I have attended the school since Fall 2016 until Spring 2020 due to taking classes to save money when I transfer. It is a perfect place to start after high school because it is a great way and place to figure out what you want to do. The tuition is cheap enough to the point where if you apply to financial aid, you could pay off all tuition and have extra leftover. Most of the credits transfer to anywhere! Except for Architecture. The credits only mainly transferred to one college. If you are joining NCC for Architecture, I recommend you save your time and go to an institution that would definitely accept the credits! I am a Computer Science major and all my professors were great. The food is a bit over priced but the flavor is pretty good. There are also food trucks occasionally and I believe on Wednesdays until 2pm there are farmer market stands inside or outside depending on the weather. They include several homemade crafts, products, fresh ingredients, and delicious baked goods.
NCC is exactly what it sounds like: a college built around community. There's a lot to see and do, and a lot of people to meet. You'll come across people everywhere, from a million different backgrounds and places. That's one of the exciting things about being there though: meeting new people. Being a smaller college, I was able to meet new amazing friends and go one-on-one with teachers who really cared about me. As long as you meet the right people, you'll really enjoy the community aspect of Northampton Community College. Just step out! I guarantee it.
In total honesty, I have never been to any other college before this so my experiences aren't as in depth as some other people. My experience at this college was ok at the least, most of the staff were polite and helped you out. Same goes for the professors. Some of the professors will not care about you or your grades, let alone reach out to you or give you proper instruction for your assignments. I only ever had one teacher like this but it was incredibly frustrating to reach her and try to discuss my final grade. ALWAYS search up your professors ratings before signing up for a class.
In terms of student life I felt pretty underwhelmed, there weren't really any huge events on campus that were worthwhile. There's some job fairs and visiting colleges but that's about as good as it gets. I tried to join some clubs after COVID, not many clubs were still around and the few that were open only had few people attending. If you want to make friends try to talk to your classmates.
