First thing to say about NCC: it's a COMMUNITY COLLEGE, so you're not going to get the four-year experience. A lot of people (of different age groups) come here to save money, attend certificate programs, or just to get an Associate's so they can get a job later on.

Cost: I highly recommend going to a community college before committing to a four-year school since it's a LOT cheaper than big-name institutions. It's great for experimenting with academics, especially if you don't know what you want to study. My tuition was less than 3.5k, while my friends at SHU are paying 35k.

Major/Academics: I'm currently a fine arts major and I'm enjoying my classes. The art department is great and the faculty have been wonderful. Signing up for classes can be tough though: first come, first serve (usually). Teachers are honestly a hit or miss…but most have been fairly good.

The food: terrible. A lot of people complain about food at four year colleges but I doubt it's anything like NCC's. Advice: bring your own lunch or go off campus to eat.

Social life: is non-existant here. Like I said, it's a commuter school so people just go in, take their classes, and leave. A lot of students work part-time so they don't join clubs or activities (which are pretty lame tbh). Most kids who stick around campus come from low-income families and work blue collar jobs. Very diverse, though.

All in all, NCC is defnitely a good place to go if you want to get back into the swing of college or starting out. It has a ton of academic programs and it's much better financially than most (or all) colleges.
