NIACC is a perfect school for high school graudates who are interested in living in dorms at a community college. For me, it wasn't too far from home, but far enough where I didn't drive back and forth to classes everyday. Excellent community college!
Bad reviews
Overall 1.1
Not a very nice place for studies, surrounded by fields, and not so friendly atmosphere. Do not recommend
Overall 1.3
Chicken tenders and pizza for food, uncaring instructors, cramped dorms, dorms a mile away from class and you have to walk in the snow, library looks like it’s from the 60s, corn fields all around, nothing to do, and most classes could be self taught so why am I paying thousands of dollars for this?

don't go there

Some instructors are good but many of them are pretty terrible and have no business teaching. If you plan on going here first and then transferring, you are probably better off going straight to an actual university. Campus is very bland and there just isn't much going on here. Overall it feels almost like an extension of high school.
