Excellent community college and also an excellent place to work. You get treated like family.

I received my AA degree from NIACC before my BA in psychology and human services. My gen ed classes were all out of the way when I enrolled for my BA and applicable gen ed classes applied toward my BA degree. I saved a lot of money going to NIACC first, in addition to the benefit of smaller class sizes and instructors that really cared about me and my outcome.

Neat campus. We saw Rent there and were impressed with the performing arts building and staff. Comfortable seats! Easy parking and close proximity to town too. Great job NIACC!

It was the best Barber shop concert ever that I've attended, the chorus and Quartets were outstanding I took a friend that has never attended a show before and she was blown away by the performance can't wait for the next one!!!!🤗😊 …

The hiset program needs work. The teacher's like to teach the same materials over and over and over again (expecting a different result). Then they expect you out of their program with in three months; now mind you teaching the same materials and or only one subject and expecting you to pass a test they haven't properly taught or not taught at all. Very disappointed with the hiset program. I will give credit where credit is due. They really do care about their turn over rate.

Atttended NIACC in the 90s to get my Gen Ed out of the way before transferring. Was a great value at the time, my credits transferred easily, and I loved the campus. Have recommended NIACC to many others over the years.

Teresa is great! My instructor was good also. The moped class was easy to get through and was fun in the process. Thank you!

Was not that great in my experience, but only because colleges require way too many general education classes. I had some good teachers, but many of whom that should not be teaching anymore. Really just is not worth the money.

NIACC Nursing school was exceptional. It's made me who I am. NIACC revolutionized my life.

I called strictly to find out if my desired classes were elligable for financial aid, the individual I spoke with on the phone has ZERO customer service. she was extremely rude and even hung up on me before even completing the conversation. No help what do ever. I will be looking for education else where.
