    Morning classes really are the best to take. You're able to go three or more times per week and have the best shot to have less in the class for better concentration. Evening classes tend to be larger, thus less time to speak with the professor on a one-on-one basis. Night classes are also longer and meet one or two times per week.
    Am enjoying being here

    I'm at the Corinth campus and live in Lewisville, so the commute is fairly decent. The staff is very helpful as far as admissions, tuition, and financial aid go. I was and still am extremely fortunate to attend NCTC.
    Bang for the buck

    For Fall 2008, Spring 2009, and now Fall 2009, my tuition is under, right at, or a little over $1,000. Used books are recommended if saving money is your goal.
    Tips for prospective students

    Buy used books. New textbooks are twice as much and really not worth buying for just one semester. Plan out each year's classes well in advanced and register early to snag a spot in each class you plan on taking. Mark your calendars for the book buy-backs which land at the end of each semester. Go for any scholarships you find and try your best to steer clear of loans.
    Great for these types of students

    For any future students, NCTC is inexpensive close-by for anyone in the DFW area. NCTC is an excellent two-year school to start off for students wishing to either get their Associate's or transfer to a four-year university.

    NCTC is a great place to be. Since the classes are smaller than other universities you are able to get one on one help with your professors which benefits a lot because you are able to learn a lot more and ask questions. The library has lots of resources for students anything from books, newspapers, magazines to computers, printers scanners. Anything you need the library has got it to help the students learning experience more beneficial and fun!
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is splendid. There are outside benches to study on and get some sunshine or fresh air. The teachers and even the students are all friendly. It is a very warm and welcomeing place to be.
    Bang for the buck

    Everything is priced at an affordable rate. Classes are usually one thousand dollars or under depending how many you decide to take. Very good price range.
    Tips for prospective students

    There are many study groups for the hardest classes like Anatomy and Physiology and College Algebra it is a good idea to get involved with those because they really benefit. Students can also get involved with the Student Success center which helps students reach their highest goals while having fun at the same time.
    Great for these types of students

    NCTC is great for any type of student. You can get all your basic classes done at an affordable cost in just two years. It is also a good place for students to get their associates degree before moving on to get a bachelors degree. No matter what you are interested in NCTC has something for everyone.

    It is a small college, great for getting one on one time with instructors. The campus is easy to navigate and the faculty is very friendly. North Central Texas College is a great place for students to start their education if they are not certain on the degree that they want.
    Tips for prospective students

    I recommend that potential students register early for the classes that that they would like. The classes are small therefore they fill up quickly.
    Academic Rigor

    The proffessors here are very respectable, and most of them are very flexible and fair with helping you. I am only apart of the Visual Arts Club but am no part of an academic team.
    Dorm Life

    I understand that NCTC has dorms, but I am unaware of what they are like because I do not live in them.
    Food and Dining

    NCTC also has a nice cafeteria. I have visited it for events but have never eaten there for lunch or dinner. I have how ever tried the food from their catering and it was very nice.
    What to do for fun

    NCTC has many activities for students to participate in. The Student Life Organization usually has several guests for students to attend. I personally like to attend the plays that they put on. I also am apart of their Visual Arts Club.

    It is a nice small college. The workers don't always know what they are doing. It's hard to get any information here, from anyone.
    Tips for prospective students

    It's an easy college. But the financial aid people have no clue what they are doing. You will get the run around.
    What to do for fun

    Gainesville has nothing to do really. You could go to the outlet mall or the small theater there. Or drive to Denton. Most people go to the casino.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you are considering taking classes, before you register make sure you take a look at the rate the professor area. North Central Texas College has several campuses. Gaineseville, Bowie, Graham, Flower Mound, and Corinth. All campuses offer online courses as well as classes on each campus. though not all classes are offered online. No matter what you choose to go, you are in for a great learning experience.
    Dorm Life

    I do not live in a dorm this does not apply. The only campus I know of that has dorms is the campus located in Gainseville. It is also the main campus.
    Food and Dining

    I attend classes at the Corinth campus. While there are two places located in the break area, there is no real cafeteria on campus. However, across the street there is a Mexican Restaurant and and Italian Restaurant, both of which are good.
    What to do for fun

    There are all kinds of groups you can join on campus if desired.
    Greek Life

    There are no fraternities or sororities.
    Campus Safety

    The Corinth campus is not a large one but there are several security guards located on the premises and they are visible.

    this school has been very helpful - and relatively inexpensive- in guiding me in my schooling. i started taking dual credit classes as a high school student and have taken part of the rn program and several other core classes. highly recommended for hs students or those needing to finish basics.
    Tips for prospective students

    register and verify enrollment and receipt of payment before the first day of class. if you pay at a time separate from the date of registration, you may be backed out of classes without knowing it.
    Academic Rigor

    nursing classes were top notch as far as being challenging. however, being a fairly decent student, many of my other classes have been middle of the road in challenge.
    Food and Dining

    gainesville cafeteria has the best breakfast.
    Bang for the buck

    for the money, it's the best place to get started.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    love the amount of blood drives they do on campus.
    Great for these types of students

    dual credit, college freshmen, nursing - lvn or rn prospects as well as bridge (lvn-rn) prospects.
    Campus Safety

    never felt uneasy at any campus.

    The teacher's care about their student's and always tell you how they can help you out of class.
    Am enjoying being here

    There are many fun event's and a pool table at the Gainesville Campus. The Corinth campus feels like a high school, but the Gainesville campus allows you to walk outside and feel the weather.
    Bang for the buck

    It is well worth it to get your core classes out of the way, and It has a great nursing program.
    Tips for prospective students

    The campus book store, buys books back and now allows people to rent out books for the semester, which is recommended to save money. If you commute, stack your classes together to allow you to make fewer trips or avoid long waiting times, but allow breaks. If you play an INSTRUMENT look into the music program. The professors will be happy to give you scholarship money.
    Great for these types of students

    Great if you don't know what you want to do yet. Aim for the associates degree to get core classes out of the way. Also, the nursing program and hairstyling is a big part in campus. The Music Program is looking to grow, so If you play an INSTRUMENT, please look into into the music program. The professors will be happy to give you scholarship money.

    Did learn a lot

    The relationship with your professor was awesome. I really enjoyed the class sizes and interactions with other students.
    Did enjoy being here

    I loved NCTC, I attended the Corinth campus. The classes were small and the campus was in one building. I had been out of school for about 9 years and the experience was pleasant.
    Bang for the buck

    The cost is minimal compared to a 4 year university. I feel that I definitely got my money's worth.
    Tips for prospective students

    Communication with your professor is key to help you reach your goals. Use all of the available resources the school has to offer.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is good for all types of students. The classes were evenly dispersed with all ages of students.
