During my time at MCC as a Dual Enrollment student, I’ve grown so much academically and professionally. I’ve learned how to meet deadlines and write essays under pressure. I’ve also learned public speaking and leadership skills. I’ve learned to take charge of a group and how to encourage my own success as well as the success of others. All of these skills and more that I’ve gained at MCC are absolutely crucial for my future academic and professional success.
Sohana Hasan - Homeschooled Student
I chose to come to Middlesex because I was looking to take more advanced courses than those offered by my high school. MCC has allowed me to grow academically and get involved with things I would not have been able to do at my high school.
Gautham Anoop - Dual Enrollment Student
My overall experience at MCC was amazing and really shaped who I am today. I always loved learning before I got to MCC, but MCC’s Dual Enrollment program helped me cultivate that love and channel it into action. I felt confident because of MCC and I feel as though I was able to create a solid path for myself.
Alicia Gentile - Dual Enrollment Student
“My experience in MCC’s Early College helped me reach my goals because I am an entire year ahead and I entered college prepared. By taking MCC’s Early College classes, I was able to save money and time that I can use for my future education. I found my experience with MCC to be unique and worth sharing.
Ivan Kim - Early College Student
I wanted to have more control over my education. I wanted to learn more than what the high school curriculum was providing. I also chose to come to MCC so that I could challenge myself during my junior and senior years of high school.

With Concurrent Enrollment, you are getting affordable college-level classes done on a schedule that you are used to. It makes it easier to manage. These classes have helped me become more academically inclined at a faster rate.
Bridget Severino - Concurrent Enrollment Student
I thought this was a great opportunity to gain advocating experience and have an internship at the start of college. Through the program, I learned the importance of taking risks and reaching out for opportunities. If I didn’t take advantage of Early College, I wouldn’t be as eager to pursue higher education due to how expensive college is.
