Review of New England School of Communications

from Unity, ME

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am studying Video Production. This industry is constantly coming out with new and better equipment and NESCom is always right up there with them. The students are taught on the best equipment and by teachers who have been out in the field and know what they're doing and teaching. The thing that I enjoy about the NESCom classes are that even if you are a video student, you can take classes in Marketing, or Journalism or Theatre, or Photography or whatever, you can fine-tune your education to what you want to learn.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love the small, close-knit community feel of NESCom. Everyone knows everyone else. The students support each other and are always willing to help out in their projects. With such a small teacher to student ratio, you get to know them on a personal level and they take an interest in how you're learning and doing with school. All NESComers have pride in what they do and their school; it is obvious that we all love being here.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

For being a private college and having all of the high tech equipment what we do, the bang for the buck is pretty banging. Tuition is roughly $12,000 a year (w/o room and board) and considering all of the equipment that we're learning and training on, and all of what we're learning, that's an awesome price!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure you get an interview and a tour! The tour of the school, seeing all of the equipment and seeing the current students in action is definitely what sealed the deal for me.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

NESCom is the school for creative students who are driven and want to get the most out of their education. Here at NESCom, you will learn a lot in whatever field you decide to major in: after graduation (or even during school!) you'll be productive on Day 1 of your new job in your field.
