North Central is great! The location is great, they have some very good music and production programs that are hard to find elsewhere, and the culture is really good. The staff and facility are great to work with and very helpful. Graduates for North Central that I have meet have also been great. The band is also really good.
Overall, I have enjoyed my time at North Central. I was involved in two years of full-time PSEO at the school, and am now a full-time undergrad student with three semesters of work left. The environment is very nice; students, faculty, and professors are very easy to work and get along with. The campus is located a couple blocks out of downtown Minneapolis, so it is a beautiful setting. The school also has an extremely good business program, with many students able to find jobs immediately out of school because of the connections and skills they learn in the School of Business. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a smaller, private school in the Minneapolis area; it is well worth the investment!
I personally am very happy with the time I have spent at North Central University. Overall, I do not have any complaints. The time I have been at North Central has been as a commuter. And in regards to life at North Central as a commuter I do believe there is a need for growth, but since I started I have seen efforts to change the lack of opportunities we receive. Such examples are social events being during later hours and constant information being brought not only to those who live on campus, but those who do not.
Even so, the staff at North Central are what I always tell people make the experience the best for me. They are kind, intelligent, willing to hear all opinions, and genuinely care about the education you receive. They give the best education I could have asked for and every dollar that comes out of my pocket worth the investment of receiving my education at North Central University.
