Liberal Arts & Sciences
Danielle Waseleski graduated in May with her associate degree in liberal arts. While she was at Mount Wachusett Community College she had work-study positions with different departments. She found this to be a convenient way to fit in a job while attending school.
鈥淚鈥檒l go to my classes, then I鈥檒l go to work around lunchtime, go to my classes again, then continue working until whatever time they need,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 just so much easier working at the school so you don鈥檛 have to commute to other places.鈥

鈥淚f you鈥檙e thinking about going to the Mount, I would definitely recommend doing it, for sure. It鈥檚 been one of the best experiences of my life getting my associate degree at the Mount,鈥 Danielle said.
