They suck at scheduling effective classes for a full time working student. There are very little or no classes offered at the south county center and travel is almost not even worth the half ass education you get. spend the extra money and go some place real

Really bad architecture in a bucolic setting. Buildings and roads in terrible shape. You feel like you are somewhere in the old Soviet Union. There are a lot of remedial classes here and not a lot of career path type opportunities even tho' they advertise it as such. Lots of snarly and 'chip-on-the-shoulder' types working here too-hard to navigate.

Look, milk it if you're just going to get an AA and stay working in the Berkshires. BA transfer students, non-traditional students, and non-liberals would do their best not to be there when they needn't be there. This is of course a reflection on the general ethos of the place, not some of the excellent profs there.
