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.

It's a pristine and great learning environment. Coming from a junior-ivy college, I visited the school and I loved it. I was at their library and I enjoyed my personal study session. The library is small enough to elicit a feeling of warmth, but also decently sized enough to house a couple of books and computers. The facilities are beautiful, well-maintained and roomy. Restrooms are impressively clean with sanitary provisions. (First written 2022). Fun update: August 23, 2024! I'll be teaching Math 145XM (Quantitative Reasoning) this fall!! I'm excited about the opportunity😊, as a newly hired adjunct😎. Make sure you check out our comprehensive and rewarding math program at mccnh.edu

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.

Not a good school management doesn't do anything to help if you have an issue with instructors. I have been talking to management about my grade on the English comp 1 course they refused to listen or help me in order to get the grade that I deserve. I'm not backing down because I deserve to be graded accordingly and I believed it's a racial thing. I won't give up until justice is served.

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.

I’m very happy to have finished and completed the Exercise Science Program in The school! From the expertise of the professors- the extensive knowledge they have in the industry is beyond expectations and how the cultivated each individuals minds to learn and hone their skills from beginners to young professionals in the industry very much exceeded my expectations. I would do this program again in a heart beat and wouldn’t wanna go anywhere else. Great job !!

Came here hoping to receive a good education after enrolling in a Computer Science bootcamp and learning the basics as well as more expert level concepts. The the majority of the CIS teachers I had over my first semester, had no clue what they were teaching and often relied on searching "google" for correct answers or help. This is a good service when working in companies when you need help with a fix, but as a college professor you should know how to teach your course. Often felt talked down to during class. When trying to test out off a Java Course and relaying all of my previous work/class experience in the subject, I was told it would be a waste of my time and his for that matter to let me try and test out of the class. On a separate note, teachers were often rude and do not respond to email. Had a teacher who didn't put/update grades til the week of finals and refused to update grades when the work was handed in. Campus is very dirty and looks like a horror movie. Awful experience, go to another Community College or go to SNHU. It is a waste of time and money.

Terrible all around. The website constantly crashes, phishing attempts and hacked computers are frequent, the building's lower levels look like something out of a saw movie, instructors will often not hand out assignments until a quarter of the way into the course. Staff is incredibly hostile and rude, especially those in the bursers office, admissions, and front end. and the bald guy who works in the front was so negative and nasty that it blew my mind. I did not come to college and spend thousands of my own money to be treated in this regard and if he were my employee and spoke to me the way he did, i would fire him on the spot. Garbage campus for garbage price, spend the extra 4 grand and go to UNH.

Going back to school in your 40's was a tough decision but here at Manchester Community College everyone made it so easy. There are online classes for when I can't fit the in-class experience into my busy mom schedule. I will hopefully be graduating in 2017, I am so excited to move on to my next adventure and so ready thanks to Manchester Community College.

Take my advice as a student currently finishing as the welding program. Anything you "learn" from this school are only things you teach yourself through the book and fellow students. I've only had one teacher remotely capable of teaching a …

Our community garden is awesome, it is all organic as every garden is there. Nothing like your own fresh vegetables. And with the cost of vegetables now a days it is awesome to have your own

School is pretty good, but the downstairs hallways (like room 126 and 129) have an ant infestation year round..
