The New Hampshire Institute of Art was absorbed by NEC the year I transferred, so I was one of the last students to receive a laptop included in my tuition without raising the cost. I appreciated NHIA for the "real world application" perspective of their courses, and it's nice being able to get a non-art-related minor at NEC, but I feel as though the bottom-line is more about profit than student success. They'll accept students of any ability, won't challenge them for 4 years, then happily charge them almost $20,000 in tuition without a guarantee. I am disappointed in the drop in standards and the lack of resources.
Campus is being upgraded a large amount so I think D- is a little harsh. They are building a completely new athletic facility, building new learning buildings, and potentially building a brand new dorm They just also had a merger with another college in Manchester. The food is ok but its what you would expect from a college overall. The cafes on campus are very good and not too pricy especially if you get the $300 flex cash plan. Athletics are very average in my opinion but then again they are building a new facility so i wouldn't be so worried about it. Campus safety isn't too strict but I do feel very safe on campus even when it is dark out. The acceptance rate isn't right either ive had a few friends in certain circumstances get denied but it also isn't very hard to get accepted. Professors are very good and actually act like they care about the students. Party scene is ok you just gotta know the right people but if you dont then dont expect too much.
New England College is more of a high school experience rather than a college experience. The biggest problems about this school are its campus and location. A lot of the buildings are outdated, the roads throughout the school are unpaved, and there isn't much to do on campus. Not only that but the school is in the middle of nowhere. If you would ever want to shop, go to a restaurant, or go to the movies you would have to drive over twenty minutes. The only reason you should attend this college is if you wanted to focus on academics. If you are looking for a real college experience don't come here!
