I recently graduated from another community college in Massachusetts and compared to that college this school is horrendous.
The campus is very ugly; outdated brutalist architecture; think a big cement block on top of a hill. The surrounding city is very unsafe however you go to this college not for the great education experience but because it's cheap.

AND let me emphasis the poor education you will receive at this college. Most of the teachers do not care about you; they try to avoid their students; end classes early and are generally unhelpful. One teacher would always ramble on about his day job; never used the book and did a very poor job teaching the class. As result on the first midterm everyone failed but one person and even then the teacher refused to change his teaching method or curve the grade.
Another teacher "lost" several of my assignments, refused to grade one and as a result now I have an unfair; undeserved grade. I would not recommend anyone go to Holyoke Community College.
