<p>Does anyone know the closest community colleges? Also, I have no car so if you have any information on the bus situation it would be greatly appreciated. The closest community college my searches have exposed is Holyoke Community College. I am a new transfer student who will begin in spring 2010 and I am just hoping to take a few public speaking classes. I have already maxed out my unit limits for public speaking at MHC and it seems a waste to use my credits at MHC, especially considering the price of units :) Though being out of state it may cost me an arm and a leg at a CC anyways. Thanks for any help students or parents can give.</p>
<p>Why would you take a class at a community college, and have to pay? Chances are good there is some kind of public speaking class at Umass.</p>
<p>Check out the Career Services Center at Mount Holyoke for public speaking classes. Also…the Weisman Center for women and leadership.</p>
<p>At MHC you don’t pay by the unit…so…if something is offered there…take it!</p>
<p>MHC offers a public speaking class. Many courses are speaking intensive (check ISIS) and the SAW (Speaking, Arguing and Writing) Center provides support for them (as well as for writing intensive courses.) I would also suggest looking into the Debate Society.</p>
<p>Holyoke Community College is a wonderful college. There is a PVTA bus (#R25) that goes past MHC to Holyoke Community College. It’s only about 20 minutes away. If you are still looking for a class, you can go to [Holyoke</a> Community College](<a href=“http://www.hcc.edu%5DHolyoke”>http://www.hcc.edu) to see the course catalog, or call Angel Morales in the registrar’s office, 413-552-2998, who could tell you if sections of public speaking classes are still open and what the cost would be.</p>
