I like it there, its a good community college and mostly it’s affordable. There are so many different people from all walks of life and the teachers from my experience are very accessible. There are thing to hate on but it is a community college and to my knowledge one of the better ones.

It's a community college, so I knew I wasn't expecting anything great. The classes are good, a lot of the professors teach at other large colleges in the area so you're getting a great education for the price. As for the people, I don't think I should have to worry about getting cat called while walking to class, definitely one of the biggest turn offs about the school is not usually feeling safe. I have a night class and make sure to be on the phone when walking to my car.

Nassau Community College is a good school for those who are unsure of what they want to do in terms of a career and or if they have not done so well in high school. It is a good school to redeem yourself to achieve something in life. However, if you want to have a social college experience then Nassau is not for you because many community colleges like Nassau is a commuter school. People tend to go home and work after classes. I would highly recommend you attend a college that is a 4 year school whereas you will meet many people who will actively engage with you outside of the classroom and many of them are dorming anyway so there's plenty of social things you could get involved in.

I think it can often be hard to formulate your own opinion of the school since it has the unofficial reputation of being the place students who did not do well in high school go. I've heard it referred to as "the thirteenth grade" which ultimately means that some think it is comparable to being two more years of high school. If you are an actual student there, you will know that that is completely false. If you see the good that it does such as providing a cheaper option for an education that matches many four year schools and being a great start for those who wish to transfer to said four year school, then it can be perfect school choice. As great as it is, I will say that I don't always feel extremely motivated, especially beyond the classroom. Some professors, not all, don't have high expectations for their students. It's hard to fall into the trap of "Why should I try to do amazing when I can get by with the bare minimum". That can be combated though by really putting in the effort to make yourself shine. Professors do notice the students who stand out. I do also think to really feel enriched, you would have to get involved in extracurriculars because that is where the pride in the school lies. Overall, I would say that Nassau Community College is a strong college. It's a great building block to help one build a well rounded education.
