    I like NICC because the instructors know their subjects and make understanding it easy for all types of learners. Also, the class sizes are small enough for the teachers to learn their students' names. It has many different trade courses and introductory classes that will transfer to four year colleges throughout Iowa and some Illinois and Wisconsin. However, they are restricted in the amount of higher science and math courses.

    The online courses are amazing here! The professors still keep in touch and try to keep students updated as much as they can. The website is very easy to use and makes the learning much easier.
    I absolutely love it here. The instructors are great and there's always someone around to help. The school feels like an exciting community that I'm apart of. I used to have reservations about community colleges. I assumed they were of lesser quality but I was completely wrong. I'm getting so much more value for my money than I would at a university. I'm almost dreading transferring to a four-year college because I'm worried that I won't get the same amount of personal attention and resources as I do now.
