they want you to learn the right materials.
Andrea
This is a great school if you want save a little money or if you aren't sure what you want to study. This is also a school where people who are trying to get back to learning go. The environment is relaxed, there are not cliques or anything similar. There is always a friendly face to turn to if need be. This is all in all a great school, one that I would recommend to high school seniors to submit an application to.
Jennifer
I began attending Massasoit Community College a semester after I graduated from high school. I found the experience here to be great. The environment was extremely welcoming. The classes were very informative and the Professors were always available to help. After having my daughter I stopped going to school as I needed to work full time to be able to support her. When I was ready to come back, the college again was welcoming and helped make the process super easy. I was able to join a cohort at that time and it enabled me to complete my course work faster. I obtained my degree in 2010. As a single parent, I felt accomplished and was extremely thankful that the college wanted me to succeed.
Melissa
It is an okay school to start off at, but the campus is very small and not for those who want the overall college experience. I am only attending for a semester and I do not plan on staying because it is not what I am looking for, the education is okay and it is good to start off your core classes, the teacher student ratio is perfect for those who struggle in big class room settings, overall it is an okay school.
Anisha
Don't let this place be your one stop shop for an education. Trust me you'll need more.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Your destiny has been a small high school without staff or opportunities for a student like you, one without access or exposure to choices of career and educational opportunities. In your naturally unobtrusive and quiet state , you have not been tugged into the light of opportunities to ponder your strengths, interests, and goals in the framework of your future.
Take the ticket of your wonderful high school education and use it for admission to all the local two- and four-year colleges. They will want you, believe me. Beg, borrow, be boisterous in getting to them all. You will be amazed and in awe of what you will find --- adults whose entire focus is to help you figure out what you're good at and what you like and how you can make a great future out of them, financial resources to get you there, and a helping hand with all the details that get you through the doors of the college of your choice. Learn, learn, and learn some more, then walk into your future and see where it takes you. Enjoy every step. It's all about the trip. (Every choice you make will be the right one.)
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about my school is that a lot of the students there are not there for the right reasons. They go to say that they went to college after high school and because it is cheaper than going to a state college. Most of these same students are the ones receiving financial aid for reasons such as being a single teen parent or never having worked before but the same students will skip, withdraw from classes, or just do not care about doing well in the class. Yet I can't get any money for school.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
I have never really been frustrated at my school. This is my first semester here and there seems to be an increase in the number of students that has decided to attend this year. I guess you can say what frustrates me is when kids come to school and don't take it seriously. I value my education, and would not want my valuable time to be wasted by kids who do not like to show up to class.
Our school is best known for its low cost and easy admission. Even if you did very poorly in high school, you casn go to Massasoit. I think that the low cost is the best part of going to Massasoit Community College.
What I consider the best thing about my school is opportunity. Massasoit community college offers students of all ages the chance to endeavor success. As an institution it is a manageable way to broaden opportunities to allow or guide students in the right direction towards a better future.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
People who just want to go to school for no other reason but to say that they went to college or have nothing better to do should not attend Massasoit or any another school for the matter because it is not fair. Not only would it be a waste of the teachers time, but it would also be a waste of other students time as well as the individual. Students who are serious about school will have a better learning experience without the distractions of apathetic individuals. Plus, it allows more money to be available to others.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
I tell them that the cost is really affordable. They have very high school costs because they choose to go to expensive universities with an undecided major. Whereas at my community college you could take the same classes at a more affordable rate. That is until they decided what they want to major in. Then they could transfer to recieve a higher education.
