MassBay Community College Wellesley Hills Campus — Local services in Wellesley

If I could give this "college" zero stars, I would. I took a few classes there for a week and a half because I needed some cheap credits in order to graduate early from my real school. I'm not typically a judgmental person, but after about ten minutes I couldn't believe how much of a joke it was. First off, the place reeks. Like I'm not sure how it's scientifically possible for any building to smell that bad. Furthermore, two of my professors could barely speak English and another one was extremely uptight and treated the students like 3rd graders. You know it's bad when your Spanish teacher's comprehension of the English language is spectacular compared to the other teachers. But what was most pathetic was a large portion of the "students." Most of them clearly didn't want to be there, which is ridiculous considering you're paying for further education so you should want to be in school. A lot of kids were clearly low functioning, ignorant, and unmotivated. The one moment I'll remember for a while was when a kid had to get escorted out because he was on meth. I hope he can get help with his addiction, but you can't have students coming into class drooling and expect anybody to take this place seriously. So, you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend the school to anyone who is evenly remotely educated. I've heard it makes illegal Mexicans hop back over the border because they realized they can get a better education on...

Teacher quality is a total crapshoot. My first teacher was great, and I felt I learned a lot. However, most of the teachers I've met since then are totally incompetent and often mean or irritable, and sometimes I wonder if they're making the courses up as they go since the classes are so poorly managed.

Moreover, the administration runs you around like a chicken just to get signed up, and I've never gotten the correct information to any question the first time asking. Different staff and offices contradict each other, and get short with you when you're upset about it.

I've learned more from YouTube than this place. You could get lucky and get a good teacher, but I've never felt more like college was a scam than when attending here. Regardless, they're still accredited, so you can get by if you have no other choice. However, don't expect you're going to learn more than you could with a good book and Google at...

MassBay changed my life for the better. After attending a college that wasn’t right for me, MassBay saved the day. In my 3 semesters, I have had wonderful professors and the administration has been incredible. Transferring into and out of the school were made extremely easy, and I would recommend this school to anyone looking to work towards a degree. Everyone here WANTS you to graduate and succeed and you can feel that in all aspects of the college.

(Wellesley campus): Student parking is (I think) free and in close proximity to campus. Advising, financial aid, and the bookstore were all very knowledgeable and helpful. All classes and administrations are all in one building. I have zero regrets about attending MassBay and I encourage anyone looking to earn a certificate, Associate’s Degree, or eventual Bachelor’s to see what MassBay...
