I started NCC last Tuesday, I already feel comfortable and feel like they are family now. You can pull your feelings out and they listen, you can ask for help and they are coming to help. I even told them I fight with dyslexia and no judgment from them at all. This school is like being around kind people I use not ever meet before and my life. First school that really cares about your dreams and goals. Thank, and pray I make it through with you all by my side.

Scott is absolutely amazing! Scott was not my original financial advisor. My mother is going to school at the same time as me and is a previous graduate and Scott is her advisor , and she mentioned to him that I was having issues with my financial aid, so she sent his info to me. I contacted him regarding the issues, and he fixed everything for me! Now I’m getting the maximum Pell grant offered when I originally was going to get nothing. I’m thankful for Scott and the school for being able to get everything set up and fixed for me to start school in April. Scott is hands down the nicest guy I have had the pleasure of meeting so far at this school. And if it wasn’t for Mr. Charles I probably would not have enrolled at the school , so shout out to him as well. Mr Charles worked really hard to convince me that this was an important next step for me and my child, and I’m so grateful for that as well.

I cannot speak for the quality of instruction. If I leave reviews it’s mainly so a school can improve what they are doing in hopes that someone hears what I have to say, & hopefully it plants a seed of change in there head.
I spoke with admissions to talk about there process since I’ve spoken to a couple of different colleges . The lady told me , that I first have to get accepted and pay the $100 and then I can talk to fafsa (dead skull
Emoji.) I don’t think it’s okay to do that ? It should be the opposite ? Because what if the student doesn’t like certain payment plans with this college but they like the plans with another college ? why collect money first , have them go through testing, pay a fee , first , & then speak with FAFSA ? It’s time & literal money that students are giving up . It’s the students that make the school run , not the other way around. students should be able to speak with fafsa even without making a payment. Right after I said, how I felt about the process, the lady hung up. I think her name was Judy . I thought it was a little rude that the call suddenly dropped after saying how I felt? I know that the school sees us as a walking ATM, but atleast act like you care. End the call with some like, “we’ll be here if you change your mind.” They want to do interviews over here to see a students integrity, how about you test the integrity of the admissions team before you test students. We are not just walking ATM’s.
