I attended the aviation program and was really excited when I first started. The advisor for that program is not good at her job whatsoever. She didn’t know what was going on half the time, telling me that I don’t need to take anymore classes for my degree, and then turns around and says I do. Says I can drop a course and take it someplace else to transfer in, then forgets about that entire conversation. The weather is also not the greatest in northern Michigan for this program. Also not enough planes for the 200 students they have each semester. I wish I would’ve done more research and went somewhere else. But happy I’m getting my degree, and getting out!
My experience at Northwestern community college has been fantastic, the campus is small, and the people are super friendly. I have made a lot of friends, and I've learned a lot from my professors. The campus is beautiful, and the education, at least in the audio technology program, is excellent. My only criticism would be that the cafeteria food gets a little boring later in the semester, which wouldn't be a problem if we were not required to buy a meal plan, but as a first year student on campus, it is a requirement. I think adding more variety in the soup choices and the specials would be a great addition to keep things interesting.
Despite being a smaller and primarily two-year-oriented college, attending NMC has by far been the smartest choice I made as I began my college journey. I know some universities have massive student bodies, but the student population at a community college like NMC is much more manageable for professors and counselors. I can receive much more personable support when I have questions concerning material in my classes or I can easily get into contact with a counselor when I have questions concerning my progress or which courses I need to take. Again NMC is primarily a two-year college, but I plan on using the knowledge I have gained here to succeed in the university I transfer to following completion of my associate degree. The affordability of the courses and the ability to transfer all of my credits to multiple universities throughout the state should be made aware to new high school graduates; while a four-year university is enticing, take advantage of community college resources
