The Safest College in Massachusetts is the 2nd Safest in America

I look back fondly at my college days. I attended two Massachusetts schools including Berkshire Community College (BCC) in Pittsfield for my first two years and then attended Westfield State University (then Westfield State College) where I received my B.A. in Mass Communications. Both colleges are excellent Massachusetts colleges in my opinion.

During college, I spent much of my time at both locations working on audio and video production-type projects. Whether it was producing some role-play skits in the business world, creating music videos, or producing and recording public service announcements and spec commercials, audio and video production studios are where you could find me on many days and nights, particularly at Westfield. Another aspect that I loved at Westfield is that I was able to have a show on the college's radio station WSKB/89.5FM. That station was one of my first tastes of radio. I loved it.

The other aspect that made both BCC and Westfield strong and attractive to me is that they were both safe campuses. They weren't too big and the college community provided a friendly atmosphere at both locations. Without question, it was very much a stress-free time during my younger years.
