North Central College is great. If you are a conservative, white individual that lives within 30 miles of the campus, refuses to give up high school sports, doesn't want to venture far from what is comfortable, doesn't like being academically challenged, and desires to enter the workforce as a PE teacher or athletic trainer.

Campus- Naperville is a great upscale suburb to raise a family in. It is clearly not a college town.

Student Body- While you have a few examples of students that are truly talented at everything, the large majority are here to play a sport and earn a sports-related degree. People rave about NCC's powerhouse sports program; and perhaps for division 3, it's good. Unfortunately, they can't fill a stadium on homecoming, and most athletes are reliving their high school glory days as they quietly accept their inability to play division 1.

Academics- The classes are pretty hard, unless you know your alphabet and can count to 100. Truly, if you are intelligent, look for a school with a more rigorous academic program. I am currently earning two majors and three minors, and I'm bored.

Social Life- No greek life. Over half of the school commutes. Three social groups: Theater, Athletes, Weird kids. I hope you like going to two room house parties packed with 100 students, while getting the cops called on you by local residents.

Professors- The one perk with NCC is the faculty. They are well educated, highly qualified, and super accessible. It is great that they get to know students by first name, and they genuinely enjoy teaching. Unfortunately, NCC has elected to make professors among the lowest paid on campus—a testament to the culture of the school.

In summation and in all seriousness, this school is not an environment for someone that values academics. After being a four year varsity athlete in high school, I decided it was time to grow up and get ready for the rest of my life in college. North Central is not a school that will challenge a student to learn, grow, and achieve. My unfortunate experience at this school is not a result of my lack of going out of my way to develop a holistic college experience. Many people say that those who dislike NCC simply didn't try to turn it into something great. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and the low retention rate exemplifies this. However, possessing a brain, desiring to achieve, and wanting to have a normal college experience is absolutely my fault.
