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.
