Why should I go to MBCC?

There are several reasons to do two years at MassBay and transfer those credits to a four-year school, such as:

Saving money-- The biggest advantage to starting at a two-year college is the fact that you pay much less as compared to other institutions. Credit cost at MBCC is $215— some four-year private schools can be up to $1,000+ per credit.
Taking your time figuring out what you want to do-- it’s also a chance to explore different majors; the smaller financial risk gives you more freedom to explore and change your mind.
Smaller class sizes-- community colleges often have smaller classes. This means you get more attention from instructors — and better opportunities for mentorship.
Increased flexibility with your schedule-- community colleges are known for their flexible schedules. For instance, they often have a larger slate of night classes than many four-year universities, providing you more options if you need to work during the day.
A chance to improve your grades-- Standardized tests and your high school GPA don’t matter as much if you have a new track record from a two-year school. Prove yourself, and you have an opportunity to get scholarships and meet other requirements to transfer to a university.
