Manchester Community College

Don’t let the stigma of community colleges fool you.
This is a wonderful school at a much lower cost than other traditional post-​secondary institutions. Majority of the staff are super nice and kind. My professors were amazing; a lot of them were/​are not only professionals in their field of study (my Forensic Science instructor, Bob O’Brien, worked under Dr. Henry Lee, otherwise known as the godfather of modern forensics), but amazing and helpful individuals that truly wanted to see their students succeed. Their tutoring/​writing center and academic counselors are also wonderful; you just need to seek out their assistance on your own (it’s not high school, so there will be no hand-​holding here).
There’s also a book scholarship fund for those who are struggling financially in the Student Affairs office. Definitely seek that out as well if applicable. Also, Robert Turner is THE gentleman to seek out if you plan on transferring in courses or transferring out of the school to another institution. :)
Basically, it’s a great school with a great price, with a super supportive community. I highly recommend that anyone looking to take some courses, whether it be for personal enrichment or prerequisites for a four-​year degree look here first.
I plan on completing my Paralegal Certification here once I can secure an 8 – 5 shift at my fulltime job (so I’ll be able to take night classes). :D

The extra star is there for the lower cost and 1 or 2 good teachers I experienced.
The councilors are pretty lazy. If you go in after your first semester they «can’t help you». I’ve heard stories of them shutting the door early because they «don’t want to see any more students today». I, myself, got told by a councilor when I asked for help that I «should have payed more attention to school events» and class and college planning is «my own responsibility».
Apparently you’re suppose to contact the «coordinator of your major». I tried to, a couple times. I don’t get responses. Not to mention faculty are a rare find in their offices.
The clubs lack. It’s also very difficult to form one.
The school baseball team was shut down because it cost too much money when they got good enough to travel. The president said there will never be another sports team.
There is a huge language barrier with a few staff.
Like to run? There’s a dirt trail around the school. That’s about it for sports.
Some teachers in their class play videos of other professors teaching at universities like Yale instead of teaching.
The school itself is like a high school where no one talks to each other. You will feel pretty alone if you’re introverted.
Overall, there are some good teachers. It is a better cost than other schools. You can make friends here, but it’s a lot harder.
Go here for the money.

Excellent school with endless possibilities for growth and learning. You save money, while getting quality education. The staff and professors truly want to help, and see you succeed. I definitely recommend this school.
