Head Start At Mcc

The school from my time was very hit or miss. Most of the classes are once a week and 3 hours long making information hard to retain. They only had one accounting professor, and after my first semester she was no longer there. Then they hired a new professor for managerial accounting and only offered it as an 8 week class instead of a full semester. This school lays off a lot of their faculty, not sure why but likely due to enrollment being down or a high overhead from the upper management of the school. On the bright side, they have some hidden gems here. Professor Marcelo and Professor Magoon were awesome. If every professor were like the this review would easily be 5 stars. They put so much time and effort into their curriculum. The projects they assigned weren’t just busy work, it was meaningful.

I am an 11 year old 5th grade boy. My mom goes to college here and she brought me along, since she brought me along I used that chance to study for my own test and it was great. I got an A- on that science test. I loved it there because it was luxurious, quiet and big. I recommend adults and kids go there to study. It's a really peaceful and nice place. I see why my mom loves that library. FIVE STARS.

The professors in the graphic design program take their job very seriously and are extremely educated and hardworking. The book store lacks good customer service. The library is an awesome place to do homework and recieve excellent guidance from the librarians. Tide Water (the cafeteria food) is a little over price and sometimes the service is stingy but over all not bad. The “pit” is a great place to unwind and relax between classes. I would recommend this college to anyone that wants to get their moneys worth at a friendly and diverse college.

The rest of the school is fine. A couple people in the financial aid department however need to seriously be evaluated on how they speak to students and the attitude they convey. Financial aid is confusing as it is...so I’m very unsure why they have to make this process more difficult by being straight up rude. I have encountered ONE very nice woman with really short white hair (kind of a pixie cut) who has been helpful to me the past few days and a sweetheart. Most others I’ve encountered there seem and act like it’s the last place they want to be.

Manchester Community College offers a great student life. They encourage the creation of clubs as well as other student lead activities. I would also say that the cafeteria and common areas are very nice. This ends here though. Manchester Community College has a high faculty turn-over rate meaning that those who truly provide great service often are cycled through the college quickly. I often notice that staff that I once leaned on, left for other opportunities. This drives ignorance up. On more than one occasion I've been told that the arrangements for my financial aid have been in order. I've shown up to school to be refused admittance to the class. Their explanation was that my financial aid wasn't in order and the first individual was incorrect. On top of all this, it would seem that the school doesn't take the complaints regarding staff seriously either. On multiple occurrences I have written class surveys out that I never hear about. Once, I even had to go to HR directly. I'm not the only person dissatisfied regarding the curriculum of some of the classes I was taking. My fellow students have made complaints as well. These complaints include but are not limited to... 1. Showing up to class and the instructor being consistently llate (at one point 2 hours late) 2. half an hour breakfast breaks at the beginning of class. 3. 15 minute smoke breaks as frequent as 3 times a class 4. A teacher who cancelled all class assignments because they couldn't determine how to use lab equipment properly in order to teach. This instructor then followed up by cancelling all the homework and the final. They then completely change the syllabus so that the midterm counted as the majority of the classes grading weight. (this happened with the same instructor basically twice. Once even after filing complaints jointly with other students) 5. A three credit course with a 30 percent class failure rate is being taught by a professor who is using their high school curriculum. Each class consisting on 1 test, three lab assignments, a packet full of worksheets, and a partridge in a pear tree. (this is only a three credit class. Many students and staff members agree with me that this is the course load is worth 6 credits) I am willing to say that I took the AP version of this same class and passed it in high school. I will also say that I am disappointed that I couldn't overcome the difficulty of this class. (the only class I have ever failed. I blame myself for not coming to the conclusion before it was too late.) 6. Manchester Community College often only has one instructor that teaches a course. This means that if you ever fail a class and are seeking to take it with another instructor, you may not be able to do so. The student would be able to take the same class at another school but transferring the class wouldn't absolve the "f" earned during the prior class. This means students may be forced to take the class again with the same faculty member risking the possibility of failing again with the same pitfalls encountered before. 7. I have spoken to many classmates who have deep seated feeling of disillusionment. I only hope this college will start viewing their students for what they are - customers.
