Review of Northern Oklahoma College

from Blackwell, OK

Describe your college in three sentences.

Northern Oklahoma College is a great college! The teachers are always understanding and helpful. NOC is cheap and affordable!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

For incoming students, I would recommend getting enrolled early! Classes fill up fast, and no one wants to be put in an unneeded class that does not relate to their major! Get involved in as many things as possible, NOC has all kinds of events throughout the year for students to get involved!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

There is always a tougher teacher than the others! Most teachers at NOC are very understanding and helpful! Being an athlete i missed a lot of classes, but all of my teachers were helpful when i asked! Now, they won't just hand you the answers you have to do your own work, but if you pay attention to them, they often give you the right place to look!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I commuted, but all of my friends did! They were always telling me funny stories about the things they did! NOC has many activities to keep you busy, the swimming pool, volleyball courts and the wellness center were always filled with students!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Picture the lunch lady with a hair net, and a furry mole? Not at all! At NOC all the lunch ladies were nice and clean! There was never a dull moment in the cafeteria!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

After a long day of classes, many students would relax in the pool, or play a pick up game of basketball in the wellness center! NOC hosts the NOC Olympics once a year, this is where NOC Tonkawa competes with NOC Enid! There are volleyball, rock climbing, dodge ball, basketball and obstacle course competitions! Be involved in this!

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

NOC is very cheap and affordable! One thing I learned, even though some of the classes say you need a book, there were some classes that i never opened mine! Wait a week or two before you know for sure! No one wants to spend money on an expensive book if they don't have to!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

NOC Olympics, once a year both NOC campuses come together for a great time of fun and exciting bedlam games! Spring Fling, outside of the bookstore there is a rock wall, a mechanical bull and many other activities for students to get involved! My favorite was the paintball wars! Halloween Dance, everybody loves to dress up! Get your best costume and lets go dancing! In the gym with extremely loud music and many students! Have the best costume and win money for the bookstore!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

NOC is great for all types of students! Teachers are very understanding for all athletes and their schedules. There is specifically a building for all nursing students! Fine arts are publicized all over campus and their hard work and shows!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

NOC has many clubs to be involved in, Bible Study (boys and girls), Maverick Magic, Roustabouts, Band, Choir, Athletics, President's Leadership Council and many more!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

NOC does not do Greek life

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There is always a security guard walking around campus!
