I enjoyed almost all of my classes; the instructors were helpful, explained things clearly, and made learning easy! My favorite classes were the Administrative Assistant/IT ones and my Spanish classes.
Did enjoy being here
While I didn't use the main campus in Norfolk, every time I went there people were friendly and helpful, I didn't feel like I was bugging anyone when I needed help. I would give 10 stars to the West Point education center, they are super nice, friendly, helpful, and if they don't know the answer they know who to contact!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Totally worth every penny I spent here! I got sticker shock when looking at colleges to transfer too, NECC must be one of the last Nebraskan colleges with a per semester credit hour cost of under $100! (As of August, 2011)
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Ask lots of questions, especially of your advisor. Don't just plan by semester like I did, make a two-year game plan so you don't have anything come back to bite you when/if you transfer to another college. Also, don't take the bookstore prices for granted, do your research! I've saved so much $$ from renting books online and buying used.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Motivated, self-diciplined students can whiz through the gen-ed's by taking CLEP (College Level Examination Program) tests, administered by the College Board through NECC's test center. It's a great money and time saver; I got through my first 2 years of college in just 17 months!
