Intellectual paradise? Oh, pleaseee :) Most of the students in my math class didn't even know how to calculate a simple percentage problem. Algebra is of course on a higher-education level. Most of the classes have an open book exams, or teachers will give you questions in advance. And yet, just to prove my point of what kind of 'intellectuals' attend this school, a lot of students will get bad grades or will have no clue how to prepare for the test. I attended the Chicago 'campus' which can be kind of scary at nights, especially in winters. Security is a joke and they are there just to watch the American Idol. When people double park you, they just say: "Oh, well, it happens a lot. Just wait." (for TWO hours?!). Bathrooms are usually out of paper and soap, an idea of a 'meal' is a vending machine. Even though they try to be health concious about it in the last year, the selection in the machines is still pretty bad. School administration is pretty bad about listening to the students' needs and most of the time they give out the crazy schedule which does not serve to the working commute student body (99% of NBC). When you try to 'make' your own class, they ignore you. I know a lot of people who could not graduate on time because of this. Oh, and here's also the 'rotating schedule', which is another evil way of NBC getting money out of students. This means, that some classes are only offered twice, or once a year (at ridiculous hours). If you miss it, too bad. They know how bad that is, so, most of the time they're trying to bribe people with some cheap and nasty food at the school 'events'. Well, there are some good sides in this school, too. Classes are small and you get a lot of attention from the teachers. They know you by name and most of the time they are really friendly and approachable. NBC is a commuter school and it should not be an option for the young student seeking a higher education. It might seem like a good cheap start towards the 4yr college, but believe me it is not. They have been raising the tuition for the last few years, and they charge fees for just breathing in the building. It will cost you about $16k (full-time, 12hrs), and the private 4ys schools start at $19. You do the math. International students- stay away! They have no idea about your needs. Most of the time you'll be on your own, trying to figure out stuff about your status. They have no brochures for you, just a few dry lines in the school manual which are far from helpful. I've heard so many horror stories. Surrounding City: A+, Education Quality: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

There is absolutely no student life; teachers are decent, but students are there more for the degree and not for the knowledge. If you're an adult student with a busy schedule looking for AD you might want to consider it. Younger students- do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

I can not use the dual certification in Phlebotomy/EKG in the field, because the school does not partner with ANY hospital.So the current student may gain experience in a hospital setting. Employers WILL NOT HIRE YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE IN A HOSPITAL SETTING ACCOMPANIED WITH YOUR THEORY HOURS(eg. SOUTH SUB.-MORAINE VALLEY)so when they tell you lifetime placement, that why it will take a lifetime( pertaining to those two certification) better luck w/ NURSING and RADIOLOGY(just joking, LOOK some where else to obtain certification and a higher education, the school is a rip-off.

I came in as a working class kid willing and ready to assert the dream for higher education, and the inspiring student body and accessible faculty have shaped my goals into concrete plans for further education. I would recommend this school to assertive and self-driven students who aren't afraid to have fun and laugh (at themselves) once in awhile. This place can be your intellectual paradise, your opportunity to meet diverse and incredible people from around the world. Extracurricular Activities: A+, University Resource Use: C Have a Question?
