Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Reviews

"The small and close knit community of MCLA was the selling point. The academics were average and often took a back seat to small campus politics with professors who were adjunct or checked out and tenured. Since attending the student body has halved and most of student life and traditions have gone by the wayside. Would I recommend this school 10 years ago? Yes, for a student looking for a decent general education and on campus experience. Would I recommend it now? Probably not"

"There's so much opportunity at this place! The education was great. The professors and learning centers were amazing. The community is also actively pushing for progression in all the right places, including artist collectives that students can get highly involved in, Mass MoCA right down the street, and even local gardening initiatives. Going to MCLA was surely been one of the best decisions I've ever made!"

"Don't believe the sales pitch that the college gives you. Life as an MCLA student wont be anywhere near as good as the admissions office tells you it will be. And if you want a good job or internship after you graduate, you need to have your own contacts because MCLA doesn't help!!"

"I took mostly Fine Arts, Arts Management and English/Communications classes. The teachers were engaged and supportive and personal, and the classes were interesting, fun, and packed with information and experience. Students were friendly and I truly loved my time here."

"Great college! Nice atmosphere, friendly people, a lot to offer."

"Great school at a great price. Well deserving ranking on the top public colleges bu USA Weekely. Like their saying your school right from the start. It is a very personal setting. You are a name and face. Not a number."
