Please READ - THIS GIVES HONEST AND EXPERIENCE IF U ARE THINKING OF GOING HERE…read more HOLY LET ME START! THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF U ARE LOW INCOME MONEY LIKE ME AND NEEDED COMMUNITY TO TRANSFER or TRY COLLEGE. This was the worst experience of my life and I respect community College so much. I give credit where credit is due and the only thing I can say is at least they kept most places of the building clean. I started community because I needed to go to school but I originally was gonna transfer and my guidance counselor told me to transfer from community cause it was "easier", personally not my case but it does depend on per person. I want to also say I do have anxiety disorder and speech. And severe ocd. I am diagnosed since I was a child. I do take medications. So I was prepared for anything or so I THOUGHT. the first day of school for me WAS awful which I should've seen coming. I was already anxious kid but when I walked in the staff completely ignored me - but I gave it okay because my parent is a teacher I totally understand the stress it was crowded mildly. I asked a question and finally someone told me the direction turns out he took me to the wrong area - then they asked another person who told me to go to point b and IT WAS THE WRONG AREA. getting lost was okay because I knew college was gonna be like that. After I finally founded my orientation station the guy was so RUDE AND MEAN! I tried making small talk like hellow happy first day and he was like yeah not happy for me. Like OK so sorry to bear that and he asked me to sign up for my personal email thing and I was having trouble and basically when I told him he said what are u deaf and took my computer and did it for me but my lord is was so unwelcoming. So I went home with a pit in my stomach. I gave it THREE weeks before I quit and left. Basically when I picked for classes at the meeting class thing. THEY WERE SO UNHELPFUL - first off these grown as women were in front of me acting all high and mighty like ma'am ur 30 I'm 19 please don't act like u weren't 19 before and didn't know anything. Anytime someone asked a question they would snicker and the staff would see and laugh a little TOO!??! LIKE WHAT. THEN they messed up my schedule I told them my major but they didn't tell me I needed to take a math and English they just gave me a few art classes and told me I'm good. Then for finial aid I had no idea about this fee for and the girl there was like well I did mine last year so I can't really help u. Like SCREE U AND FREAK OFF UR THE FREAKING STAFF WHAT RHE FREAK. then my classes started after I managed to get fixed. And let me tell u OMG! u will be lucky if u find some good professors I only found one out of six classes who was SUCH AN AMAZING GUY. HE REALLY CARED ABOUT WHAT HE TAUGHT. my math professor kept yapping about her alcoholic issues and my graphic professor would just assign us stuff and not really teach. I know people say community College is bad and I just want to preference by saying that is not TRUE. there are so many community colleges that are so caring and actually care about education. This however is NOT IT! they were super unwelcoming, you only get stuff done if u literally dominate them. And honestly I know in my classes the way the interactions was so weird like I don't know if some students aka grown ass people and teachers acting like this is high-school. This one girl didn't have a chromebook and this grown ass teacher was like what u can't afford it? Like sir no she can't so what, u can HELP HER?!?! MAKING HER FEEL BAD FOR WHAT??! I excepted some maturity because highschool was the worst but whew i was clearly wrong. Im now in a art college waiting to transfer to a art uni so it worked out for me. Moral of the story honestly NO PLEASE GO TO A DIFFERENT COMMU ITY COLLEGE LIKE NORTSHORE OR SOMETHING. THIS school is so unprofessional. I hope they change and make it better for people who have to go here becahse everyone deserves an education!​​

I asked him About the terrible reviews on the school and he replied with "ok who doesn't have bad reviews" DIDNT acknowledge the seriousness of the matter of people being scammed, charged, and harassed about their money, especially after graduating. He made a dumb snarky comment because I am on vacation before my classes start, "vacations hit different when you have a career" Lmfao I've never experienced such an unprofessional, invasive counselor. When I called out that behavior and inappropriate comment , he proceeded to say "says a lot about you" Actually Daniel it says a LOT MORE about YOU and "yOuR sChOol" Save your money, and go to a real institution that will take you seriously, and not just use you for you cash.

My son was going there to be a diesel technician! He started in June 2023 and was told he would be…read moreout of the classroom and in the lab after 2 1/2 weeks tops!! The beginning of September he still was sitting in the classroom and told to just read the books and take notes, the teacher would just sit on his phone. So a few kids in his class said something to the teacher and the dean that they were told they would be in the lab no longer then 3 weeks after starting school, they were told that the recruiters just say that to get people to insist . A few weeks later my son called me and said he was going to quit because nothing had changed and the instructor actually fell asleep in class!! So I got involved and said that something needed to change!! The next week they finally got in the lab and was enjoying actually being hands on learning how to work on vehicles! Unfortunately to that only lasted a little over a month. The end of November my son finally said he couldn't do it any more, they were back to just reading books and doing modules all the time. He was not learning ANYTHING and paying a ton to do it. I told him to talk to someone higher up and when he did they said "this is how we run this school and we don't really care if you don't like it We feel so lies to and have to pay for months of NOTHING!!! If I could personally tell everyone who is even thinking about going here to run the other direction I would!! Definitely a terrible experience and after reading all the reviews that are so similar to ours, I'm really surprised thia school is even able to be open or have students go there. I feel for anyone that has ever or will ever step foot in this school! They are taking advantage of kids and it needs to stop!

A 3-Year Administrative Failure: 63 Credits, 4.0 GPA, and No Degree…read more This school is a SCAM. BEWARE. I am writing this to provide a factual account of my experience in the Dual Degree Graduate Expressive Therapies program (Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Music Therapy) at Lesley University. I moved from Los Angeles to Boston specifically for this program. Despite maintaining a 4.0+ GPA over three years, completing my thesis, and finishing 63 graduate credits, I was left without a degree due to what I can only describe as a total lack of administrative accountability. The Learning Environment While Lesley preaches tolerance and inclusion, the physical and social reality is quite different. Graduate classes are held on the fourth floor of a dilapidated old mall. The facility is poorly maintained, the elevators are frequently delayed for 10+ minutes, and the environment is often unsanitary. As a student with a professional background in the music industry, I felt immediate friction; if you do not fit a very specific "stereotypical" mold, you are marked as an outsider by the faculty and cohort. The Second Internship: 2Life Communities (Framingham) During my third year, I was placed at 2Life Communities under supervisor Jennifer Rich. * The Commute: Despite my transparency about my location, I was forced into a commute that took 2 hours each morning and 3 to 4 hours each evening--a 5-to-8 hour daily round trip. * The Work: Though this was a clinical internship, I was frequently utilized as unpaid kitchen staff, a waiter, and a busboy. * Performance: Despite the conditions, I led over 100 groups. I was told by residents that my music therapy sessions were the highlight of their week. I passed my fall evaluation (Val) with a 4/5, meeting the first of two criteria required to pass the internship. The Administrative Error (Chris Yang) The primary failure lies with the Field Training Office. My advisor, Chris Yang, realized halfway through my final year that the supervisor the school had vetted and assigned to me did not actually hold the required MT-BC credentials. * I had spent the semester doing the work of an on-site supervisor named Wendy--who only appeared twice--essentially teaching for her while she was presumably paid. * I held a 100/100 (A+) in my Clinical Supervision class. Between the 100% grade and the passing fall evaluation, I had met all criteria to move toward graduation. The "PIP" and The F's Instead of the university taking responsibility for their vetting error, they issued me a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) the day before winter break. The PIP was triggered because I refused a request to drive an additional 1.5 hours (on top of my 2-hour morning commute) to a different facility to cover their staffing shortages. While at the site, I contracted COVID three times and a severe flu due to the unsanitary conditions. Because I was ill during the PIP period, the school claimed I "failed" to complete it. * The Result: Two months before graduation, they flunked me out of my internship. They gave me zero credit for 8 months of work. * The Transcript: Despite my 100% grade in the class and a completed thesis, they placed two F's on my transcript. * The "Requirement": They demanded I write seven essays "taking accountability" for their administrative errors and my "defensiveness" before I could return. When I eventually reapplied, they rejected me. Conclusion I am a University of Miami alumnus and a seasoned professional who worked my tail off for this program. I am now left with 63 credits of debt and no degree while the rest of my cohort moves into their careers. Lesley University chose to protect its administration rather than support a student who met every academic and clinical requirement. If you value your time, money, and career, look elsewhere.

He really goes over the material well and provides lots of supplemental handouts. if you don't study, everyone in the class will know because calls on people randomly and reads the homework grades aloud.

The computer lab always has seats available and you can print 20 double sided pages a day free! And the other day the lounge had free donuts and coffee! Only thing this place could use is student parking, but given the location that probably won't happen.

I was saddened to hear that BSC closed in 2023. In the early 2000s, BSC was fun and the Back Bay was a great place. Boston felt different back then too. A good city full of open minded people.

They offer a variety of Associates and Bachelors degrees ranging from Entertainment Management, Fashion, Business, Audio, Early Childhood Education, Nursing, Physical Therapy, and Criminal Justice. The school also offers continuing educating courses and night schooling to adults wishing to extend their current education. Pros: Small school with small classes. It's a very close knit and tight knit community. Dorming is available to students. Close to public transportation (Green Line: Arlington and Copley, Orange Line: Back Bay, MBTA/Amtrak: Back Bay). Cons: Technology needs a massive upgrade. Most of the school's academic campus is not wifi friendly. Not too many student activities or on-campus activities for students.

I am so impressed with the staff and students. The main focus of the ILC is their intensive English program for immigrants in the community. Students of all backgrounds can join the program (I believe there is currently a waitlist) and be placed into the appropriate level. I help out with the lowest level, where students started from basically zero English. The main teacher is amazing and I am truly impressed with how much the class has learned, all while having fun and creating a close community. There's also a computer lab where students do English practice while also learning computer skills. The ILC also offers other services, like an in-house social worker, workshops to teach other skills, etc. So happy we have an organization like this in Malden!

Overall, the education has been top-notch, with some unnecessary/ill-designed classes (e.g. Community Heath) along the way. The clinical placements have been exceptional. I've been on the Cardiac Surgery Step Down Unit, a Med-Surg Telemetry Unit, and General Med Unit all at MGH; the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital in JP; and McLean Hospital's Eval Center for my advanced placement clinical. However, your placement depends upon your curriculum coordinator and the clinical placement coordinator. They have Adult Primary Care, Adult-Gerontology, Adult-Women, Pediatrics, Pedi Psych, Family, Acute Care, and Psych Adult Tracks. The program is intensive. 3 years full-time, summers free to work or take classes. They do NOT help you get a job, but they do teach you good networking skills. It's expensive, to the tune of 30,000K/year, in addition to books and supplies. They offer some cool, fun classes: HIV/AIDS Nursing, Mind-Body Nursing, International Health, and Refugee/Immigrant Health. My year they accepted 100 students, major overkill, especially when you are all in one room. Privacy and autonomy relinquished. You do band together, because it's like enduring bootcamp baby.
