The professors here are very good at keeping the class entertained and engaged. They are sure to include relevant pop culture to grab your attention on a subject. Just the other day a professor used Titanic to help describe the Greek tragedy, Antigone. The class is hardly ever bored and the information is interesting enough to be retained and used in our everyday lives. Most college professors lecture, but here they have the students going to work in their community and getting out there while also doing fun activities and group projects in class.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Though NCU is a small school, it has some diverse characters both in it's students and staff. The dorms are amazing, the best I have yet to see and the co-ed living makes students feel more comfortable without being distracted. But for those times you want to be distracted the downstairs lounge is a fun place to meet people. Being next to the U of O campus you still get to meet new people everyday and explore the area. Plus the awesome restaurants around NCU are great hang out or study spots.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
NCU is one of the more expensive schools, but it is definitely worth it. The professors are top notch, catering to each student's needs as the class sizes are small. Everyone here is really friendly and helpful, eager to get to know you. It's also very easy to become involved in the school since there are so many clubs being created every year. With your tuition you even get free laundry services and credit in the campus cafe, which makes the best smoothies around. Everything that NCU provides their students cancels out the costs.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Prospective students should realize that they don't just have to stay in the little campus of NCU, but explore all around or even drive with a friend to have other adventures. It can get a little claustrophobic if you only remain on campus the whole year, so getting out there is a good solution. Joining a club or a mission trip is an easy way to do this.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
NCU is great for students who would like one-on-one time with their professors and like working with other students. The number of students is just over 600, so the class sizes themselves average around 25 students, making it easy for the professors to get to know you personally and make time for you and your classroom needs. Your peers learn plenty about you as well. It's nice to have them know your name with your face, rather than just seeing your name on a paper every time an assignment is turned in. If you want to form a educational relationship with your professors, maybe even obtain a mentor in the process, NCU is the school for you.
