Shara - 07/05/2020

I thought Manchester Community College was great and I am definitively recommending the college to my friends. It is cheap and everyone there is so nice and helpful. Even if it doesn't have the major you want, it is a good starting point to get out a lot of the classes you need for a lot less money and then transfer to a different college to finish up.

Roselina - 07/31/2019

This Community College has a lot to offer whether it's clubs or activities to do outside of the school. Lots of students and staff come together to do something big like run fundraisers or have a donation to those who are in need. by doing this its not only helpful for everyone to be part of something special but it brings everyone to become close with one another and we get to share our stories with everyone. Also we get to meet new people and have a great time.

It’s a decent school, but it’s hard to access scholarship information. Also, if you are behind on payments you cannot check your grades, register for classes or anything else. I was awarded a 1,000$ Scholarship but it wasn’t applied to my bill so now I still owe money and can’t pay it off currently. Staff said I just still owed the money and wouldn’t help other wise.

Marvyn - 06/05/2019

It was a great school to learn and develop life skills. Many of the teachers are willing to give you more information than you ask for, which is a good thing for those who are extremely invested in a class. If you are coming to socialize or party, it may not be the best fit as many people are here to get an education and learn! I personally enjoyed my time here, but I wish I had more time to engage in the many clubs and programs they have. It is very engaging and informative for anyone going in for a Arts, science, Engineering and math degree from my experience.

For instance, over the summer I took a chemistry class with a professor who worked as an engineer at NERAC. His experiences in the work place transferred to the classroom setting where he was able to help students more easily apply their knowledge.
