Quinsigamond Community College — Attraction in Worcester

I would absolutely advise anyone with other options to seek a valuable education elsewhere. It’s concerning that a college can operate this dysfunctionally without any repercussions, and it’s a shame the stress they put on their students. Financial aid, business, and administrative staff are, more often than not, rude and dismissive. Treating people like they're ignorant and don't understand how things work. School recently raised prices, and my child wasn’t notified until just shy of six weeks before the program started, even after they had already made arrangements to return to Worcester. Financial aid has been a hot mess three years in a row. Not sure how they are the only school that never has anything done on time. Students completed every checklist well before deadlines, only to be told that aid may or may not process in time, meaning she would be responsible for thousands in fees if it didn’t come through. On top of that, payment plans close well before aid is processed, leaving students stuck with no options. Facilities are equally disappointing. Parking lots are full of crater-sized potholes (good luck in the winter), bathrooms are frequently out of order, and nothing ever seems to get repaired—yet tuition keeps going up. Their accommodations for students who need support are also troubling, showing a lack of care for accessibility. At its best, this school feels like a community college pretending to be something more. A few staff members have been kind, but unfortunately the overall culture is spoiled. Unfortunately their time and money has been wasted and taken a toll on their mental health for going thru this and saying for anyone else child who has another path available, don’t waste...

Most of the bad reviews are coming from people who had ONE bad experience at like the book store or whatever or i gEt tHiEr aDs oN hUlu, though the veteran who shared his story probably has a decent case to make. Anyway I got a business degree from this college and if you actually try you can do really really well here, with great professors and programs like the honors program which gives high level learning at bottom dollar, and wonderful faculty like the folks at PTK, disability services, or the Fuller Center. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to work on regarding graduation rates, the food, no one card system, etc but I couldn't give this place anything less than 5 stars because of all of the wonderful people who give 110% here, especially in those departments I mentioned. If you live in Worcester don't spend 30k a year to go to Assumption, you'll save so much money to come here. Seek opportunity, study for your tests, respect your professors and faculty, and most importantly, do your damn homework; I guarantee you'll be a success at this place if you do all of...

Where do I even start? This college is just a mess. If you need to get a degree and it’s your only option that’s the only way you should sell education here. I don’t even know how their rating is so high. The school is extremely low budget and unorganized. When you first sign up most people are not informed of what they need to do. Your financial aid will come in 6 different checks and will have discrepancies. The school does not keep up with online communications and transparency. They wouldn’t put merit list and Dean’s list students in the list till the middle of summer from spring. They are making the “bookstore” more complicated. You will no longer be able to retrieve your books there. Everything is online based and their tutoring demands that you must go into the school or fit into the small online schedule they have. Most schools in mass have unlimited online tutoring. They are only giving 15 hours of thinking Storm no matter how many classes you have(which is...
