It’s not bad but there is better

Emma - 10/03/2019

In my opinion for being a community college North Iowa Community College is a good place to be. It is far enough out of town that we have space to do what we want but be able to go to school. The price is better than going to a private or state college and compared to other community colleges I feel safe.

Briana - 02/20/2019

I love NIACC! There is no other college I would prefer to attend! It's completely worth the hour drive every day! I love all my instructors! They are very committed to helping each and every student no matter what the have to do. Even if it means taking time out of school to help a student.

Alannah - 11/22/2018

North Iowa Area Community College has been good to me in the aspect of working with me when life situations got in the way. They not only worked with me when I had to drop out of classes but they have given me a second chance which I am very grateful for!

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I would tell myself two things. First, I would tell myself to be more assertive, if I would have asserted myself more in my first few semesters, I think I would have done much better. I would also tell myself to check more into financial aid, much sooner. Since I did not qualify for some federal aid, I thought my next option was loans. Well I am much smarter about loans and different options available to me as far as aid goes, and I would not be in as much student loan debt if I knew then what I know now.

  11. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about my school is that NIACC has a shortage of teachers due to the economy. NIACC is being forced to cut many teachers and programs. NIACC recently lost their football program because of money problems. The students are greatly affected because a shortage of teachers means that there are less class selections for courses and times in which courses are offered. Also since NIACC has been forced to cut many of their extracurricular activities students are loosing out on opportunities to meet new people and receive the full college experience by getting involved with their scool.
