Mass Bay offers a great opportunity to have a university experience before you attend one. The teachers are understanding and ready to mentor students to success. The school facilities are at excellent state and always available to students. Security is a big deal, they care so much about student welfare and encourage many social activities to bring student's together and to enable them be at their best not feeling inferior while in a community college. Once a student need help every staff I have met is at your beck and call making sure you get every amount of help you need. I love Mass Bay.

I had a great experience at MassBay Community College. I found an amazing support group of advisors, had some amazing professors, and participated in MassBay's STEM Mentor Program. If you're a current or prospective student going into STEM, I highly recommend that you participate in the program. It really enriched my perspective towards how my STEM career would look like after college.
