NCC is a great campus that goes unappreciated by many. We have tons of resources you just have to look or listen to the many staff who try and direct you to them every chance they get. There are always a ton of events and activities on and off of campus too.

I love this college of Law. Network opportunities are amazing i have met several judges in the halls of the classrooms. The Law campus has its own small cafeteria and the food is pretty good.

If Central focused on getting their students their Refund checks in a timely manner, and put money into the actual facilities instead of lining admins pockets, they would have a much better school. 2/3 of this school needs rebuilt and cleaned. Not being harsh just holding standards for my 4500 dollar/semester tuition.

It's an okay university. Some of the professors care, some of the professors don't. You make the most out of the experience.
