    When choosing Northern Essex Community College, I couldn't help but be swayed by the cost to attend for an entire year. The typical cost of attendance per year is about $4000. That is at almost one tenth of what other colleges cost. Also, most professors try to find the most reasonably priced books so that students are able to afford them.

    Northern Essex is an excellent way to obtain a well-rounded education without breaking the bank. It is also great way to get a taste of a particular major and then transfer to a 4-year school.

    You can't beat the low tuition. You will receive a good education at a fraction of what it will cost if you go to a four-year college. I am glad to have decided to come here.
