I love Quincy College
Overall 5
The most utilitarian school, go to class, go home, study, pass. I love that this college is not a campus, but an office building. Right by the T too. All the unnecessary fat trimmed, affordable degrees with no frills.

Ridiculous. They charge $20 to change classes during add/drop period. They don't even have the professor who's teaching the course in the catalog so if you don't like your professor, you'll be paying to change. The photography class is expensive, and they don't even offer photo paper.

This school is very do your own foot work type of school you have to find out from other sources outside the school to know what classes to take next semesters because the advisors will not tell you and leave you in the dark on a lot of infomation.

I say this as a recent graduate. I agree with the top comment: "Campus is not a campus, advisors do not help, and professors dont care.", but i will say one thing; they will possibly always be the most convenient college I have been to. I went there just for class and went back to my life outside... 3/5...

-Commuter school, no campus, located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of a building.
-Typical of community colleges, the staff will not disclose information that is beneficial to your success. Keep an eye on your financial aid and don’t be talked into constantly changing your major. Remember their goal is getting your money- your goal is to graduate.

School campus ISN'T a campus. Basically 2 floors of a huge building shared with random businesses and stores. If you want a decent COLLEGE experience, Do not choose this school. Advisors don't help at all. Professors don't care about students. There were only 3 good people I met here-Some math prof in the tutoring center and my 2 eng profs. 0/5

This school is only helpful to incoming students, after your first semester you’re on your own. There’s no consistency with the staff and faculty, there’s always someone new working in the welcome center and everyone gives different information to students

The administrative offices are no help at all. No one answers the phones. The only time people are nice is the first year. After that you’re basically doing everything alone. Teachers barely care about the students. They send emails all semester about payment and when they are owing you money they make i disappear.
