What Students Are Saying

a great school that offers many opportunities to all of its students. the staff shows a lot of support to all of the students. they also offer many different ways to help students that are having trouble in classes and wish to receive help in order to get better grades.
Maegan from Whitehall, PA
northampton community college is a place where learning is encouraged. professors don't sit in the front of class and read off of power-points, they engage students and change the learning process. also, class sizes are small (usually under 40) so you are more than just a number to teachers, they actually know your name.
