I was nervous to attend this college three years ago, but I can honestly say it is the best decision I ever made. In a years time I will graduate and the thought of leaving makes my heart hurt. I have learned so much and made so many wonderful connections here.

Small, but nice.
Overall 4
Professors mostly easygoing, kind & knowledgeable. Some classes a joke (for nonmajor locals) but also lots that are life-changing & mind-bending! Buildings are clean, functional, & reno'd inside. Lots of $20 Boston day trips. Fun club activities. Small, fun classes. Hit the deli for yummy subs! Downsides: parking, & limited majors available.
Overall 4
It is a small and tight-knit community. Everyone knows you by name and not a number, which I found refreshing. Excellent school.
Overall 4
The quality of the education is that of a four year college for a fraction of the cost. Even if you are forced to take out loans, it WON'T take you 10 or 20 years to pay them off.

Beautiful campus. Everything is nice and clean. There is a great new arts and science building, complete with plasma screen TVs. All the lounges have nice couches, TV's, usually vending machines or a small snack area. Everyone is very polite.

Small, but great. You get to be close with many people.

NCCC was the first of 3 colleges I've attended. It is no more than an extension of Regional 7. The few talented professors are not respected by students. The rest are too green. Once had a peer talk on her phone through an hour long math class. Nothing was said to her. It's worth the student loans to go to a state university.
