In three sentences | Great, affordable, encouraging |
Tips for prospective students | Be proactive, involve yourself in the student life activities, they usually have gift give away. There's a some student employment available so I recommend you to look into that if you want to make some extra money while going to college. |
Dorm Life | This is a Technical College, so most of the people going here live at home. Most of the international students live at the UW Marathon dorms, NTC has an agreement with them and they provide the dorms and there's a bus that goes from UW Marathon to NTC back and forth. |
Food and Dining | The cafeteria has an awesome salad bar, food is affordable and very good. they have a variety, and once in a while they give free samples to students. |
What to do for fun | There's a cyber cafe next to the cafeteria, Student life has air hockey, play stations, TV's, Pool, Ping pong and those tables of mini soccer. NTC also has a wellness center so If you want to stay in shape it's free for staff members and students. |
Bang for the buck | I believe the cost of the tech is very reasonable, all the teachers I have had are awesome, you learn a lot for sure! |
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus | Student life does events once in a while that I think not all colleges do, for example we had a Dr. Seuss birthday party! |
Great for these types of students | Great for students who want to save money, for those older people that wants to go back to school, for those who don't like going to campus, for those who likes going to campus. I think this college integrates students needs very well. |
Clubs and Activities | There are several clubs and activities available |
Campus Safety | NTC has its own ambulance, and security is very nice, they have the public safety students going around most of the time and they do a pretty good job |

In three sentences | Northcentral Technical College is very helpful. I also like the gym, because it helps keep me active. It is a great place to earn a college degree. |
Tips for prospective students | Try to think about what you want to do before you decide to go back to school. My best advice is to wait a year after high school before going back to school, because it can really help you make the right decision. |
Academic Rigor | This is a great school and everyone is helpful in making sure you are taken care of for you education needs. |
Dorm Life | This is a technical school/college, so I am not sure there are actually any dorms on campus. |
Food and Dining | I have heard the food and dining is great, though I personally haven't had the opportunity to try it myself. |
What to do for fun | On campus I know there is a gym and a library. I am not sure what else is going on, but I know the campus offers social events and other events to get students involved. |
Bang for the buck | I would say that this school is definitely worth going to and is cheaper than other colleges in town, and they are accredited in more than others also. |
Campus Safety | I would say the campus is one of the safest I have been on, and or around. There is security guards on campus, and it is a drug and gun free campus. |
