As a first time college student (I've never been to college before in my life), I must say that this is the perfect place to start my journey! Tessa, the woman who helped me with the admission process was nothing to but helpful and professional! After talking with her on the phone and through emails, I finally met Tessa. She is exactly what I imagined - very friendly and her smile is very welcoming! From admissions, financial aid, to registration and getting my class schedule, the entire process was quite easy! Never a moment where something went wrong. I am yet to meet my advisor, his name is Antwon - and I have heard nothing but fabulous things about him! Something that really stands out about Middlesex Community College (MxCC) is the way they treat their students who have disabilities/different abilities! Nothing but empathy, acceptance, inclusion, and kindness! I have absolutely nothing to worry about - because I know I'll be able to fit in with no issues. For someone who has dreamed of obtaining a job in the Criminal Justice field for years (me), this is the best place to start! It is a 2 year journey of studying to earn my associates degree, then I can graduate. Class of 2025! To me, 2 years is not a long time - I'll be finished in no time. Middlesex Community College, thank you for making the beginning of my college journey smooth! I feel so happy, grateful, and very blessed! read more

I love school, I'll admit I was a little nervous, being 30 years old and all.... It's calm here. My professors are understanding and beyond helpful. It's nice to know Educators with a passion still, not lackadaisical, with an attitude. read more

I've had several problems with the financial aid department here, mainly that they don't respond to emails! When you call the numbers listed on their website for financial aid, you are told by customer service that you cannot speak to anyone directly, and that you have to email them. Two semesters ago, it took them forever for them to respond to me, and because of this I was not able to get into a class I was trying to register for, thus delaying my graduation. Now I'm having an issue with a form I need from them and it's been a week with no response! I sent over 15 emails (literally) and nothing! I don't live close to the school but it looks like I will have to make my way there just to get this stupid form! I've had so many problems with this school I could go on and on. I do not recommend this school to anyone! read more

Nothing but good words can be said about Middlesex Community College. My first semester I made a large amount of kind new friends including faculty staff and even deans and president herself. I am so happy I choose to go to this college which inhabits a safe community and learning area for students, which is close to home where I can still see my family on a daily basis. I would highly recommend MxCC to any student looking to further in there career. I say this because I surely didn't know what I wanted to do in life but with the help and guidance from my advisor I am now ready to enter the business world where I'm quite certain I will be hired. Middlesex doesn't need to be a plan (B) it most certainly for me was plan (A). read more

I found a dead frog in the parking lot. My husband picked it up thinking it was alive, and then was promptly disgusted. Anyways, this review is about the school. A-OK. Some professors are awful, some pretend they are teaching at Yale. Can't ever find a happy medium. read more

Very very disappointed with Middlesex Community College. I enrolled to take a prereq I needed for graduate school and they charged me out of state tuition for the 4 credit class. I contacted everyone I could think of to help me resolve the issue and they kept passing me around playing a huge game of phone tag. I moved to Ct in October, it is now August, and I was told that since I haven't lived in ct for a full year I did not qualify for in-state tuition. The class would have started late August and therefore in one month I would have qualified for in-state. I tried to talk to the dean of admissions, who was actually the most helpful of the people I spoke to, but she informed me there was nothing I could do unless I wanted to appeal to some board of regents. They told me that I could not delay payment until October or they would drop me. If I had to wait until the next semester to take the course my grad school plans would be put back an entire year and no one at Middlesex CC was understanding of this. They have, and I quote, "Cost should never be a barrier to college. We are here to help." written on their website. Yet they were trying to charge me 3x the amount of what normal in-state tuition is just because I haven't lived in state for a full year at the time of my registration but would be considered in state at the time of my course. I work full time in Connecticut and I would be working full time through the duration of my class as well, therefore paying Ct taxes that are funding this school. Absolutely ridiculous and hypocritical institution and policies. there should always be exceptions to policies like this. They said it themselves on their website that cost should not be a barrier yet turn around and try to charge a student and tax-paying ct citizen an atrocious amount due to one month of inconsistency in the policy. If you can find alternative places to take your courses I recommend doing so because this institution does not care about your academic goals or ambitions. All they want is your money. They now losing my business, I will search elsewhere to continue my education for both semesters of classes that I was going to take through Middlesex CC. I hope they realize the flaws in the way they run their institution and address them so other students can have affordable access to educational opportunities. Truly disappointing that a COMMUNITY college would act in this manner. read more

Middlesex Community College - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Good place to go if you want an educational experience that does not include the party world atmosphere you will find in most traditional sleep away colleges. Also an ideal place to save money for paying for education, not massive infrastructure, sports programs, and all the other bells and whistles that many sleep away colleges use to lure applicants. Professors are knowledgeable and fair. Main drawback is limited course selection, as they mostly focus on general education courses that students take before their third year. Too much emphasis on online courses as well. This could benefit some by the cutting down on travel time and expenses. Brian Ghilliotti read more

I took a microbiology class here during a Spring semester and not only was the classroom and lab very outdated, the instructor wasn't all that helpful. Parking was atrocious especially when there was snow and ice covering everything. There are about 4 different academic buildings which could only make for a bigger headache when having to walk building to building for different classes. I prefer Capitol CC in Hartford or NVCC. read more

It was a pretty good college experience. The teachers were friendly and most of them worked hard to make sure you understood the material. It wasn't one of the best college experiences that I've had, but it was one of the most memorable ones. Not because of the classes or the events, but because of the people who I met that made it more enjoyable. Sure, there were some bumps here and there along the way, but I definitely don't regret going to this college. read more

Good as a prep school for people needing remedial math or English skills and good in a few specialties, but there are so many useless courses required to get to the few useful ones. Most of the professors are good but I wouldn't go here for 2 years-it just isn't worth it. read more
