NCC is a community college, therefore it only has commuter students. It's mainly a school for people who work or want to get Associate degrees in order to get a job. Keep that in mind: it's not the same as a traditional four year school. That being said, it does have a lot to offer.

Academics: It really depends on your major, but I've had really good experiences at NCC when it comes to my education. Teachers are honestly a hit or miss, but in the Arts department, it's been great. My advisor is great, and I love the classes the school offers.

Social Scene: Not great. Like I said, it's a commuter school so the social scene is non-existent. Most kids work part time or just take 2 classes and leave. Nobody here is really trying to make friends, only taking classes to get to a different school. There are clubs but they aren't all that legit.

Food: Terrible. Some advice to give you: bring your own lunch if you can. Or eat off campus. The food is basically McDonalds, "college style".

Campus: Not fabulous but not terrible. The West Campus is a lot nicer than the East Campus since it has better facilities and classrooms. But all in all, the campus is average to below average (compared to other campuses I've seen).

Financially: PERFECT. Seriously. Go to community college to get credits and THEN transfer to a four year school to save money! My tuition for last year was 3.5k while I have friends who are paying 35k. It's so much cheaper and smarter to take classes at an affordable price than to waste money on a school you'll end up leaving.

All in all, NCC is perfect for anyone who needs a few extra credits or wants to go back to school and graduate with an Associate's Degree. I highly recommend it for first year students.
