    I wish I can reverse time to save money. Don't think that everyone is going to laugh at you because you're going to a community college. I've learned it the hard way. Take all your core classes at a 2-year college, verify the credits will transfer, before you come to MCPHS.

    Even if those credits don't transfer, don't think MCPHS is your only option. Once you get all your core classes completed and it meets the requirements of other colleges/universities, you have a better chance of getting into that college.

    This school can be a real pain in the butt because the administrative make it that way. These past few years or so, they've accepted more students than there are seats to fill in. Professors have to modify their teachings to accommodate the levels of these students. It also means that they'd have to hire more faculty and construction workers to tear up small spaces and create bigger lecture halls, etc.

    Be weary, the school tends to rip you off on financial aid money but be persistent. Solve the situation yourself since they go after you for financial problems and if that doesn't work, get your parents involved, you get the idea.

    Do not buy books from the bookstore across the street. They rip you off. Try to sign up for the accepted freshmen class of whatever year on facebook and connect with former students of anatomy, etc. class to get the book. They're at a better price and it's way cheaper than the bookstore's price.

    Don't borrow more than you need but if you do, excess funds become refund checks, which you can get after each semester starts.

    Be on-time for everything!! Punctuality is important!! You don't want to get yourself into trouble with professors, deans, or your financial aid officer!!!

    Get to know your peers and get together. Sometimes you guys can share books which can cut back costs of textbooks, etc.

    You don't have to buy everything listed for each class. There are some professors who don't even use the book but suggests you to use it as a guide. The library has most of these books anyways so you can either photocopy them or have a friend scan the pages and just print it from your email account.

    Use all your print pages!! They're not refundable so use as much as you can even if it means killing trees!! You can recycle paper at the bins provided in the printing room or whenever you can find a recycling bin elsewhere.

    Bring leftovers or learn to cook!! You'd save a lot of money!! There are 3 microwaves in the school; one in the atrium, and two in teh student lounge. Don't buy food from the snack machine, soda machine, or the cafeterias around the school. They're overpriced!!!

    Try to use public transportation even if the T has technical difficulties here and there. Give enough time like an hour or more to commute to anywhere to better save yourself. Walk or ride your bike if possible and don't park at the school because it's expensive!!

    If you can please, do not use the computers at the school to go on facebook, myspace, etc. or to watch a video!!! It's so annoying for students to find every computer taken esp. when they need to use it to print or type something up!!!

    Check your email frequently!!! Make it a habit!!! Everything from the school will be listed there.

    Remember, stay out of trouble, go to class, study, be on top of assignments and payments, double check your APA/MLA formatted papers, ask questions, ask for help when you need it, talk with your professors, use public transportation, bring your own food, and learn to balance your busy life and you'd do fine at this college. read full review
