This college dives directly into your major so there's no wasting time. Money is a struggle no matter where you go but by far this is the most affordable school in New England for technical majors. The environment is great and the teachers are very relatable.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
For new students I would recommend having the money ready to buy books BUT DON'T BUY THEM BEFORE THE QUARTER STARTS. Mostly this applies to the general courses such as math and english because more than likely you will not use them very much, if at all. The library has a lot of school books on reserve for you to borrow to save hundreds of dollars. The books that are for the classes in your major wouldn't hurt you to buy ahead of time because a lot can be used as reference later on in life but it's still a good idea to wait until the teacher confirms you will need the book for the course.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The courses start out light but will get harder like anywhere else. They aren't too difficult that they can't be done but because the quarters are only 10 weeks at a time you may only have a class 10 times before its over. That means there is a lot of time you must do work outside of class and ask questions immediately if you don't understand. Don't be afraid to ask for help, it's worse to not ask and fall behind than to ask and seem silly. The teachers are very willing and available to help outside of class.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
This is more of a personal opinion rather than fact. Some people like the way that living is set up and some don't. NEIT does NOT have dorms but they do connect students in similar majors with landlords in the area. The school does not take part in paying for your apartment or bills unless you have the student loans set up to cover them. This means most students have jobs as well as going to school. However, even as a full time student is it doable and the experience is very enriching.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafeteria is a really nice place to eat or even just meet with friends. The food however is a little pricy for what you get. To compensate for this there are many places such as Dave's Market, Panera Bread, Starbucks, fast foods etc. very close to the school so if you have a break you can go get cheaper foods.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The school does not have sports teams but they do have some clubs and groups related to majors and some that are simply based on interests. The town also offers many places to enjoy some downtime.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This education is very worth the money spent. Unlike traditional Universities students at NEIT will immediately begin working in their Major the first quarter they enroll. There are still general education courses that must be taken but they are along side the Major courses. The general courses also for the most part relate in some ways to your Major so that the skills learned there can be applied to your career later on.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is best for students who are motivated, engaged in education, have a passion for anything, and want a good education because they care not just because they are forced to go to college. Students who like to work in smaller classes rather than lecture halls will also enjoy NEIT.
