Bennett - 09/21/2021

The advisors are very nice and helpful to your education. The professors are nice as well. Be a good student for a good relationship. Many of the professors I took were funny and great, and they helped us study and do well in our exams, quizzes and homework.

chacity - 08/11/2021

North lake college is a safe community college; it has transportation to get to school safely, has safety precautions for covid, and is mandatory for wearing masks to students. Classes are excellent on-campus and online. I am proud that professors are more learning it, and I have time for other things at home and work.

Francesca - 05/27/2020

All of the teachers are absolutely amazing. I never had one bad teacher or one who wasn't committed to teaching their students and making sure they learned. Even online class teachers were committed to all of their students doing well. I really enjoyed my time on campus because of this but there isn't really much else.

Lacquintino - 01/22/2020

I was a student over the summer break and the college was perfect, different from my high school and more interesting, the setting is beautiful and the diversity is just beautiful, different from anything I've ever experienced. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to universities.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back in time to when I was a senior in high school and talk to myself, with the knowledge that I have now about college life, I would tell myself to make sure I paid attention and did my school work. I would say to find my study ways and stick to them. I would also tell myself to take college seriously and focus on why I am there, and not focus on all of the "making friends" and the parties and taking advantage of having the option to skip class. I would tell myself to concentrate and focus on why I was really there., so when I was finished I could move on to bigger and better things, like a career. I would say to think about what I ultimatly want out of college, and make goals to get where I want to be.

  15. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    This is a very small community college, I like that because I come from a small town. The student teacher ratio is about 4 to 1, so you get more personal attention. You're not just a number in a sea of hundreds of students. The tuition is cheaper than most JUCO's because of its size. But, there aren't any dorms, however, many students get together to rent apartments which are very close by and reasonably priced. The Dart train stops at the college and students get discounts for it. They can park & ride the train anywhere they need to go early in the am till late at night. I am very happy to be at North Lake College.
