Student feedback about the education programs at GCC

What students have to say about our programs

"As a student entering the early childhood education program at Greenfield Community College, you can expect to learn a lot from fantastic teachers, have fun and realize that there are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers."

"I think that the program at GCC is very good. The class size, the teachers and the information provided was very helpful to me. I learned so much about teaching and all of the other aspects of teaching. I think that the program is very strong. I went in knowing the basics and came out with a career. All of my needs have been met and were very satisfying to me. I have never had a bad experience while in this program. The teachers are very helpful, always open for questions and are there when you need them. Most of all they make learning fun."

"I feel that this is a program that I would recommend to someone because I learned many things such as planning and implementing a curriculum. I received feedback that made me realize what I do well and what needs more work. I received valuable information from the staff, handouts and course materials as well as learning from the children that I worked with at my site."

"I really enjoyed the program and I think what I enjoyed most was the spirit of friendship and informality among the students and the instructors. I always felt that if I had a problem I could go to anyone and talk about it and get an answer. I would recommend it to others. The program is very flexible and the material is challenging. There is of course also the fact that as a resident of Massachusetts, the tuition is less expensive here at GCC."

"There is immense learning available here at GCC with hands-on experiences rather that memorizing abstract information. I would definitely recommend this program."

"The positive aspects of the program include the size of the classes and the professors who were kind and gave help when you needed it. I cannot think of any weaknesses in the program. I would recommend the program to anyone. I feel that the program is challenging but that anyone can do it because of the available help and willingness of the instructors."
