Nice campus / Great teachers

A quaint little school that packs a big punch. Henniker is a beautiful town. Every college has its faults... but at NEC, you are sure to get a high-quality education!

Field hockey team is disrespectful. Everyone at this school either smoke pot and cheat on their gf/bf, or just dont have anything going for them. Public safety is a joke here. School is run down and disgusting. Many STD's/ STI's that get passed around and everyone is miserable

It's been almost a year since I graduated from NEC & I have been happy as a clam. The students were extremely rude & immature. The food was disgusting & many of the faculty members were not helpful & most of the dorms are outdated & disgusting & most of the buildings are also disgusting.

They sell the school very well. It is very well advertised and they talk a good talk. But once you get here and see what its like, it sucks. Poor food, poor student life, and outdated dorms. So not worth 45K. Im transfurring to Keene State College.

It's small, but because of that, everyone knows each other's business. In and around the campus is a very small town, with not much to do if you don't have a car. Food is really bad. The campus itself is pretty lame. Small and ugly and the dorms are TERRIBLE!! Overall, you are better off being a commuter.

The food ain't worth the price, the boys here are players, it's nice if you like nature, it's easy to pass honestly.
Overall 1.9
Boring. Middle of no where, I was more challenged at a community college. Night life sucks, food sucks, some professors are decent but most of the education is way too easy. I do not feel challenged. If you want a fun college experience, don't come here! Everyone is miserable.

This school sucks, if you have an issue it does not get solved.

Biggest problem for me is safety. Freshman year my roommate stole over $400 worth of my property and campus safety did nothing but ask for her name. If that wasn't bad enough when an issue of assault was brought to them I was advised to do nothing as he was on a sports team. Dorms gross. All they care about is taking your money.
