Categories Comments Great for these types of students All types. It has Vocational Majors to Liberal Majors.
Tips for prospective students Look for your classrooms that you have signed up for because being that lost guy on your first day of classes is embarrassing.
Bang for the buck Its cheap and affordable.
Am enjoying being here I love being at NMCC because everybody stays to themselves and the atmosphere of the school is peaceful so that you can focus on your school work. It is an all around good place to be,
Am learning a lot Northern Maine Community College (NMCC) is smaller than most colleges which allows for more one-on-one with teachers and students. The resources that this school offers to help the students understand pretty much all fields is a greatly used. They will help in every possible way.

Categories Comments What to do for fun there is a ton of things to do for fun, every once and a while they have a bingo night for anybody to go in and win prizes the ra's always have activities going on and are posted on every entrance door so you don't miss out on the fun.
Food and Dining the food is great,my favorite is the chicken burgers they make with there secret sauce.
Dorm Life dorm life is good everybody gets along well.
Academic Rigor use your time wisely and go to open labs every chance you have to catch up or get ahead of the class. you will have a better outcome at the end of the year and if you have trouble with a class i suggest that you go to the academic success center for a tutor.
Tips for prospective students you just have to keep your head up even when you fail a test because the first semester is the hardest until you get to know your instructors and how they test you and the way everything works.
In three sentences northern maine community college is a great college, it's a great environment to be around most everybody gets along and works together to get problems solved. the food hear is great and one of the cleanest colleges i have been to. the athletics here aren't so great but they are starting to get better.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is a very safe place.
Clubs and Activities There are many clubs and activities on campus.
Great for these types of students NMCC is great for students looking to get an associates degree in two years. You can also start off in liberal studies until you get in to the program you want, getting some of the core classes done.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a great nursing lab and an amazing simulation lab for nurses. They host lots of campus entertainment, such as film night.
Bang for the buck Research the cost of the program you want to pursue. It is very affordable.
What to do for fun Northern Maine is a great place for outdoor activities year round. Big Rock is nearby for downhill skiing.
Food and Dining The cafeteria offers very good food with a variety of choices. The bookstore also offers quick meals such as soups, sandwiches and salads.
Dorm Life I haven't stayed in the dorms myself, but the students say they are very comfortable
Academic Rigor The Registered Nursing Program is challenging. It requires dedication and hard work. Take advantage of resources available to help students.
Tips for prospective students Keep track of paperwork needed to apply and where you are in the process (this applies to all schools). Keep a folder with all needed information. Complete paperwork in a timely fashion.
In three sentences NMCC is dedicated to helping students succeed with multiple resources, including mentoring, tutoring and an Academic Success Center. The teachers are knowledgeable and helpful. There are many programs to choose from.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security on campus 24/7, definately feel secured.
Greek Life Again, another question that I cannot answer, since I commute.
Clubs and Activities Again, another question that I cannot answer, since I commute.
Great for these types of students Great for students that either want to commute, or for those that are not quite ready for a big campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I am not on campus really long enough to answer this.
Bang for the buck Books seem a little high to me but everything else seems to be fair.
What to do for fun Walmart, mall and resturaunts are nearby.
Food and Dining All you can eat buffet for a decent price, need I say more?
Dorm Life I commute so I cannot respond to this.
Academic Rigor Academically, any subject is challenging, but not to worry if you don't understand, instructors and students alike are willing to lend a helping hand.
Tips for prospective students I would recommend attending a community college over a university any day. A community college is more personable and easier to learn to navigate.
In three sentences Northern Maine Community College is a small college but offers a wide variety of majors and subjects. I would recommend this college to anyone. Ninety-nine percent of the faculty and staff are very helpful, understanding and upbeat!
