Can anyone help me with a list of community colleges in Boston, Massachusettes?
Asked by ChelleI need a list of community colleges in Boston, Massachusetts. I've been searching around but I'm not finding ANYthing! Either there's not any or I'm looking in the wrong places = / I'm trying to go into nursing and I'm planning to move to Boston in a year or so. And I don't want to go to a big college, just a community college. And I can't find any there. Except for 4... Bunker Hill Community College, Gibbs College, Bay State College, & Roxbury Community College. Those are it! I know there has to be more, but I can't find them anywhere at all. Can someone please help me? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! = )

There aren't that many ccs in Boston proper. If you look to the surrounding suburbs, there are a lot more. Note that Gibbs is a private, for profit college, not a community college. A cc will be far cheaper, and (honestly) perhaps more reputable. I'll give you a list of two year programs (at private and public schools) that are approved by the Mass. Board of Registration in Nursing (which is what is required for you to study and become a nurse), and which are either directly in Boston, or accessible to Boston, very quickly, via the T (the subway): - Quincy College (in Quincy, MA, on the red line, 20 minutes to downtown, very easy commute - walk maybe 5 mins from the train stop, Quincy Center) - Roxbury Community College (Roxbury is part of Boston) - Soldier's Home in Massachusetts (in Chelsea, part of Boston) - Bunker Hill Community College (in Charlestown, part of Boston) - Laboure College I don't think Bay State College offers a full, approved nursing program. And the one at Mass Bay may be in a bit of trouble with their regulators, so be cautious - make sure those issues are resolved before you apply. I'll link to an article on the subject, below. And I'll link you to a complete list of all the approved programs in Mass, just in case you end up living just outside the city.
