    There is alot of old material that is being taught. Personally I would like to learn about the now, not the foundations. I understand that the foundations are necessary but if we waste a whole semester on the foundation what are we really learning?

    Considering scholarships and work-study paid for all of my tuition, I definitely got a lot of bang for my buck. NIACC is pretty inexpensive when it comes to education, and is a great place to receive an education. If you're considering going to NIACC, apply for as many scholarships as you can, and work! You can be debt free after two years at NIACC.

    I was able to graduate from NIACC with out any student loans. NIACC makes it very easy to pay for your classes and will accept any scholarships or financial aid. They also have many work study opportunities for in pocket money or for money to go towards your tuition.

    In the three semesters I have spent at NIACC, I have only taken one class that I didn't think was worth my time and money. NIACC also has several 2-year programs available for students. They also have a lot of classes that will transfer to most universities.
