There are self-directed students who will succeed in almost any academic environment, and then there are those who require personal attention and a bit of complementary and supplemental support. In my experience, New England College accommodates both types with ease. From the prospective of academics, NEC will not disappoint, but you must be willing to work hard for distinction and avoid the common pitfalls applicable to all college students, ie: disengagement, failure to perform, apathy, substance abuse etc. I'm not a typical student from a social prospective, but my experience tells me that students at this college are friendly, insightful, supportive, and interesting. The faculty/staff/administration are equally so.

My grades were always a top priority, and to be completely honest, I probably had a few "better" options in terms of networking and distinctions. In any case, I never regret my decision for a second. I'm proud of graduating from New England College and I'm pleased with the opportunities the education has afforded me. It might not be for everyone, but for the those of us that fit in, it is the best possible choice.
